23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |

10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-race maiden but she had a near-miss with cheekpieces added in a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; showed a good attitude with that rallying effort and she's a big player off unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never made her debut until April when second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good), which remains her best piece of form; found nothing for pressure on handicap debut (1m2f) but didn't appear unfancied at 7-2 and could be given another chance in new cheekpieces. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |

Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f; never better than fifth in nine Irish appearances; down the field over 1m here on Wednesday; third reserve. |

Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f but yet to reproduce that level of form for current connections, from 7f to 1m5f. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Not at best on the Flat this year but won off much reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; RPR 80) in July; goes without headgear on this hurdling debut but has the raw ability to pose a threat if she takes to this game. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner in 2023 on sole course start; has her good and ordinary days, once refusing to race, but first-time cheekpieces seemed to spur her on when a wide-margin winner at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; back up 7lb but still well treated on past exploits. |
100/30 |
|
6 (9) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
On a handy mark but isn't particularly solid on her form for current stable; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained all four wins on turf, the latest off today's mark in June 2025; seen only twice this year but kept on for respectable fourth at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month and will appreciate this ease in grade; a possible. |
14/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last June, but she's had only three runs since and has struggled in last two; has something to prove after another break and she needs a major revival. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off since a quiet run on the AW in December and that was after 147 days away so current wellbeing is an issue; however, only 3lb higher than when making all at Salisbury last summer (1m2f, good to firm) so not handicapped out of it. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |
