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. |

1st 3 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Formerly high class; ended a long losing run at Sandown (5f, good) last month when visored for the first time; beaten at odds-on at Yarrmouth six days later; another 3lb higher today but not handicapped out of things. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a losing run of over four years when the well-backed winner of a 5f handicap at Sandown (good ground; visored first time) last week; still has plenty of handicapping scope given his back class and this should be run to suit him. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts and the latest defeat at Chelmsford was no backward step; however, his mark has taken a hit and this 9yo is returning from a lengthy break; fine on all ground. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Consistent 4yo who was close up in a higher grade at Sandown before another placed effort at Newbury; however, she's got the worst of the draw and is handicapped about right. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Prominent racer; off the mark for the year with a narrow win at Bath (5f, good) in May; held her form since and her latest Sandown third came in a higher grade; Ashley Lewis knows her well and she's a leading contender. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Multiple winner but went up 6lb for his 2l win at Haydock and that counted when fifth at Catterick; however, he does have a very solid record here. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Back in prime form at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month, coming from the rear to win cosily under a confident ride; quickly back up to career-high mark but still commands respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form when keeping on for fifth at Sandown (5f, good) recently and he's on a handy mark on last year's best 6f form, including a near-miss over C&D (good to firm); firmly in calculations back up in trip. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all off today's mark on seasonal debut at Bath (5.7f, firm) in April and will be fine over this slightly longer trip but doesn't always looks straightforward and needs to up her game after two below-par 5f runs. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Form dipped last time but that was out of character; consistent sort otherwise and ran respectably, when bidding for a Bath hat-trick, the time before; may rebound. |

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. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-16 but his win was over C&D (good) last summer; has been up and down this season but he had a near-miss at Goodwood in May and was a fair third on AW here last time; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Poor effort last time will need forgiving but he's always been capable of the odd stinker; better drawn than for two runs here early in the year and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-14 but he's a strong traveller who only narrowly missed out at Lingfield (6f) and Goodwood (5f, good) before a midfield finish at Windsor where never really involved; has a big effort in him. |
15/2 |
