23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well for second over C&D on his seasonal return in June and went one better at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 31 days ago; found little off the bridle when well beaten at Salisbury on Friday; would have a point to prove if turned out quickly. |

Returned from seven months off with a good second at Brighton and went one better at Sandown four weeks ago (both 1m on good to firm); 4lb rise manageable and Simon Walker a positive booking. |

Patchy campaign last season but he's 2lb lower than when winning at Newbury (1m, good) last May and reappeared with a good second at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; in the mix if backing that up. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Issues at the start and with pulling hard in early runs and has been expensive to follow, going backwards since entering handicaps; didn't see out 1m2f on rain-softened ground last time but is running out of excuses. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability in his last three starts and did well to finish third of ten on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good to soft) last time given that he didn't enjoy a smooth trip; could make an impact on AW debut, though he could do with breaking better than he has been. |

Plenty of short-priced defeats to her name but doesn't do anything wrong and the cheekpieces have helped, with two Kempton wins from the front this summer; has a career-high mark to overcome, having gone up another 3lb for her Sandown near-miss. |

Two wins as a 3yo came over a round 1m on soft ground and she's entitled to have come on for her Ripon return seven weeks ago; one to consider. |

Both wins at 1m on soft in 2023; runner-up on two occasions last season and she was fourth of 14 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in November when last seen; has won fresh before and would appreciate any rain. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 8yo who returned from a break with two low-key runs (8.3f/7f) in June/July; should be fine over today's longer trip and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark (for today's rider); solid efforts on last three starts and he's a leading contender. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3lb higher than when winning this race last year, but is off the same mark as when following up at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) next time; looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of eight at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago and is respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |

9st 9lb |
Not very consistent, but has won nine races, eight on the AW; twice well held since winning a handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in June, but more than capable of playing a part if on a going day. |

9th 12 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Won over Newcastle's 6f in June (5lb lower) but he's very hit and miss and pulled hard when down the field at Southwell (stays 7f). |
25/1 |
|
9th 10 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won Kempton classified (7f, Polytrack) in March and, after five unplaced runs, he returned to form with convincing handicap win at 20-1 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; bang there if backing up that latest effort. |

9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Gained his last four wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m-1m2f); handles fast ground but is yet to strike form after three runs this season and might still be too high in the weights. |
