31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
7/1 |

6th 7 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D). |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Late-maturing 8yo who scored on seasonal debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in May and posted another good effort when third at Ffos Las (6f, good) in June; remains on career-high mark but probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent and probably a career-best to win after a break at Chepstow (5f, good to firm; fine on softer); only 2lb higher so has to be taken seriously. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked. |
20/1 |

12th 11 (12) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) under Myla Coppins last month but has failed to reproduce it twice since. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has seven wins to his name and shaped well when placed on his first two starts this year; never figured when favourite at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June but race may have come too soon and dangerous to dismiss. |
11/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has record of 3-6 over C&D and he's finished placed in his two runs this season including a close second at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and he's 2lb lower than when winning at Windsor (6f, good) last August; he has a good record at Windsor but can also be effective elsewhere; chance. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more. |
20/1 |
|
11 (12) |
22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best. |
10/1 |
|
2 (8) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; yet to win this season but she was a good third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and filled the same position behind a big improver at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time; continues to edge down the weights and she's in the mix back on turf. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

4-14 on AW but 0-10 on turf; badly out of form this year (six runs) and needs to turn a corner. |

9th 4 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time AW winner but holds dismal claims on his 2026 form in that sphere and his unconvincing record on turf adds doubt. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track. |
9/4 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins (6f) on turf and she won well at Ffos Las (good) in August; 0-10 on AW, though, and she raced freely and hung for pressure when sixth of nine over C&D 19 days ago. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All three 6f wins on turf; has form on both AW surfaces but record on sand now stands at 0-9 and this is her first Polytrack run for two years. |
6/1 |
