2nd 10 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Last run was underwhelming but she was performing well prior to that in 5f/6f handicaps; on the downside, she's drawn quite wide on her first visit to this track. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a third AW victory of 2026 when prevailing at Lingfield (5f) in April and she posted another good effort when third of ten in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up once more. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Stuck on a losing run but has never been lower in the ratings and latest fourth of ten at Sandown was in a higher grade; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18, but he has dropped to an attractive mark and has won twice and been placed five times from 12 starts over C&D; one to be interested in. |

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 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |
13/8 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb better off for a neck with Call Time on their run at Ffos Las (6f, soft) 23 days ago; had earlier won at that track (5f, good) and would seem likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained all four wins over 5f, the latest on ground that was slower than the official good here last month; also suited by soft/heavy and recent 3lb rise ought to be manageable but his record over 6f is not compelling. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won here on good ground but appreciates it softer, as he showed when going close over 5f at Chepstow three runs back; he's considered off a good mark. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW in February 2024, including over C&D; without a win since but he ran well when runner-up behind Let's Go Hugo at Wolverhampton on first start for 177 days; may come on for that and he could go well. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice for John Butler in 2024, one of which came over C&D; not been in the same form since and contests his first classified following a break; best watched. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |
4/1 |
