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 |

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. |

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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Consistent and likes it here; 7lb better off with Secret Handsheikh than when second to him over C&D this month but has spent most of his career running in lesser company and is currently weighted to his best; faded late over 6f here on Sunday. |
8/1 |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

2nd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away. |

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. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot. |
9/4 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Tough 5f performer, holding his form well; close third under regular rider Chloe Lyons at Windsor on Monday; should give it his best shot again. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ten of his 11 wins have come over C&D, the latest in March off a 1lb higher mark; happiest when making the running and there could be some competition for that role in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |

Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive sort who notched a third victory of 2026 at Lingfield (5f) in June; went very freely from widest draw and did well in circumstances when fifth of 13 in 6f Windsor handicap last time; a player eased 1lb. |
11/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoying an excellent season since switching to Adam Kirby and notched a third success at Lingfield (5f) in June; nearest finish after a slow start when a good fifth of 12 in 5f York handicap last time and he's a player back up in trip now. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile sort, being effective on turf/AW over distances between 5f and 7f; back to form when beaten half a length at Lingfield (5f, AW) 16 days ago (third has won since) and shortlisted from just 1lb higher. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Won three times in the second half of 2025, including here (5f); mixed bag in 2026 but he is capable at this level and shouldn't be discounted; stable also run Real Gold. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |
