27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack), but has also won four times on Tapeta including here; latest effort back at Kempton can be excused and he is respected from just 1lb above his last winning mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time AW winner and the latest three have been over C&D; has mixed record for new trainer this season but he was runner-up at Southwell last time and remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his win here in May; key player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time AW winner who has four wins and a second to his name in five starts in 7f Tapeta handicaps; the drop back from 1m and switch from turf both look in his favour off his last winning mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four course wins over 7f; went close at that trip last month and a subsequent turf defeat isn't the run to judge him on; has had only one attempt at 1m and he appeared to stay; career best needed to win, though. |
8/1 |
|
12th 9 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 4-9 in AW handicaps when winning at Kempton (7f) last month and went close there next time (7f); key player if transferring his form back to grass; well beaten here on sole turf start but that was his debut back in September 2024. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All of his four wins have been over C&D and latest was from the front in 14-runner race (7-2 favourite) two weeks ago; up 4lb but that was a personal best last time and he should make another bold bid; respected. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Reasonable AW form in Britain before being picked up for 15,000gns in July; mid-field in 7f claimer on stable debut; will do well to get competitive in this, unless new headgear works. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
One of three for yard; AW winner in Britain for Kevin Phillipart De Foy; last seen finishing midfield in a Kempton handicap in May off 81; rider's claim eases welter burden and he'd be conceding much more weight to most of these in a handicap; interesting on stable bow. |
4/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won a Southwell maiden (6f, Tapeta) last summer and was runner-up in a 7f handicap there last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and that was a promising effort after five months off; interesting contender off unchanged mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

7f novice winner for Ed Walker; made a successful stable debut off 4lb lower in March (7f, good to soft) but hasn't kicked on from there. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from six starts for three different yards but he was disappointing in a 7f handicap at Thirsk (ninth of 13) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's untried on AW. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly-raced 4yo; attracted support and made a perfect start for new connections when seeing off 14 rivals at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a better race but there was a lot to like about the way he responded to pressure last time; can do better. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Course regular who won this race last year off 4lb lower; won again over C&D in January and secured a third success when bagging Lingfield handicap (7f, Polytrack) in April; now just 1lb higher after three lesser efforts and he's not readily dismissed. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and latest was over C&D in April; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in both subsequent runs (AW/turf) and needs to rediscover his spark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Missed a huge chunk of his career, having finhished second in a Group 2 as a 2yo, and was below market expectations back from another layoff a month ago; the return to turf should suit, though, down another 3lb, and it's too soon to write him off. |
6/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won on Windsor debut in June 2022 and was runner-up in the Group 2 Richmond (6f, good to firm) next time; looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and was well held in two handicaps last year; has bit to prove after another absence and this is a new trip. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Impressed in a Windsor maiden on his 2yo debut (6f, good to firm) and finished second in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes one month later; absent since finishing fourth in a Ripon Listed event 1,116 days ago (gelded in the meantime); handicapper has given him a chance (rated 107 after Goodwood) but the ground is an unknown and he has too much to prove. |

Rated 7lb lower than on the AW, but is hard to warm to on his latest efforts; needs the first-time blinkers to make a difference. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has claims on his best form last year but he ended last season with a poor run at Leicester (7f, good) in October and his last win was 21 months ago; others preferred. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |
