2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who scored off 2lb lower at Newcastle in May and she's held her form with five creditable efforts since then; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if she gets the breaks back on AW. |

4th 1 (14) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Beaten off this mark all four starts since a 7f AW win, albeit running with great credit; widest stall and slow ground could prove stumbling blocks. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable mare who won won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and has finished a close fourth at Lingfield and over C&D (good to firm) in her last two starts; this is competitive against some progressive 3yos but she's been as good as ever this year and should go well again. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) and Brighton (7f, good to firm) this summer then runner-up at Brighton (7f, good) when bidding for a hat-trick; he's back into a bigger field today but ran well in such a scenario at Ascot in May and this in-form contender might have a part to play. |

2nd 1 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Reliable 5yo who was too strong for Dion Baker here last month and now bids for a hat-trick off 4lb higher; solid chance. |
6/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

2-41 with last win at Lingfield (7f) last December off 1lb higher; has shown bits of form since and is down to a career-low mark so cannot be left out of calculations. |

5th 5 (10) |

Not beaten far in a turf handicap here last month and he wasn't beaten far as favourite over C&D ten days later; Billy Loughnane booked; drawn wide but not discounted. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Gained his fifth success when winning here on soft ground in June off the same mark as today but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since; each-way contender if back to best. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended long losing run with soft-ground C&D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away. |
9/2 |

4th 5 (6) |

Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

On a good mark on 2025 best; retains ability but she will need to raise her game to come out on top in this competitive event. |

5th 1 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winner here this time last year (1m) and also won in early September 2024; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so there are positives under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins and several solid efforts in defeat round here, all over 1m (won over 7f on the turf course last summer); back on her last successful mark and is one to consider under Donagh Murphy, who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Some good efforts in defeat in 7f turf handicaps last summer but successfully returned to sprints this year, winning at Bath (5f, good) and 6f (good to firm) on this track; perhaps good to soft ground counted against her last time but needs more off her current mark back at 7f. |
16/1 |

12th 3 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Can be slowly away but not last time when a cosy winner at Brighton (6f, good to firm); up 4lb but has competitive form off this sort of mark. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
0-15; third of seven over C&D on his penultimate start; has dropped 11lb this calendar year and has a chance from this mark on several pieces of form in that period; below par at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) latest; jockey has been in the first four in 22-31 rides for this trainer (five seasons). |
10/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-14; third of seven in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but still to fully convince he wants this sort of trip; Tapeta debut. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13; down the field at Lingfield (7f, good) 17 days ago but he now returns to AW off a mark 8lb lower than when second of eight here over 7f in October; stamina for this far is a question mark but his pedigree suggests it's worth exploring (dam 1m2f/15.5f winner). |

9st 11lb |
Often leads; seven wins in 2026, mostly in sprints but also over C&D; much higher in the weights than his latest 7f win in July but he won with authority on Southwell AW last month and perhaps a further 7lb rise won't be beyond him. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Not won this year but he has run the odd good race, including when a close third at Southwell (1m, AW) on Saturday; wouldn't be sure to back it up. |
8/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
1m course winner in 2022; second of nine over this C&D on his reappearance in March but he was disappointing at Brighton (1m) when last seen three months ago; could go well dropped back in trip on his return. |
28/1 |

10th 13 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina. |
