2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a dangerous mark and he could get away with this trip in a well-run race but he took a nasty fall at Chepstow seven weeks ago and perhaps best watched on the back of that. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer. |

Career-best effort when winning a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; up 3lb but could be capable of better at this trip; Ashley Lewis's 5lb claim a bonus. |

Came good with narrow 6f win at Haydock in April and ran at least as well when very close second over that trip here (good) the following month; off since lesser effort ten weeks ago but stays 7f and enters calculations. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |

Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f. |
25/1 |

8th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |

Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |

Returned from a break with four decent runs (all over 6f) this spring and continues to edge down the weights; now 0-29 since his 2yo success but probably won't be far away; sports refitted cheekpieces. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2024 by winning the corresponding race off 5lb lower; returned from 170 days off to win another C&D handicap in April (off this mark); not at his best in a Class 5 here two weeks ago but he was caught wide and shouldn't have that issue from stall 4; one to consider. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Handy sort who has been running well on turf lately including when second of five at Chepstow (6f, good) last time; looks interesting now returned here with his record over C&D reading 113; high on list. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Largely consistent since returning from break with 6f AW win in April, and lost out only by two necks when third in slightly better race than this at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month; below that form when favourite over C&D soon afterwards but still features prominently in calculations. |

Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina. |
