4th 6 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time Flat winner who came good over hurdles at the 12th attempt, with ready success here (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; carries 7lb penalty today but is due to go up by that amount anyway, and this drop back in trip won't be a problem. |

1st 3 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham and four-time winner on the Flat for current stable; has been placed five times in this sphere; steps up in trip off his lowest mark over hurdles but others make greater appeal. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
In the frame all four starts since returned to turf in April, most recently when second of seven at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; holds no secrets from the handicapper but is suited by this track and ought to go well again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed six-time winner who can front run; 2lb beneath the mark he defied at Newbury last summer (1m5f, good to firm; effective on good to soft) and he hasn't been running badly of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

Acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form off this 7lb higher mark at Haydock (1m6f, which he stays) 13 days later, however. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and her three wins since have been at Windsor at around 1m4f; below her best in recent starts, albeit she wasn't suited by the way the race developed here over 1m4f last time; on a handy mark and she steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner over 2m in October 2024 but her last three wins have been at Windsor over 11.5f; well held in three starts this year, albeit she wasn't helped by being caught wide at Lingfield last month. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run of 18 but does know how to win and drops below 0-60 level for the first time; each-way claims; stable also runs Maryland Star. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-race maiden; creditable efforts in three AW handicaps in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival at Windsor (11.4f) and Southwell (2m) in last two starts; has plenty to prove again and he needs a major revival back at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
14th 8 (4) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-race maiden, all on AW except when well beaten on good ground on latest outing; pretty consistent in this sphere and well treated judged on best efforts, but the move up from 1m4f requires some guesswork. |
16/1 |
|
6 (7) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden, all on AW; pretty consistent, stays 1m4f and edging down the weights but probably needs to find a bit extra for this turf debut. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Belatedly opened his account in Chelmsford contest (1m2f) in August; couple of subsequent defeats confirm his limitations and take strike-rate to just 1-23; not the percentage call. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 21st attempt in an amateur riders' race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but only fifth of nine behind Royal Pleasure at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; these conditions may suit him better having been placed in one go over this C&D. |
7/1 |
|
5 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 21st attempt when readily seeing off six rivals in an amateurs' race at Chelmsford 13 days ago; up 3lb but comes here at the top of his game. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Successful (over 1m3f-1m4f) in six of his last seven turf appearances, twice when fresh; possibilities provided he maintains top form on return from 441-day absence. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form. |
13/2 |
|
9 (3) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout. |
