19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reinvigorated by a visor this summer, winning three times (5f) and only narrowly denied in the Portland at Doncaster last week; his form claims are there for all to see but whether a stiff 6f on slow ground is really what he needs is a moot point. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a visor has had a galvanising effect this summer and he has won three of his last four starts, the latest a cheeky win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good); this intermediate trip shouldn't pose any problems and going back up 4lb is manageable; tops the list. |
13/2 |
|
1st 12 (19) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Classy sprinter back in the day and the new visor has been floating his boat with recent form figures of 121 in 5f handicaps, latterly getting up in the nick of time at Newmarket; only 3lb higher and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit; finished fifth in last year's Stewards' Cup, faring best in his group; firmly in calculations. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two fine runs at Sandown this season and when disappointing at Haydock last time there was a valid excuse (blindfold off late and stumbled at the start before racing furthest from the stands' rail); now 2lb higher but not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Bath winner in May (5f, good); plenty of sound runs since, including when runner-up at Goodwood last time (5f, soft); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Reliable sprinter who has been placed several times since her Bath win in May; back to that winning mark now and Oisin Murphy is booked; solid claims. |

|
2nd 6 (3) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Regularly performed well since her Bath win in May; not got much in hand of this mark but still likely to be on the premises. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He can be awkward at the start but he won at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June and has run well in defeat on two of his three starts since, most recently runner-up at Kempton (6f, AW); could be in the mix. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of ability, as evidenced by his smooth win at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June, but he does himself few favours at the start; wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest 5f run, when making the running, and he is greatly respected back at 6f and in a Class 5. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Came from the rear to score at Newbury last month and was placed off today's mark at Epsom (also 6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; can probably cope with this drop back to a stiff 5f but he'll need some luck from stall 1 and his tendency to start slowly is also a worry. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Often front runs; both wins have been here, the latest in April when 2lb higher; returns to a more suitable level after running in Class 4s. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with a Bath win and began this campaign with another win at that track; well held at the Glorious meeting here 30 days ago and she is unlikely to enjoy a soft lead here. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (19) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all off today's mark on seasonal debut at Bath (5.7f, firm) in April; one of best runs since when 2l second of eight at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Just 1-19 but 2lb below his winning mark and drops into Class 6 company for the first time; worth a second look especially if attracting support; blinkers removed after one use. |
9/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just the one win to his name from 18 attempts but it came off this mark; poor run at Epsom two weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should be more suitable; the addition of blinkers could give him the necessary lift. |
10/1 |
