Absent since June but he will appreciate the return to AW and is 1lb lower than for his last win; this looks too competitive though. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three handicaps at Lingfield (1m4f-1m5f, AW) this winter; never a threat when fourth back on turf at Windsor last month; others hold stronger claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins; stays further than this but the trip shouldn't be an issue; ran as well as he ever has at Southwell in August last time (after a layoff) but this race will demand more. |
6/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
3-15 on AW (last two wins were at this track) compared to 0-4 on turf; in good form at 1m4f on AW initially this year, including a second under Taryn Langley; there was a dip in April when last seen but it's easy to see him returning in a major role for his in-form yard. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood in June and followed up in the Ladies' Derby over C&D (good to firm); however, he seems to have gone off the boil on his three runs since; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
New cheekpieces when he went back-to-back over 1m4f at Goodwood and Epsom but his form has dipped; effect of the headgear might be wearing thin. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and a case can be made on that form but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Haydock only last Friday. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at York last time; now drops back in grade but he has something to prove again after a break. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Kempton (1m4f) last May but he's been regressive since and was tailed off over C&D last time; record is now 1-12 and he needs a big turnaround. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at Kempton (1m4f) last May but his more recent form is far less encouraging, beating only one home in his last three starts; has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular hood. |

9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.5f) last May, but he's generally struggled since, including never involved in two 1m course handicaps in recent weeks; this trip is more suitable but would need to see market support to consider. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Won a Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) last May, but he's generally struggled since and was never involved on stable debut over C&D last month; has something to prove and he's still 3lb higher than for his win. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won on turf in the spring and was creditable second of 14 here (1m3f) in first-time blinkers in June; clearly wasn't himself when struggling here last month, after a break, and has a big role to play if back on song in first-time visor. |
