4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning a steadily-run race at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month, making virtually all; back up 3lb in this higher grade but has claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A beaten favourite in his last two races, going down by 4l over C&D (soft) and then 6l over 1m4f on the AW; probably has a race in him off this mark given he's still lightly raced and cheekpieces go on. |
5/2 |

Edging down the weights and this six-race maiden has taken minor honours in his three handicaps (two 1m6f and one at 1m2f); first of those was on Wolverhampton Tapeta; considered. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, including twice abroad; placed in all three starts since rejoining Mick Appleby and should go well again with no questions over his stamina. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Back with his old yard following a spell in France and has run a couple of solid races in defeat for them off a career-low mark, albeit he's enjoyed the run of things each time; boasts a patchy record round here but enters calculations. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Rejoined Mick Appleby before reappearing with a good second at Yarmouth (1m6f, good) 12 days ago; has a patchy profile but he's on the same mark as last time and his last win was over nearly 2m in France (AW) in March; respected with Oisin Murphy booked. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a classified event at Yarmouth (about 1m4f) in July and he's been in the first three in each of his four starts since, including when beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good) nine days ago; consistent sort and he remains of interest. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Only win came in a classified race in July; struggles to convert his chances but consistent at this level and was given a bit to do last time here. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Got off the mark when landing a classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) last month; third when favourite back in handicaps at Yarmouth and Windsor this month and should give another good account. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success in 18 starts came in a similar contest over C&D in February; twice runner-up on good to firm ground at Yarmouth (1m2f/11.5f) last month and of interest now returned here. |
11/2 |

4th 6 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten just over 2l by Highland Harvery in a classified race here last month and has a 4lb pull on that rival; however, he broke slowly at Nottingham last time in another classified contest and never counted. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (Jack Nicholls aboard); had struggled thereafter until springing a 33-1 surprise on AW at Lingfield (2m; from 3lb lower) a fortnight ago; no issues with good to soft/soft, so she has to enter the reckoning. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her Ripon win (2m, good to firm) last August but she's not made an impact in six runs this season; wasn't far behind Le Rouge Chinois at Yarmouth (1m6f) last time but she needs to find more back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
An infrequent winner but hasn't had a lot of racing since defying an 8lb higher mark over 2m at Ripon last August (good to firm); ran poorly when tried in blinkers once before (usually sports cheekpieces); Saffie Osborne rides but this filly has some questions to answer at present. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) last autumn and he had a close call at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down since and was only fourth of five at Lingfield last time; others preferred. |

4th 5 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Defied this mark at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last autumn and he had a close call over C&D in January; only sixth of seven on recent Yarmouth reappearance but that wasn't a bad effort and he ties in with two of today's rivals on that form; not ruled out back up in trip. |
15/2 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten over 1m3f at Windsor last August and otherwise confined to the AW; a winner on Tapeta (1m6f; 2lb lower) and was running well back in the spring; hard to discount. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer and she got back on track with a close fourth at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; this is a different test but she's versatile ground-wise and has form at up to 2m; in the mix. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer, but she's been out of sorts in last four runs and was beaten 11l at Yarmouth last time; has something to prove and she needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
An 8yo who hasn't been at her best of late, on slow and fast ground; however, very capable off this sort of mark if staging a revival. |
