1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Seeking career win number ten after a narrow C&D win 11 days ago off what was a career-low mark; back up 3lb but should give a good account of himself. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over. |

All three wins have been at this track but losing run is mounting up despite some commendable shows this year; others preferred. |

2nd 4 (3) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Rain welcomed as it was good to soft when she bolted up over C&D before dropping away under a penalty on the AW (1-15 on that surface); now has to deal with her new mark (10lb higher than for that last win) but would command respect should it get wet. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Reappeared with a near miss on her stable debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and she built on that with a dominant display at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last week; raised her form to a new level with that 5l win and she's 5lb well in under a penalty; should be hard to catch back on AW. |
6/4 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
The most recent of her two wins came in a handicap at Sandown (5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) last September when trained by Lemos De Souza; posted some good efforts for Charlie Wallis this year and was narrowly denied on her stable debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; steps up in grade but has to be considered. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won seven times for current yard, including over C&D; scored off 2lb higher at Lingfield in June and hasn't been beaten far on last two runs; not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (5) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple winner but she'll need to run better than she has in her last three races, and usually runs Chepstow well. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in February 2024; ended last year with a close call at Newcastle (5f, AW) but he's been out of sorts since and was last of 14 at Doncaster in April; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival after a break. |
20/1 |
|
14th 7 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Close third over C&D in November off 3lb higher but he's finished down the field in his last three starts and his last win was over two years ago; others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari). |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Nursery winner; beaten nine times otherwise and was never going the pace when behind Smooth Silesie at Goodwood last week. |
10/1 |
|
7 (7) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

9st 3lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in June last year and now 12lb lower, but his five efforts this year (including three for this yard) don't suggest he is ready to take advantage. |
20/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five of his last seven wins have come at Brighton, including when he took six-runner handicap (5.5f, good to firm) in August; comparable form back at that track on his last two outings, but they suggest he needs a bit extra from this mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11lb beneath her last winning mark and has finished second in three of her last four races; perhaps not entirely straightforward (hung last time) but must have a chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
She's failed to shine on turf this year but has finished second at Wolverhampton on two of her last three starts (5f, AW) and she won here last summer; has a big part to play if the return to grass isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade. |

10th 1 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced in ten starts in Britain; has finished in front of only two of 21 rivals in his last three starts; jockey booking is the only positive |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (3) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Unplaced in nine starts over 5f-8.6f; blinkers need to make a difference (has worn a hood and cheekpieces). |
12/1 |
