7th 7 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough at the eighth attempt when surging 5l clear in apprentice handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good; 100-30 favourite) last Wednesday; this is a different test back on AW, but he escapes a penalty and is due to be 10lb higher in future; should be hard to beat if he can back up that last run. |

1st 7 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took a step in the right direction at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May and built on that when bumping into an improving rival over this C&D (soft) in June; off since that outing 71 days ago but he should still have more to offer over middle distances. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since 2023; plenty of competitive runs during his losing streak and getting back on slow ground won't inconvenience. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
His last win was in 2023 but he's generally reliable and the form of his latest third at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) has been boosted by the runner-up since; this is his first attempt beyond 1m2f but he's on a dangerous mark and has been a strong finisher in most of his runs this season; respected. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who is without a win since September 2023; has posted some solid efforts this year, including when third of five at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last month, and makes each-way appeal. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to build on his debut third of ten at Kempton (7f, AW) last August but he didn't shape badly there over 1m on his handicap debut last month; that was his first start for 258 days and this Time Test gelding could be suited by stepping up to 1m2f. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (14) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Stepping up to 1m2f saw her make the frame, though was beaten over 3l on both occasions; didn't fare so well last time at Ffos Las; needs more. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Six-race maiden but she's finished third in both starts since stepping up to 1m2f, including when ridden by Ryan Kavanagh at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago; has solid claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Five-race maiden who has shown positive signs in her two handicap attempts, keeping-on third upped to 1m2f at Sandown (good to firm) latest; progress still looks possible; enters calculations. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Nottingham (1m1f) in July; runner-up three times since, beaten a nose in handicap at Southwell (1m3f) last time; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Triple turf winner who bounced back with a creditable second behind an unexposed improver at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can repeat that latest form. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Generally progressive 3yo who held on narrowly at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) in July, his third win, and was second off today's mark at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) soon afterwards; big player if able to bounce back quickly from below-par run a fortnight ago. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seven-race maiden who has broadly failed to progress in handicaps this term, latterly in headgear; has slipped to an attractive mark based on 2yo form. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden whose best effort came when fourth of nine here over 1m4f in June (good to soft); however, he wasn't able to build on that at Southwell (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 11 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown ability, his best run when fourth of nine at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month; first-time cheekpieces are now applied and holds place claims. |
