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. |
6/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-18 before he won a C&D handicap (good to firm) last Monday, coming from the rear; well beaten in his hurdle races on softer than good but has not encountered it on Flat and having some recent form is respected. |

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. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Hasn't won for two years but regularly makes the frame; should not be far away but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well lately, chasing home a subsequent winner at Epsom (1m4f, good) last time; losing run is up to 17, though, so she may again find one or two too good. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last won back in September 2024 but plenty of creditable efforts since include a third in this race (good to firm) last year; tried this headgear combination when beaten less than 2l at Windsor one month ago and she's got solid each-way prospects 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. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

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 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. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her Ripon win (2m, good to firm) last August but she's not made an impact in six runs this season; wasn't far behind Le Rouge Chinois at Yarmouth (1m6f) last time but she needs to find more back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
An infrequent winner but hasn't had a lot of racing since defying an 8lb higher mark over 2m at Ripon last August (good to firm); ran poorly when tried in blinkers once before (usually sports cheekpieces); Saffie Osborne rides but this filly has some questions to answer at present. |

10/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
15-race maiden who has been out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat this year; hasn't been with Tony Carroll for long but he was beaten 8l in a classified event at Brighton (1m2f) last week and others are preferred; stablemate of Masqool. |
8/1 |

4th 4 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

0-14 under rules and has been out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat this year for Joe Ponting; makes his debut for shrewd yard but hard to make a case for. |

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. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark and beaten a neck at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) two runs back, form that has worked out well; poor last time over an extended 1m3f but that trip seems too far. |

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. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

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. |

8th 10 (9) |
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. |
