5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Scored over C&D (good to firm) in September and was also on target at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April; recent efforts have been respectable and he holds each-way claims at least. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his first win since landing a Group 3 in August 2023 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) off 3lb lower; his overall profile doesn't suggest he is likely to follow up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Yet to add to his Group 3 win at Glorious Goodwood three years ago but placed several times this year, including third at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; prior to that he was beaten only a neck over 1m4f at Epsom (good to firm) under Megan Jordan; tongue-tied first time. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-15 in handicaps, with the win on Lingfield AW (AW) last November but he's often been thereabouts, including on turf; bang there on Wolverhampton AW on both outings this term, the latest just three days ago; player. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice, including over C&D; most encouraging when runner-up over C&D four weeks ago on his return from a break and should go close here. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (12) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Novice winner who doubled his tally by a head over Lingfield's 1m2f in November; could go well off 3lb higher if ready to rock after his break. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner; ran well when second of 15 at Chester (1m4f, good) in May but she's been below her best in the four starts since; on a workable mark but others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time; back in calmer waters now but she looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a seller over C&D last October; only beaten 2l when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago on his first run back and should be suited by the step up in trip; can go well. |
11/2 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went close first time out as a 2yo for Andrew Balding and landed the odds in a C&D maiden on his comeback last March, so has that in his favour; closed out last season with a win in a seller but will need to improve on his five handicap efforts. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in ten runs came when 1-7f for a 1m AW maiden in March for Andrew Balding, whom he left for 28,000gns; stable debut in August was okay but well beaten on soft ground last month; would seem more likely to give his running than some but he is not straightforward. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (7f) in January for Jane Chapple-Hyam; in decent form since for current yard until only seventh in 1m2f handicap at Chester 13 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
AW winner over 7f for previous yard off 3lb higher; signs of getting it together for Ian Williams, albeit those were Class 5 handicaps at Chepstow and over 1m; down 1lb and, if he can see out the trip, wouldn't be without hope. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two AW wins at 1m for previous yard and he has run to a fair level for this one, on AW and good to soft; on a handy mark now but needs to show he has the stamina for this stiff test back at 1m. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won with cheekpieces added at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in February but that was a seller and he's been well back in handicaps in three runs for his current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's untried at this trip and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm; always close up) four weeks ago; back up another 7lb but his peak 2024 form (a win on good to soft here) was better still; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; spent a year with Jack Morland and got off the mark for him at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 19 days ago; sold again for 22,000gns one day later and this is his first run back with his former yard; back up 4lb and not proven beyond an extended 1m2f (unraced over this far); tongue-tie and headgear worn for his last yard is removed; quite a few questions, but peak 2024 form was a bit better. |
13/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came in May 2024 over about 1m2f when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; closest since when beaten a neck at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained since); still well handicapped on his best form. |
