4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Doubled his winning tally when beating four rivals (including Too Much Trevor) over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago; only 2lb higher and may be the one to capitalise if Prefer The Sister runs below form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-26 but generally consistent; didn't show any obvious improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and likely to be competing for minor honours. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-25 but he went close over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and his Bath third last month (5.7f, good to firm) was another sound effort; should remain competitive with first-time cheekpieces added. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on turf; came up well short last time when bidding for a Chepstow double; far from solid on his AW form and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Popped up from nowhere when winning in a first-time tongue-tie over C&D (soft) nine days ago; well drawn as it turned out that day and recent history suggests he's no certainty to repeat the effort, back up 4lb and into a better race. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run and he went too freely in first-time cheekpieces for his new yard when a below-par fourth of eight in 5f Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; tongue tied now with more required. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Went close over C&D two runs ago but wasn't so good at Hamilton 11 days ago and is now 0-28; a first-time tongue-tie is added. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
27-race maiden but he went close to getting off the mark when beaten a neck at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago; drops back in trip with solid place claims. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two creditable runs for new connections but he is an exposed 26-race maiden and may have to make do with some more minor money. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |
12/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten-favourite in five of his last six starts, latterly behind Thanks Dad at Yarmouth, and has tended to pull hard/not see it out in a few starts at beyond sprint trips; capable off this mark but is still a maiden and comes with risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still to score but he's a reliable type and comes here after a good second of eight in 5.5f classified event at Brighton in June; recent cheekpieces are left off here (just hooded) and he can go well after a break. |
9/4 |
|
5 (13) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; track and ground no concern and he was running on well when second over 5.3f here 12 days ago; has been placed over 7f but others may see it out better. |
7/2 |
