29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |
|
5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both turf wins have come over C&D, the latest in May off a 1lb lower mark; disappointed at Newbury when last seen 46 days ago but he should be more potent back at this venue. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sightly disappointing after sluggish start at Newmarket this month but returned to turf with three good runs this spring, the most notable a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on second occasion; features prominently in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In good form since returning from a break, winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May before close third at Salisbury (6f, soft); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and he could be in the shake-up. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Had a purple patch during the last AW season, winning four times over 6f (twice here) when trained by Richard Hughes; has form over 5f but an extra furlong would be preferable; not shone in two runs for new stable but his handicap mark is tumbling. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f AW winner last winter for Richard Hughes; went without usual cheekpieces when a fair fourth of seven for his new handler at Lingfield (5f) 20 days ago; not out of things. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-11 on turf but finished well to snatch second in a C&D handicap (good to firm) last month; left Richard Hughes for 15,000gns since; on same mark as last time and he's a player if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces are removed. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D win last spring was the first of five victories in 2025 (this her first AW run since); arguably an unlucky loser the last twice on turf and she's only 1lb higher, so needs considering. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won five times last season, including two over C&D, latterly off an 8lb higher mark; much her best effort of the year at Salisbury last time, off the same mark behind a subsequent winner, and is shortlisted back here for the first time in a while. |
5/2 |

2nd 5 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner, more recently in this race a year ago (good to firm); has questions to answer after some below-par recent efforts but is too well handicapped to rule out. |

40/1 |

7th 10 (10) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who was last of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on his stable debut following 627 days ago; never featured over 5f at Lingfield three weeks ago but this step back up in trip may help. |

All three wins have come at this track over 7f; having dropped down the weights he made a pleasing stable debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; of interest back at Kempton and with Billy Loughnane booked. |
5/2 |

4th 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins came over 7f at Kempton AW in 2024 when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy; has had no success with Edward Smyth-Osbourne since and makes stable debut for shrewd yard off a career-low mark; market will be best guide. |
