20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time. |
20/1 |

12th 3 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; however, this 8yo wasn't at the top of his game at Southwell (1m, AW) in January and he may improve for this first outing since. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

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 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Both wins on the AW, the latest at Lingfield (7f) in April; twice well held since despite just a 2lb rise and others make greater appeal. |

8st 12lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one over 1m here; that's from 25 races and he's not done much this season; this trip is a big new move but he has been well held in his three 1m2f races. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one here (7f, good), but losing run now up to 14; drops to this level for the first time, which offers one ray of hope. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |

Dual handicap winner over 1m here and finished third of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D in March, but has gone quiet again since. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Both wins have come over C&D but latest was in January 2025; finished third over 7f here in March but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and others are preferred. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins on Lingfield AW but runner-up twice from six starts here; having run so poorly back on turf last time is the big stumbling block. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who remains consistent despite his age; recent strike-rate isn't great but he's down to 0-55 for the first time since returned to turf and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Largely consistent 9yo who ended a lengthy losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and comes here after a pretty good second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; suited by this track; likely contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll. |

9st 8lb |
Third in his last two starts over 1m/1m2f here, but now 0-19 despite a slipping mark and not sure dropping back to this trip is the key; blinkers return. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Regressive maiden who hasn't looked to see it out in a few previous tries at this trip, including over C&D this time last year; back in form here last time and this looks weaker again, given a second try in cheekpieces (in place of blinkers); stamina the question. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (11) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Windsor in June (1m, good to firm); now 2lb lower but that is a result of having shown little since; handles Polytrack but others look safer. |

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question. |

11st 1lb |
Arrives in top form, winning two of his last three starts (1m2f and 1m, good to firm; both wins at Brighton); up 5lb in a stronger race but he still makes some appeal; stable won this in 2020 and 2025. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Dual course winner, latterly over 1m2f (good to firm) last month; travelled well for a long way when fourth in higher-grade company at Sandown (1m, good to firm; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago and is of strong interest back at this track. |
100/30 |

4th 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance and returned to form to win at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) recently; he likes that seaside venue and drops back in trip today, but he is capable of running well away from Brighton and at 1m, so he could be in the shake-up. |

Improved once returned to AW and bagged a hat-trick across October and December (1m); on the scoresheet again upped to 9.5f at Wolverhampton (career-best form) in February; form took a slight dip on last two starts, while his earlier turf form isn't comparable so interesting to see how he fares back on grass. |
