14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all for clearcut success on handicap debut here (9.4f) in January and came second on both subsequent AW starts (9.4f/1m4f); absent since lesser effort on turf two months ago and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but this return to Tapeta is sure to suit and she remains unexposed over the trip. |

Improved with the switch to handicaps and AW with a win at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in January and seconds there and at Lingfield (1m4f) this spring; player if that form is transferred to turf. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
On same mark as when dead-heating at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last April but he's 0-15 since; finished runner-up in a big field at Newbury (1m4f, good) in May but he's hard to predict and was never involved at Ascot last time; comes with risks attached. |
5/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Last won when sharing the spoils at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April 2025; close second of 15 at Newbury (1m4f, good) in May was his best show this season and he acts on good to firm, but others are preferred for win purposes; this is a very rare run in headgear. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |

8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when beginning this season with 1m4f AW win in April but looked out of sorts on last two outings; swapped usual cheekpieces for new visor last time; goes without any headgear today. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins from 19 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Lingfield in April off a mark 2lb lower than today's; however, he was disappointing back on turf at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month and needs to bounce back; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |

9st 8lb |
Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade. |
9/1 |

9th 12 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
2-13, his latest success coming off this mark at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; off seven months but has gone well fresh before; each-way possibilities. |

10st 2lb |
Five-time course winner (1m-1m3f) who gained his third success on turf when winning under Billy Loughnane at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June; can't be dismissed back on the AW off this 2lb higher mark. |
9/4 |

1st 2 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
7-32 on the AW and 2-19 on turf, but he has performed well on grass in his last two starts, latterly over 1m2f at Yarmouth where he didn't get the clearest of runs; respected. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Very consistent in turf handicaps at up to 1m4f, winning once and runner-up on four other occasions; offered enough to think he's still in form when 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m2f) three weeks ago; showed promise on AW at start of his career; ought to be on the premises again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 3yo who ran well again in defeat when tried over 1m4f at Thirsk last week; won't mind returning to 1m2f but he's clearly handicapped about right. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
12-race maiden but he ran well with a tongue-tie added when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he could go well again off the same mark. |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
7/2 Rose Cotton, 6/1 Patrol, 7/1 Triple Double A, 11/2 Twilight Moon, 7/1 Moonjid, 12/1 Something Splendid, 5/1 Solanna, 10/1 Arundel, 12/1 Man Of Desert
Verdict
It’s hard to build a watertight case for any of these but TWILIGHT MOON arguably ran better than the bare form suggests when third of five at Epsom last month and, with headgear refitted, she might be the answer. Something Splendid (second choice) will be suited by the forecast rain and is a more speculative alternative to consider, while Triple Double A will a appreciate this ease in grade and Rose Cotton has claims if able to transfer her AW form to turf.[Chris Wilson]
