25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Raced mainly on turf, winning five times off lower marks; best efforts this term when runner-up twice at Bath; chance back on AW partly depends on the effects of first-time tongue-tie. |
11/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has two course wins over 1m2f; has run well on all three starts this summer but is 4lb above his last winning mark and remains vulnerable. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Triple course winner, including on firm and over this trip; placed over 1m2f here on his reappearance, when 1lb higher in May; probably too free at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) latest but will be an each-way player if able to settle better. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who is 1-17 on grass and finished tailed off in a match last week at Chepstow; did run well the time before but that was on the AW; due a 1lb drop. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only 1-16 on turf Flat and 5-25 on the AW, but latest return to form at Kempton (2m) bodes well for him giving Hope Rising something to think about. |
100/30 |

3rd 2 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time course winner, the latest last September (1m5f, firm); runner-up here on three of her last five starts, including her latest, and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who was runner-up twice here (including this trip) on firm in April; not at the same level twice since, although a slow start offers an excuse on the first occasion. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Scored at Bath in May and was one of two to pull clear of the others when close second of four off today's mark at Nottingham (also 1m6f, good to firm) last month; didn't fire on latest outing but this drop back in trip won't be a problem if he's back on song. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all for his last three wins, the latest at Bath in May; never better than when beaten a nose in four-runner race at Nottingham (again 1m6f on good to firm) two weeks ago, so he needs respect. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All 11 wins have been here, the latest over 1m2f one month ago when prevailing narrowly; only 2lb higher and he's fine at 1m. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained all ten wins at this track, the latest in 1m classified at start of this month; close second in handicap over that trip here (again on firm) a fortnight later and will be fine back over 1m2f but recent 4lb rise might leave this 8yo a shade vulnerable. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All ten wins achieved here, dropping to classified company to get his head back in front over this trip (firm) a fortnight ago; part of a strong hand in this finale for Adrian Wintle. |

9st 3lb |
Still to get her head in front and she came in last of eight in 11.5f Bath handicap 13 days ago; easy to look elsewhere. |

9st 4lb |
0-12 (Flat/hurdles); third off 4lb higher at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) last August but failed to build on that over 2m+ in her following three starts; drops back in distance on her first start since November. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on for third in recent selling handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good; behind Velvet Vulcan), making the frame in his fourth consecutive Flat race, but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |
12/1 |
|
8 (6) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-24 on the Flat but he wasn't running badly in this sphere prior to finishing tailed off over hurdles three weeks ago; not ruled out from this career-low mark with Oisin Murphy taking over. |
4/1 |
|
9th 6 |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |
66/1 |

9 (14) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; yet to strike form this season, though, and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |
40/1 |
|
10 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran of 133 races; three of his seven wins have been at this track (from 39 visits) but he has not won anywhere since July 2023 and has not been competitive this season, including two runs here. |
