21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has an up-and-down profile but won a handicap at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) last September and fared best of those to come from off the pace when third on her reappearance at Chester (10.3f, good) in May; returns from another break and slow ground would boost her claims. |

3rd 8 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Twice highly tried after winning a handicap at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) from 7lb lower in September; still unexposed, but she may need this after six months off and is drawn wide. |
20/1 |

1st 6 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Potential Oaks candidate at the start of the year but her Listed sixth (soft) in June has been the best she can manage from three starts; heavy defeat on her handicap debut (also Goodwood, 1m2f, good) in July; risks attached but she still needs a market check with Rossa Ryan taking over. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |

Formerly trained in France; has bits of British form but holds very weak claims on 2026 efforts for this stable; best watched unless the betting suggests a resurgence is likely. |
33/1 |

10th 7 (11) |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-time winner in France; this front-runner was runner-up in twice in a row for Tom Dascombe last July/September but things didn't go to plan on his final two runs for that yard (Flat/hurdles) and he was well beaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Chepstow in May. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form. |

1st 4 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win this season but has been pretty consistent and is edging down the weights; once ran quite well on soft ground but confidence in him would be higher on a quicker surface, particularly over this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

On a losing run but he's proving consistent this season and posted a solid third of six in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; this course winner ought to be thereabouts once more. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 125y |
11st 12lb |
Glorious Goodwood 1m2f handicap winner for William Haggas in 2024 and the task has been to get him to settle over hurdles; there was really no second at Listowel, so easily did promising Love Me Tender (GER) win, but it was still a fair effort; hood now left off. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Talented 1m2f performer in Britain, including a Glorious Goodwood success in 2024 for William Haggas; beaten 15l last time at Killarney and shouldn't be long in winning over hurdles. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner in Britain on good-to-firm; improved on moderate hurdles debut when beaten 17l at Listowel on good 84 days ago having raced plenty keen; each-way claims if building on that. |

Two course wins to his name as well as a few placed efforts; latest 1m4f run not the race to judge him on but still looks a shade high in the weights for a race like this. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Multiple winner down the years, including at this track, and all ground seems to come alike to him; dropping back into Class 4 will help but his stamina has to be taken on trust. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who won two in a row at Lingfield (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm) and maybe went off too hard when well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; has won here twice and he might not be far away if bouncing back. |

10st 1lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 1m2f win at Nottingham and has continued in good form, a close seventh of 12 in 1m2f Goodwood handicap last time; in the mix again. |
6/1 |
|
7th 1 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Smooth success at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on her reappearance in April; four solid efforts have followed, most recently a close second at Windsor 18 days ago when she was only picked off late; should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Looked as good as ever when scoring in good style on seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April but subsequent efforts, though respectable, suggest she's a shade vulnerable off her current mark. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |

1m win for Andrew Balding last May; yet to win a handicap but she is dropping down the weights and she didn't run too badly at Windsor last month; still to conclusively prove she needs this far. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A fair 1m winner for Andrew Balding in 2025; largely below par for current yard though, racing freely when last of nine in 1m Ascot handicap on recent return; should strip sharper here though. |
10/1 |

9th 8 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Had plenty of chances from marks in the mid 70s last season, ending it with two below-par runs; her mark has eased as a result but it's not enough to tempt back from nine months off. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Started career with two wins at about 1m last summer, the latest over this C&D from the front; promising start for new yard on Newcastle AW in July but he faded badly after making the running back here 11 days ago; has a query for now. |
25/1 |
|
9th 4 (2) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two novice events last summer including over C&D; signed off for Hugo Palmer with a close second at Kempton (first-time visor) in July but he's taken two backward steps for his new yard since; has bit to prove and he needs to get back near best. |
16/1 |

11th 14 (12) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Hasn't had much racing; signed off for Hugo Palmer with good second to The Liffey over C&D; far from disgraced when never-nearer fifth to Victory Ace at Newcastle next time; may have more to offer for new yard. |

8st 10lb |
Improved form for James Tate and she followed a narrow defeat in a Nottingham novice in July by opening her account in a Ripon maiden (also 1m2f, good) last month; opening mark looks workable and she's of interest on this handicap debut. |

7 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Hint of ability in 1m AW events in Ireland as 2yo but she showed much more on debut for this yard when losing out narrowly at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in July, a race that worked out well with the winner and third going in next time; strong claims. |
10/11 |

18th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Out of a well-connected mare and displayed promise on both 1m AW starts in Ireland for Diego Dias in the autumn; worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut but others have much stronger form claims. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten on turf on his last two starts (soft/good to soft) but both of his wins have been over this C&D, the most recent when visored for the first time in February off a 7lb lower mark; could be more competitive back on this surface. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Two AW wins at 1m, the latest in February, but it's over two years since he achieved anything on turf and that was in a maiden; up against it. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Up and down on AW since these aids were fitted at the start of 2026, winning at Kempton and back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Lingfield in May (both 1m); no good thing to improve on poor efforts in two previous turf handicaps last year. |
