15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
In-form 4yo who won at Ascot and Pontefract (both 1m, good to firm) in July; another creditable effort when third (Jungle Ruler second) at Sandown (1m, good to firm again) 17 days ago; ought to be competitive again. |

10st 4lb |
Bang-in-form 4yo who comes here after emphatic wins under Seamus Cronin at Ascot and Pontefract (both 1m, good to firm) this month; competes off career-high mark but must be considered in current mood. |

10st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 6yo who won a four-runner handicap at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month and followed up in three-runner handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last Saturday; carries 5lb penalty in a much deeper race today but he did it comfortably last time; clearly thriving; respected. |

10st 2lb |
A two-time 1m2f scorer in 2025; off six months and not disgraced despite coming in last of four in 1m2f Salisbury handicap on her return last month; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Limerick maiden winner (1m, good) for Adrian Murray last summer; having been gelded he wasn't disgraced when fourth of five on stable debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in February, but gave the impression he needed a return to further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Built on pleasing debut for Adrian Murray when sticking to the far rail and just holding on at Limerick last time (1m); offloaded by Amo Racing for just 8,000gns in his time off and gelded too; might struggle to defy a 7lb penalty. |

Beaten 1l by a fellow British-trained newcomer (who was favourite) in a 7f conditions race on soft ground at Deauville three weeks ago; difficult to get a grip on that form but the RPR of 85 was smart. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
His cosy C&D win last summer came off 2lb lower; two good runs and two lesser efforts this season; should give it a good go. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won twice last summer (1m/7f, good to firm) and it was an encouraging reappearance when third here (6f) in May; saw little daylight at Goodwood a fortnight later but he weakened when last of 11 at Doncaster (again 7f) seven weeks ago; hard to predict what he'll come up with this time. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Close third over C&D in June on second handicap start (good; Get Outta Here second) and filled the same position at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, albeit no match for the first two; he might have an each-way shout in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
AW maiden winner last year who made an encouraging handicap debut/return when fourth at Windsor (good to firm) in May; stepped up on that when close third at Goodwood (also 1m, good; Ciarrai Abu fourth) three weeks ago; winner of that race has gone in again since, as has the fifth; likely to sit handy from his low draw and enters calculations. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rallied well in first-time visor dropped back to 1m at Sandown (good to firm) last week but only fifth under a penalty at Newmarket (1m, good to firm again) on Thursday; will run off 2lb lower if turned out again quickly. |
4/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Rallied well in first-time visor dropped back to 1m at Sandown (good to firm) last week, opening his account at the seventh attempt; incurs 6lb penalty but Toby Moore takes off 7lb; may build on that win and improve further; respected in the retained headgear. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
May have needed the run when down the field on her seasonal/handicap debut in May; took a good step forward with her win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust but she still has time on her side. |

Beaten 6l when fifth of six on seasonal/handicap debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in May but might have needed the run; showed promise on final 2yo outing and she's bred to be better than this mark; interesting. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Seems best when fresh and duly ran well (close second) at Bath on seasonal debut; appeared to be a disappointing favourite at Epsom later in April but that effort is excusable with the race likely coming sooner than ideal; only attempt under Tom Marquand resulted in sole win (off current mark to boot); respected on return from 11-week break. |
13/2 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from seven months off to win this race from off the pace last year; couldn't build on that in four subsequent starts last season but was back down to that winning mark when slightly unlucky second at Bath (1m, also good) on his resumption three weeks ago; of firm interest. |
9/4 |

Verdict
Consistent since sent into handicaps and after a commendable effort at Glorious Goodwood, given how that race panned out for him, ABUNDANT gets the nod ahead of the lightly raced Cambridgeshire entry Cloud Forest. Others to consider are Accademia and the returning River Card who last year took the notable scalp of Maltese Cross.[Alistair Jones]
