14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |

Record of 2-3 on AW; 0-9 on turf but finished first in her group at Goodwood (5f, good) on seasonal debut and looks a possible danger provided this race pans out better. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (3) |

Two 5f wins on AW last year but she's been absent since a disappointing run at Southwell (tenth of 12) in September; has bit to prove on her return and this is competitive back on turf. |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Two AW wins at Newcastle over the winter; his form has cooled more recently but today's return to Class 5 company will help and the cheekpieces return after being discarded last time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his 5f win at Newcastle on New Year's Day; three runs since have not been quite so encouraging though and he may prove vulnerable back up at 6f. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stands at 14; twice a runner-up at Kempton over the winter (6f) but he hasn't beaten many rivals in five starts since April; return to 5f, drop in class and latest change of headgear not enough to tempt. |
25/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in 6f novice at Salisbury as 2yo but he's had some seriously poor results either side of wind surgery, failing to beat a rival on last four starts; visor replaces cheekpieces; hard to see the light. |
20/1 |
|
10 (5) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 6f turf novice as 2yo; finished placed in three of first four AW starts for this yard but he's been through difficult times since the spring, including when back from wind surgery latest; now in cheekpieces; risky. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor. |
16/1 |
|
6th 11 (9) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Five-time AW winner who was unable to take advantage of his lower turf mark last time and it remains three years since his only success in this sphere; others preferred. |
16/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Kept busy on the AW this winter and already a dual 5f winner at Newcastle; not out of things if translating that form but he's yet to show his best form on turf. |

9st 5lb |
Runner-up three times this winter (including twice over C&D), but he was disappointing after another slow start at Chelmsford last month; needs to bounce back and he's now 0-13 since his sole win last June. |
7/1 |

5 (9) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (5f, good) in June on handicap debut, his only win from 11 races; wore headgear for last six outings and the last three were major backward steps, so others have more pressing claims. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon. |

9st 7lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick last September, with second leg over C&D (good); got back near best when scoring at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in the spring but he's been disappointing since and has been a long way below form in last two runs; down the list. |
16/1 |

9 (10) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a quick hat-trick last September, including over C&D; better than ever when winning at Leicester in April (5f, good to firm); not so good since but he is now 1lb lower than for the Leicester win. |
14/1 |
|
3 (4) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Well held in last two starts but he ran into two well-handicapped rivals when third at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his front-running win at Leicester in April and has claims if he can get back near that level. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

3/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

3/1 |

4th 6 (4) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner in November and added to tally when making all over 6f at this course in January; failed to recover from a tardy start at Southwell next time and wasted no time showing he's still in form when third back here (6f again) 23 days ago; respected. |

Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 (11) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Trip and track no issue and he arrives on the back of a hard-fought win at Redcar two weeks ago (6f, good); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

14 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |
