23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) and Brighton (7f, good to firm) this summer then runner-up at Brighton (7f, good) when bidding for a hat-trick; he's back into a bigger field today but ran well in such a scenario at Ascot in May and this in-form contender might have a part to play. |

2nd 1 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable 5yo who was too strong for Dion Baker here last month and now bids for a hat-trick off 4lb higher; solid chance. |
6/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The fitting of cheekpieces saw her get off the mark for the season at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July; finished second in two of her four runs since, including when blinkers (retained) were given a go at Brighton 19 days ago; tongue-tie now enlisted. |

2nd 7 (8) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed 9yo but in a consistent run of form and bang there on good to soft and good in his last two races; go back far enough and he has competitive form on soft. |
5/2 |

3rd 7 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran who arrives in good form, most recently finishing second of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago; each-way shout off the same mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best known as a Chepstow regular; yet to win this season but she's largely consistent and handles any ground; can make her presence felt under Oisin Murphy. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

6f winner on turf and over 5f on the AW; has never been lower in the weights and ran okay in a classified last time. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f AW scorer in 2025; has twice failed to build on an encouraging reappearance fifth at Windsor though, soon ridden when fifth of seven in 6f Chepstow handicap last month; lots more is needed. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |
20/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice on the AW over 6f last December, the most recent coming off a mark 6lb higher than today's, but he hasn't been at his best in recent starts; tries 7f for just the third time with a visor now added. |
20/1 |

10th 12 (6) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on AW at the end of 2025, winning twice on AW; well handicapped on that form but his three turf runs this summer have been underwhelming; market can guide as to whether a revival is expected. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seems happiest on Tapeta, albeit he's a course winner, and has still to prove he's up to this mark on turf; two poor efforts this summer, after a break, leave him some way down the pecking order. |
