28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb lower; three wins this year, the latest a runaway success at Brighton last month, but his progress has stalled on his last two starts; needs to raise his game again. |
10/1 |

19th 16 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; back-to-back wins over the extended 5f at Brighton this summer, the latter by a wide margin under Jude Fernandes this month; below-form third turned out under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) four days later and another 4lb higher now. |

3rd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up twice over 5f at Goodwood (good to firm/soft) in August/September and didn't run badly on heavy ground last time; now only 1lb higher than for C&D win in May and, with Tom Marquand a good booking, she might be the answer. |
4/1 |

6th 13 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bath winner in May (5f, good); plenty of sound runs since, including when runner-up at Goodwood last time (5f, soft); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Reliable sprinter who has been placed several times since her Bath win in May; back to that winning mark now and Oisin Murphy is booked; solid claims. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Probably hasn't enjoyed heavy/good to soft ground on turf the last twice but his record on Polytrack (4212) is a bit better than on Tapeta (484) and he remains 4lb higher than for his Kempton win (6f) in August. |
5/1 |
|
3 (5) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kempton winner (6f; from 5lb lower) in August; moderately progressive form came to an abrupt end on heavy ground at Salisbury (6f; favourite) latest, and it is a legitimate concern that his three best efforts have been on AW; cheekpieces added to regular tongue-tie. |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Most runs and best form have been on the AW, notably his recent first and second finishes in 6f handicaps; on a competitive mark and could yet show his worth on turf. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who's done most winning over 5f and is generally kept to that trip; soft ground likely behind a below-par effort last time and should do better back on the AW but there's little wiggle room off this mark. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who returned to winning form under Chloe Lyons at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; has won on soft) last month, but has twice been held off this mark since; needs a bit more; stable also runs Adalida. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Raised 10lb for back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (6f/5f; soft) and only narrowly denied his hat-trick last week (5f, good to soft) by Rambuso Creek who should run well in division one; solid chance. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 (12) |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways when beating Son Of Astar at Ffos Las (6f, soft) last month and made short work of following up back at Ffos Las (5f, soft) six days later; this race is more competitive but he is clearly in top form. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Close third here (5f) before an excusable defeat at Bath, then came home best on soft ground here last week (6f); penalised after that win but looks sure to give his running once more. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Nothing like the force of old but rediscovered some form and ran well from the front when close third in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if in similar mood again here. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago. |
20/1 |
