7th 4 (1) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Drew a blank last year but came down the weights, won over 7f on AW in February and competitive over 1m in two recent outings; case can be made but others have a bit less to prove in this big-field scenario. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 8 (10) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Was back off the same mark as for his Chelmsford success (7f, Polytrack) in February when second of six at Bath (1m, firm) 13 days ago; back up 2lb but he can't be left out of calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game on AW on his last three starts but he won off today's mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February and his sole run here yielded a C&D win in May 2024; versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins for Heather Main came at Kempton; not at his best for this yard, including back to sprinting last time after a spell over further, and isn't obviously fancied from the outside stall. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Two wins for Heather Main came over 6f and he hasn't always convinced over this trip; never involved for his new yard last time, when trying 1m for the first time, and needs much more into a stronger handicap. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Campaigned over 7f of late, generally leaving the impression he needs a return to 6f; has gained both wins at this distance and he's very attractively treated off current mark; respected. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent and soundly beaten back on turf at Doncaster this month; however, this two-time turf winner was runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and is not discounted off a dangerous mark. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer in first half of 2025 who was back on track when runner-up in 7f Kempton handicap in March; needs to back it up now returned to turf. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has nothing to prove under the conditions having won five times over 7f-1m here during the winter, but they were all at Class 6 level and she may again find this sort of company a shade warm. |
28/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
She has enjoyed a productive winter for her new connections, winning five races here; last week's third (1m), while respectable, came in a lower grade against other females and she looks vulnerable today. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five course wins this winter, including over this trip; disappointing effort here two weeks ago and she needs to rebound with a career best. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Winner of ten races on the AW including three over C&D; still 1lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest he remains capable of playing a part. |

4th 5 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time winner who won at Sandown last August and followed up by 6l at Epsom (both on soft) the following month off this mark; below that form this year though. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Four-time winner who won at Sandown in August and followed up by 6l over C&D (soft; acts on good) in September; just 2lb above that latter winning mark but there hasn't been much encouragement in three AW starts this term. |
16/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Course winner; two front-running soft-ground turf wins last year and of interest on that form; her two runs last month will need bettering though. |
