22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Probably acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; reliable 7yo who's never been better than this season (1m2f-2m); also seems to have found his limits but perhaps a handicap such as this will suit him better than the much smaller-field Group/Listed race's he's contested on last three starts. |
40/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Six-time winner on the Flat over shorter trips than this (1m1f-1m4f), including at this track in 2023; beaten about 5l when fifth of seven in a Group 3 over this C&D in May (behind Lazy Griff and ahead of Furthur and Duke Of Oxford) but that was steadily run and he didn't fully prove his stamina; stable won this with Trueshan in 2024 but this 7yo has a bit to find to reverse placings with Lazy Griff. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Disappointed when last in action and remains on a losing streak but competes off new career-low mark here and will be suited by the trip-and-surface combination; hooded for first time; can't be ruled out. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No win since taking a Class 2 at Sandown (1m2f) in July 2023; kicked off 2025 with a pleasing AW effort at Newcastle (runner-up from 4lb higher) but unable to build positively on that since; latest 1m4f Ripon third (Haptics sixth) respectable but the wait for another win may go on. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

4lb lower than when winning over this trip at Sandown (good to firm) last summer, but heavy defeats in his last four outings leave him with plenty to prove. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful form in two 1m2f handicaps in September 2021 (on good to firm and good); absent 608 days and gelded before two respectable runs this season but he was about 6l behind Paradias and Lord Protector in the latter and needs a return to his peak form now he's tongue tied first time. |
13/2 |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Useful form in two 1m2f handicaps in September 2021, one on good to firm; absent 608 days and gelded; 5-1, respectable sixth of 13 at York on reappearance four weeks ago and, if building on that, this very lightly raced 5yo could have a big shout. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Multiple winner down the years, including at this track, and all ground seems to come alike to him; dropping back into Class 4 will help but his stamina has to be taken on trust. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who won two in a row at Lingfield (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm) and maybe went off too hard when well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; has won here twice and he might not be far away if bouncing back. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won this in 2021 and was third in one of the divisions 12 months ago; returns off a 6lb higher mark than last year but on the back of two wins at Lingfield, the latest narrowly from the front off 3lb lower; thriving 9yo who must have some sort of chance. |

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 |

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. |
9/2 |
|
9th 5 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's been placed in all three runs this season including close calls over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (1m2f, good); remains well handicapped on his old form and he should make another bold bid. |

8st 9lb |
Three-time winner here, two over this trip the latest of which came last month; finished behind Revelance and Nakaaha when third of seven back here last time, but lost more ground at the start than she was beaten by; has winning form on soft ground and of interest; stable also runs Auburn Avenue. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |

Was back off her last winning mark when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) ten days ago, doing very well to go so close following a poor start; should be bang there granted a cleaner break this time; stable also runs Nammos. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

6th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ex-Gosden gelding whose standout run for this yard was his narrow defeat over 1m here in April; recent efforts not good enough but always a chance that blinkers could trigger something. |

23rd Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Standout run for current yard (is ex-Gosden) when going down by a neck over C&D in April; is hard to fancy on what we've seen of late even allowing for 1m2f stretching him the last twice; cheekpieces removed. |

15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Impressed in novice events (1m/1m2f, AW/good) on first two starts and bounced back from two disappointing runs (1m2f, soft/good to firm) when easily making all at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; capitalised on an easy lead last time but this very lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer now things have clicked again, and he's ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Impressed in novice events on first two starts, latterly over 1m2f on good at Epsom last September; however, well beaten in Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October and tenth of 13 in handicap at York (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; he was favourite in the latter, following wind surgery and with his tongue tied, but weakened in the final 2f; questions to answer. |
