31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |

7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely. |

8st 10lb |
Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too. |

Infrequent winner; some promise in the spring but she's gone off the boil more recently; down in the weights but with good reason; cheekpieces now reached for. |

Dual course winner; not firing on all cylinders this season but wasn't beaten far in stronger race than this at Newbury (5f, good) two starts ago and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when a fading eighth over C&D last week; could have a say. |

Four-race maiden who was fourth of eight on handicap debut here (5f, AW) 11 days ago but he caught the eye with his late headway and could be dangerous in this step back up in trip; one to keep an eye on. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |
4/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |
