15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say. |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return. |
7/2 |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Frequent slow-starter who's run well a few times over C&D without winning and is on a handy mark; fared best of the near-side group at York before a solid effort from a wide stall at Wolverhampton; goes on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Previous C&D winner but often hindered by starting slowly; sixth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (left off here); another win is overdue but he doesn't look ready to strike. |
6/1 |
|
6th 19 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |
6/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

Scored at Lingfield (6f) in January but below par since, only tenth on a rare turf start at Newmarket (6f) ten days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins have been on AW and latest was on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in January; 4lb lower here but he's struggled at Wolverhampton in last three runs and has plenty to prove back on turf. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |
15/2 |

6th 8 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Resurgent front-runner who has collected five wins (three over C&D) this year; on fairly tough mark now and was soundly beaten at Newmarket on Friday but is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
