13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 4-8 on the AW including a C&D success in May last year; beaten a head back here on New Year's Day and although off ten weeks since, she is proven fresh; major player. |
9/4 |

9th 6 (14) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made the running for two of her three AW wins; not disgraced over C&D recently in only her second turf run and although more is needed it wouldn't surprise to see her do better on grass. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exploited reduced mark on yard debut over C&D but was beaten at odds-on when escaping a penalty at Ffos Las; that was a missed opportunity as he's now 6lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance. |
4/5 |

1st 7 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at 6f and 7f on artificial surfaces; on a losing run of over two years but he acts on turf and is on a useful mark for his latest new yard on the pick of his 2025 form; usually wears aids but none today. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Can lead; has won at both sprint trips on this course; two good runs in classified events during February but below best at Wolverhampton last month and was beaten nearly out of sight back over 5f on turf last time; first-time visor replaces blinkers; others higher up the list. |
9/1 |

Three times a runner-up on AW this year; unplaced in five turf runs and he comes here with a point to prove. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f handicaps at Newcastle last October but ended his 2025 campaign with a poor run and it a similar story on his seasonal return in May; absent since and likely vulnerable. |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |
16/1 |

8 (6) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Comes here chasing a C&D hat-trick after two narrow wins last month; still feasibly weighted up 3lb and should be in the thick of the action. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |
11/2 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
First three wins were on turf but last three have come on Tapeta; only 1lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win in January but that was a Class 5 and he finished out the back in his final run during the winter; now goes back up in grade and he has work to do after 189 days off. |
25/1 |
|
10th 9 (8) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |
11/8 |

3rd 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D). |

9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |
