22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |

4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won his first two handicaps 12 months ago, at about 1m3f around Windsor; respectable efforts in three defeats this year (1m4f on last two starts) and this trip is worth a go; cheekpieces added. |

Four defeats at short prices off this sort of mark since two Windsor wins late last summer; didn't look to love the Epsom experience last time, though, and will rightly be popular again; shortlisted. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't won for two years but regularly makes the frame and she went close under Ross Birkett at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; on unchanged mark and she should be in the thick of things again. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won juvenile hurdle over C&D in 2022; ended long losing run in basement-grade Flat race last month but has not run over hurdles since November 2024 and his current ability over jumps is tricky to gauge. |

It's been a while since he got his head in front on the line; was beaten less than 3l at Windsor last month and drops into a classified; needs to be considered. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark at 33-1 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in August; well beaten at Ripon since but on soft going; won here (1m6f, good to firm) last July and she's not ruled out now back on better ground. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (Jack Nicholls aboard); had struggled thereafter until springing a 33-1 surprise on AW at Lingfield (2m; from 3lb lower) a fortnight ago; no issues with good to soft/soft, so she has to enter the reckoning. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Came good for Tony Carroll at third attempt, in Ffos Las classified (1m, good to soft) last month; has a bit more on his plate in this handicap but the move back up in trip ought to suit; might be the answer. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on last three appearances, most recently when second in Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last month; will probably be on the premises again here but this steadily regressive mare remains without a win since 2023. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on three of her five starts since returning from long layoff this year, including C&D (good) handicap third two starts ago; likely to pose a potent threat in this basement grade. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done all her winning in the summer months and is currently 3-4 over this in-between trip; not as good since returning from a long absence but is still competitive at this level and holds claims on her latest Ffos Las third off the same mark. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive gelding who become inconsistent; punctuated a string of ordinary efforts with a near-miss in a small field over C&D in June (first-time blinkers) but well held the next twice before fading into a modest third over 1m4f here yesterday. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gave short-odds favourite a fright when second of four here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June but was soundly beaten on his other four starts for Tony Carroll this year and his latest win was in 2023. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won since 2023 but he went close in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has claims on that form but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l back at Brighton two weeks ago; risks attached. |

Huge prices and didn't beat many in three starts over 1m/1m2f last year; makes her handicap debut after seven months off; best watched unless backed. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |

She has finished last in two maidens this summer and the switch to slower ground needs to have a dramatic effect. |
