29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground. |
7/2 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took a while to open her account but is a dual 5f course winner this year; also suited by 6f but current mark demands a career-best effort and some of her 3yo rivals have more potential. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win last June off a 2lb higher mark; has run some good races on AW this year, most recently finishing a close third of 11 at Kempton four weeks ago (6f); solid contender. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2lb lower than when gaining her only success at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last June and has the inside stall, but she does seem best at the minimum trip. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Fair second over C&D in January but she was unable to build on it at Chelmsford 12 days ago; up in class today and others are preferred. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six turf wins, three in 2025; 0-22 on AW and although having a healthy pull at the weights with Desdemona on their C&D run in February he's not looked in peak form on last two starts. |
13/2 |
|
4th 2 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW and 0-21 on grass, but he has become dangerously well handicapped on the pick of his turf form last year; should find this race is run to suit. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (5f, AW) last February; ran well when a close third of nine there 20 days ago and the return of a visor is a positive (last three wins have came in a visor). |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not found his best form this winter but his latest run was more encouraging and he has slipped to a handy mark; needs to up his game but it is not out of the question. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Plenty in his favour down to this class for the first time at Newcastle last Thursday (started favourite) but sat on a strong pace and unsurprisingly cracked late; holds claims again in first-time tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all when winning his novice from the same stall over C&D as a 2yo; sharply regressive since but showed plenty of zip from a wide stall over 6f last time and this is his first foray into 0-50 company; one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time 5f winner on Tapeta; recent form has been well below that level from 2024 and a huge revival is needed to win this based on his last three starts. |
10/1 |
