6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two Sandown wins under David Dunsdon in 2025, including this race on good (other win on good to firm); back on form returned to turf and reunited with his owner/rider when seeing off seven rivals at Goodwood (1m, soft) eight weeks ago; raised 6lb but his good record in these races affords him plenty of respect. |

10st 6lb |
Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |
6/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

3rd 1 (5) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her front-running win at Newmarket (1m, good) last October, but she's been out of sorts this season and was last of six at Windsor last time; has something to prove and needs reapplied blinkers to make a difference back at this trip. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to be suited by combination of drop back in trip and return to turf, but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
He had finished second on three consecutive occasions (twice here over 7f) prior to his Newmarket win (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; a 5lb rise against stronger opposition may find him out. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but he's finished runner-up on his last three outings, including when dropped back to 6f here (good to firm) last Friday; races from the same mark and this previous course winner looks sure to be involved. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but his turn looks near, having finished second at Ascot (good to firm) the last twice; successful on both Newmarket tracks and the way he races suggests this drop back to 6f is worth exploring; respected. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three fair efforts since returned to turf; two Wolverhampton wins early in the year came off lower marks in blinkers and he'll need a career-best to take this stepping back up from 1m. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Had an excellent spell last autumn, winning two of his final three starts at 1m (good and heavy); needed further progress to win the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March and that didn't happen but he ran well for a long way; can be more of a factor under Brodie Hampson who won this last year. |
5/2 |

9th 8 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
1st 11 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last autumn (including heavy-ground win) and back to form with a 1m Windsor success (good) in September; only a respectable fourth at Nottingham (good to soft) since, though. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins at 1m, the latest in February, but it's over two years since he achieved anything on turf and that was in a maiden; up against it. |
33/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Up and down on AW since these aids were fitted at the start of 2026, winning at Kempton and back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Lingfield in May (both 1m); no good thing to improve on poor efforts in two previous turf handicaps last year. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Responded well to the fitting of a visor when winning easily on his Kempton return (1m, Polytrack) in February, but twice disappointing since and still 7lb higher; enough to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, most recently off 2lb higher last November; however, last few efforts leave a doubt over his current form; this 8yo needs to prove resurgent. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Can lead; all eight wins on the AW, five over this C&D; faded into midfield having been drawn wide here in May and soft ground can be given as an excuse for failing to beat a rival at Goodwood (1m) two months ago; could go well back on this surface. |
