19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Tremendous servant with 11 wins for his current yard and three for his previous stable; usually runs over 5f but has won over C&D; finds it tough on the top tracks nowadays but was runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and looks on a workable mark. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of short-priced defeats this year, often for Oisin Murphy; no question he's fairly handicapped back on the AW (goes well here) but he's become something of a professional loser. |
5/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win of the year but he has run some good races, including a second of seven at Sandown on penultimate start; Ryan Moore booked but others may have this 6yo's measure. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

With only one win (last November) in more than two years and not being so good this season, he is some way down the pecking order. |

19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Gained his fifth success when winning here on soft ground in June off the same mark as today but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since; each-way contender if back to best. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Ended long losing run with soft-ground C&D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away. |

Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |

Won two of her first four starts but her progress has stalled since a Lingfield handicap win in April (6f, AW); others look safer now she returns to turf. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Can lead; the most recent of her seven wins came on the AW at Lingfield last November and she's finished runner-up three times this year, including when 1l behind a subsequent winner three weeks ago; can go well. |
11/2 |

2nd 7 (2) |

Six-time turf winner; placed a few times since returned to that sphere; only 1-16 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off 3lb higher); in form and has a fighting chance. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f AW winner who is 0-16 on turf, where his better efforts have been on slow ground; AW form has tailed off recently and he looks in need of a revivial if he's to break his turf duck. |
10/1 |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four wins on AW over 6f, including here; two solid seconds at Kempton this year and his last run there (over 7f) can be forgiven; remains favourably treated. |
