15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time C&D winner, including the corresponding race in 2022; no win in 2026 but he ran well for second in a stronger C&D handicap 17 days ago (Gone Rogue back in sixth); won't be far away if returning in the same form. |

2nd 9 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Ran no race at Salisbury last time in a handicap he had won the previous year; had been in good form prior to that and couldn't dismiss; third in this 12 months ago. |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark (for today's rider); solid efforts on last three starts and he's a leading contender. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner (all on good to firm); has finished third here on his last two outings, including behind Tronido over C&D ten days ago (good to soft), and in this race last year behind that same rival (soft; beaten around 7l); solid claims. |
3/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |

3rd 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |

9st 11lb |
Only 1lb higher than for last year's win in this race (good to firm) and returns on the back of a solid effort at Windsor; holds every chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who usually gives a good account on this track, winning over C&D (good) in May 2025, and is on a winnable mark; showed signs of a revival on Wolverhampton AW last week after a relatively quiet patch and can be on the premises. |
10/1 |

4th 13 (1) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Seven-time winner and latest was at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in April; well handicapped on that form but he's not threatened since and was beaten 6l at Brighton last time; others preferred. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Disappointing filly who was soundly beaten over 1m on her first two appearances this year; not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip, and could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
50/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won a maiden at Epsom (7f, good to soft) on her debut in July 2024 but she never threatened in three starts last year and last month's Chelmsford return didn't point to a revival either. |
20/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |

Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |
10/1 |
|
5 (11) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |
16/1 |
|
1 (10) |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Kicked off 2026 with two wins (6f, AW/good) and placed on next two starts, on the latest occasion beaten just a head at Windsor (6f, good to firm); well beaten at Salisbury since but on soft going; remains unexposed over sprint trips and is firmly in calculations back on better ground. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Started life in bumpers but won Lingfield novice (AW) and Leicester handicap (good) earlier this year on his first two starts at 6f; two good placed efforts last month, latterly when just claimed by Under The Twilight in blanket finish at Windsor (good to firm); one run away from a sound surface in this sphere, when last of six, does sound a note of caution. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Started life in bumpers but won at Lingfield (novice) in January and Leicester (handicap) in April on his first two attempts at 6f; creditable third at Brighton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and he may build on that, as it came after four months off; could have more to offer. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
7f winner at Brighton in spring but soundly beaten on last two starts and she has something to prove back on AW. |
16/1 |
|
7 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh. |
15/2 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won C&D maiden in October 2024 for Hughie Morrison but has struggled in handicaps since; the switch to current yard has not changed his fortunes and he's showing little sign that he is ready to take advantage of a declining mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 (9) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He's dropped down the weights and didn't run badly when third of seven at Brighton (7f, good to firm) recently, but he's 0-12 in handicaps and needs a bigger performance if he's to come out on top today. |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |
20/1 |
|
6th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times for two different stables at Brighton last year (1m, good to firm-good) but was soundly beaten on first three starts for current stable this spring (all 7f); considered only if lively in the betting. |

7th 6 (2) |

9st 8lb |
Two wins, including C&D, this summer; three defeats at Epsom have followed August's 7f win there but he is back to a winning mark and this is an ease in grade; not discounted. |
11/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good) in June and here (7f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts here on his last two starts (including C&D) but 1lb out of the handicap today and may again be vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered. |
