20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Best form when dead-heating for 6f Listed AW win in January, making it 2-2 for Ryan Moore; no serious inroads back on turf since, in a Group 3 and the 7f Victoria Cup on this course, but he did come from off the pace to finish a close fifth of 28 in this race (good to firm) last year and he shouldn't be overlooked back over C&D in first-time cheekpieces. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Looks well treated on this year's AW form but failed to transfer it back to turf (in Group 3) last time when bidding for a 6f hat-trick, and still has a weaker strike-rate in this sphere; bit to prove back at 7f and doesn't look the percentage call. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated with Diligent Harry in Listed grade to complete a Lingfield 6f double in January and take AW record to 4-8; effective when fresh but is by no means certain to transfer the improvement back to turf; only 1-9 in this sphere; tongue-tie applied. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Sole visit here yielded a win over this trip (good) in May but he hasn't figured in two subsequent starts, including when always behind at Windsor 11 days ago; hopes rest on a return to this course firing him back up. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Talented 2yo; soundly beaten on turf reappearance in 2025 and was kept to the AW for the rest of the year; probably helped by racing near the stand rail when making a winning return at Ascot (6f, good) in May, but still made a good impression and an early stumble counted against him at Chester since; should still have some improvement in him; thereabouts. |
9/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo and it was a first win since when taking good-ground Ascot handicap (6f) on his return to turf last month; no problem if this ground is softer and sound claims up 4lb. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped okay at Lingfield in January; down the field at Leicester last month but he was harried up front and weakened in the final furlong; dropped 2lb and this easier track will help; one to consider. |
9/2 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran creditably at Lingfield in January when bidding for a 6f AW double; 8lb higher than when second at Newmarket (7f) on last turf attempt but he's proved consistent since being gelded and his first two handicap wins were on good to firm; in the mix. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent during the AW season and made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance when midfield over C&D (soft) last month; on another career-low mark today but needs that recent run to have brought him on. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins as a 2yo, including a Listed success over 5f; last year's two wins came on AW but he is down in the weights ahead of this return to action and his course record means he can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (6) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Not out of it on his best form but consistency isn't his strongest suit; up in class and others appeal more for win purposes. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |
