31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |

Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has been given time and he showed the benefit when, despite hanging into Arcturus Flame, he won with a little in hand on handicap debut at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good to firm) recently; up 4lb and although there's little between him and the runner-up on these terms, he looks likely to go on from that and has a good chance of staying further. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Australia gelding who has shown promise on each of his three runs, still looking inexperienced when fourth of seven in a 1m2f Salisbury maiden in June; that form has worked out well and he rates an interesting handicap debutant with this longer trip also a plus. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won at Salisbury (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m6f, both on good to firm) last summer, but she reappeared with a laboured effort at Ascot (1m2f) in May; has bit to prove after another break and she seems more potent at longer trips. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second win for Stuart Williams when getting up on the line over 1m6f at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; not seen since, though, and possibly best watched racing short of 1m3f for the first time on her return. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Reeled off four straight hurdle wins last summer before losing his way; switched to the Flat this summer and he's now 3-3 in Flat handicaps, having won on good to firm at Thirsk (1m4f), Lingfield (1m6f) and Nottingham (1m6f) in the space of a week last month; the last of those wins was much more hard fought, by a neck, and he's another 3lb higher today but 2m+ is plausible and he might yet do better still. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Reeled off four straight hurdle wins last summer before losing his way; minor form when qualifying for a mark on the Flat since but he's proved well ahead of it since handicapping with cheekpieces refitted, winning by 6l at Thirsk (1m4f) and Lingfield (1m6f; both good to firm); 3lb well in under big penalty; major claims. |

9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; the runner-up has won since and he has good claims in his bid for the hat-trick, with the return to 2m no problem having finished second over this C&D in January. |

9st 9lb |
Best form and all three wins on the AW, at 1m3f and 2m; just 0-6 on turf but he does act on the surface and any rain would be helpful; however, he'll need to be at his very best, if not better, to win this. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressed well in 2025 when a dual C&D winner; shaped encouragingly after six months off when fourth of five in 2m Goodwood handicap on his return in May; sort to do well again this season, so he's a big player eased 1lb. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Steadily progressive stepping up in trip and got off the mark at the fifth attempt, at Sandown (1m6f, good) in June; wasn't able to handle the step up in class at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month when fifth of seven but holds obvious claims back on AW at this level. |
100/30 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Carries his head high; 7l fourth of 14 to Arc Ole Ole at York (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; bettered that form when staying on best to win a four-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, good) three weeks ago, but 3lb higher today and his sights are raised. |

Not that threatening in his qualifying races (1m1f-1m2f) but showed ability and the potential is there to improve for a gelding operation; also hooded for this handicap debut; market helpful. |
