14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
1-16, the win coming at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; not far behind a couple of these when third of nine over C&D three weeks ago and would have gone even closer with a clear run; has since left Tony Carroll but still respected if things pan out more kindly. |
5/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at Yarmouth (5f) in August and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good third of seven under a 5lb penalty at Brighton (6f) 17 days ago; a player off a 2lb lower mark here. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins have been over 5f on AW, two over today's course; hasn't fired on his last two starts and down to a career-low mark; has another change of headgear and other runners are more persuasive. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a classified stakes and a Yarmouth handicap (both over 5f on good to firm) earlier in the summer; not so good last time (6f); all four wins have been on AW, including over C&D; should go well. |
6/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; beaten favourite in two 5f handicaps on fast ground this summer but he has still run with credit; stays 6f but still seeking a first win at the trip. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up over 5f here 11 days ago, beaten just over 2l; not quite at the same level here (again 5f) on Thursday; return to 6f will suit though. |
4/1 |

Seven-time winner but the last of them was back in May 2025; didn't run badly in a smallf-field C&D handicap nine days ago but more will be required this time. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Nothing like the force of old but rediscovered some form and ran well from the front when close third in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if in similar mood again here. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
22-race maiden; conditions no problem but excuses are wearing thin and minor money perhaps her best hope. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive maiden who finished well down the field in recent starts and needs to show more. |

|
5th 6 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |

Regressive maiden who finished well down the field at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) on latest outing two months ago; needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to show any worthwhile form after six starts (6f-1m); dropped in trip and fitted with a tongue-tie today. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Poor form in five starts, including in two handicaps (6f/7f); absent for 254 days and much better is needed. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Poor form in four starts, including his handicap debut (6f, good to firm) in May; gelded since; plenty to prove. |
