1st 6 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Largely consistent 4yo who came from off the pace to win at Brighton (1m, good) in June; can be excused his recent defeat there (eased when denied clear run) but he's still on a fairly tough mark and this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
16/1 |

9th 8 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Largely consistent 4yo who came from off the pace to score over C&D (good) in June; below form at Epsom since, though, and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 4yo who won over C&D (good) last summer and came from off the pace to double his tally at Brighton (1m, good) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but ought to be on the premises. |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |
20/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost. |

3rd 8 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained her breakthrough when dropped to 6f (from 8.3f) at Newmarket (good to firm) in June and ran at least as well when running-on third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month; slightly disappointing on latest outing but still considered on this move back up to 7f. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when third at Leicester last time but she finished well and that was an eye-catching effort; still unexposed as a sprint handicapper and has claims if she gets a good pace to aim at. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Benefitted from the return to sprinting when popping up in a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago; that effort is backed up by the Topspeed figure and she is a key player despite a 4lb rise. |

4th 9 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Appreciated ease in grade and justified favouritism when scoring over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago, his ninth start; subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and further progress is possible; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden who made the running on first three starts this term but switched to trying to come from the rear when hooded on both since; Newmarket latest (7f, good to firm; 40-1) was a positive performance as he seemed to be gathering momentum in the closing stages and was beaten just 2l in sixth of 11; dropped 2lb today and everything may well click into place soon. |
5/2 |
|
6th 11 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
It's possible that 7f on fast ground will represent his ideal conditions, and he's not had that combination in any of his four handicap starts this season; goes back up in trip today but from 2lb out of the handicap and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago, opening his account at the 12th attempt; subsequent 3lb rise does not look excessive and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but he has shown winning potential and he wasn't beaten far over C&D two weeks ago; another bold bid expected. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Probably started handicap life on a demanding mark and he'd dropped 10lb before going down by just under 2l when fifth of 15 at Doncaster (7f, good) in first-time blinkers on latest outing; hit the front over 1f out that day but wandered under pressure; needs to see it out better. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-7 for new stable this season; outran 28-1 odds when placed at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and is now 4lb below that mark but his more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when third at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; however, a lesser run followed at Ascot (7f, good to firm) and he's unproven at 1m. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Generally disappointing this season but seemingly aided by cheekpieces on last two outings, more recently when fourth of nine at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month; another 2lb lower here; each-way claims if he responds well to the new blinkers. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was 1-16 when winning a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW); hasn't kicked on from there and yet to get overly competitive in handicaps. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
1-16 shot when he won a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW) but he hasn't kicked on in three handicaps subsequently and it was a heavy defeat at Newbury 19 days ago; drop in grade with first-time cheekpieces the straws to clutch at. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |
10/1 |
|
11th 12 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well-bred 5yo; showed promise as a 2yo for Richard Hannon (three runs; 6f-1m) but makes stable/handicap debut after mammoth 1,059-day absence; market helpful. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well bred; showed some ability on good to soft at Glorious Goodwood (6f; better form) and Newbury (1m) but a good deal more is needed to mix it with the best of today's rivals. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
18th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed signs of ability with his midfield finish in maiden at Glorious Goodwood, while appearing to find 6f too sharp (backed up by pedigree); open to improvement over this longer distance on second run. |
9/1 |
