6th 2 (5) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

2nd 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |

3rd 6 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who advanced her form when making all in two 5f handicaps (Lingfield and Thirsk) on fast ground in July on her third and fourth starts this term; good second on Lingfield AW nine days ago; the latter win was under Poppy Scott who is now back on board; drawn to attack from stall 1 and should go well. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark with an emphatic win on turf here (5f, good to firm) last month and she defied a penalty when making all at Thirsk nine days later; that was a narrow success last time but a 3lb rise looks fair enough and she's a big player again back on AW. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins, including when scrambling home by a nose over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; slowly away (under a 6lb penalty) when fifth to Nzuri over C&D (7-2) last week; it isn't impossible (with this better draw) that he'll be closer this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (8) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He was recording his third course win when scrambling home over C&D last week; can win more races but he's effectively 6lb higher today and this will demand more. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed his second win at this track, over today's distance, in June off 1lb lower; has acquitted himself well since and his second at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last Tuesday suggests his turn is near once again. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A neck winner at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) and although only sixth at Windsor behind Distant Rumble, that trip of 6f stretches her. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Snapped a losing run when a neck winner at Goodwood (5f, soft), beating a reliable yardstick; realistically treated under a penalty but has never won over quite this far. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Over two years since her last win but it came over C&D and off a 4lb higher mark; hit and miss in 2026 and others have more appealing claims. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Windsor in the summer and again sat on the pace when winning from the same draw over C&D three weeks ago (hung left as usual); settled better without the cheekpieces that night and has claims but a 7lb rise looks plenty. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Windsor off 2lb lower in July, before going off too hard in front at the same course next time; cheekpieces have helped but there's other pace in here from a wide enough stall on his Tapeta debut. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11th race brought his first win, when making all from stall 5 in 11-runner race over C&D (good to firm; at 11-1) three weeks ago under Taryn Langley; back up 3lb but inconsistency is the chief worry. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins over 5f on various ground on turf, the latest when beating three rivals in an apprentice handicap at Chepstow in July; form has regressed in three starts since so needs the return to Class 6 company to bring about a resurgence. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner last July, but he's yet to fire this season and came in last of eight at Newcastle (5f) last time; tongue-tie goes on now with lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |

Five runs for this yard between 5f and 1m and she was back at this trip when last of nine at Windsor one month ago; 3lb drop doesn't look enough. |
40/1 |
|
9th 8 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Modest maiden after six races; down the field in her first two handicaps (5f/6f); better when third of six at Yarmouth on latest start, despite it looking as if she did not stay 1m; either way, she still needs better. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well down the field in her first two handicaps (5f/6f) but moves back up in trip and drops in grade here; still unexposed; worth a glance in the betting. |
