24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goodwood/Lingfield winner who's been running well all summer without looking to have anything in hand off this mark, latterly when splitting a couple of subsequent winners over C&D early last month; looks set to go well again. |
10/1 |

Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Took 17 runs to gain a first win, over 1m2f here in July, but followed up in another 1m2f handicap at this track 17 days ago; up 5lb but latest runner-up has gone in since, so he's not taken at all lightly in his hat-trick bid. |

1st 1 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed when making all and winning easily at the 17th attempt over C&D (good to firm) this month; up 7lb, but a chance he may enjoy his own way again so could be hard to catch if he does. |

Competitive without winning for James Tate, whom she left for 6,000gns; ran well on her previous visit to this track and not without hope. |

Reliable maiden and not discredited despite beating one when fifth in 1m4f Leicester handicap last month, set plenty to do in a steadily-run race; not out of things for her in-form yard. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark, tongue tied for the first time, at Kempton (1m) last April but he's struggled in three starts since returning from a 400-day absence; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |
|
11th 2 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark with tongue-tie added at Kempton (1m, AW) in April 2025, but he had a long spell on the sidelines before finishing tailed off in two runs this summer; still has low-mileage but he needs a revival. |

10st 10lb |
Won over this trip for today's rider at Newbury last June (good to firm); rather inconsistent since, but fine second to an in-form rival at Chepstow last time (1m2f, good to soft; The Pug just behind in third); a possible off current good mark. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Third of nine over this C&D last October when trained by Michael Keady but he beat only one rival home here over 1m2f on his stable debut nine days ago and his record now reads 0-18; drops back in trip with a visor added. |
12/1 |

11th 1 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-17 and unplaced in his last three starts off this mark; returns to his former trainer after 228 days off; market should be revealing. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Both wins came when trained in Ireland in 2023; has made the frame in five of his last six races; returning cheekpieces replace visor but losing run is mounting up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to add to his two Irish wins in 2023 but has performed well twice this month, finishing second in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) and fourth in classified race here (1m4f); this drop back in trip ought to suit; probably won't be far away. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Has made the frame on several occasions but remains a 19-race maiden; her mark continues to fall and she should find one of these soon. |

|
4th 7 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

18-race maiden; some fair form this season, including when second at Chepstow two runs back; handles these conditions and has an each-way chance. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
All four wins have been for previous trainers; hasn't yet gone forward from his opening third at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) in June for this yard. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
1m2f turf winner (good) who has won over 1m3f on AW; holds place claims if back to the form of his third at Chepstow (on stable debut) in June. |
9/1 |
Betting Forcast
5/1 Bownder, 3/1 Divot, 14/1 Kurios Lady, 9/1 Norflondonforever, 16/1 Imperial Decision, 100/30 Alazwar, 10/1 Warrnambool, 6/1 Wrist Art, 10/1 Little She, 25/1 The Pug
Verdict
Under a notable booking back down in distance, there’s a particularly good case to be made for DIVOT (nap) who has been successful in his last two attempts over 1m2f and whose rider Henry Callan has an impressive strike-rate. Solid-looking Bownder is second pick, ahead of Norflondonforever who is still reasonably unexposed in AW handicaps. The two last-time winners are likely to remain competitive.[Steve Boow]
