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 |

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. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed plenty of times since last success and current mark is attractive; well capable of taking a serious hand but his losing run is mounting up and latest effort wasn't one of his best. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; no win anywhere since October 2024 but he's been placed this year on both his visits to Windsor (5f, good to firm); drawn wider this time but he's considered each-way. |

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. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for the latest of three wins last year, but this season's form has been patchy and the suitability of ground faster than good is still to be established. |
8/1 |
|
10th 1 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Scored three times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
7th 9 (2) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Well handicapped on old form but he's not won since February 2024 and has been out of sorts in his last three runs; has something to prove after another break and others are preferred. |

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 |
