23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Should be well handicapped but his two runs for his current stable have resulted in heavy defeats; cheekpieces tried for a second time (well beaten on the occasion they were tried). |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time turf winner who posted two AW wins in autumn 2024 off higher marks than today's; lightly raced since, however, with patchy form, and others have more obvious claims. |

9st 6lb |
Seven-time winner when trained by Rae Guest and posted respectable efforts on the AW over 1m2f in two of his three outings for Edward Smyth-Osbourne; has been off since January and drops back in trip on his first start for this yard. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Several good runs in Class 6 turf events this summer, winning at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; not at her best last time and others look stronger. |
10/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had been threatening for a while before winning for Taryn Langley over 7f here, back in the cheekpieces, off 4lb lower 11 days ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark but the extra furlong's fine round a course she likes, and she's a player. |
7/1 |
|
3 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here (good to firm) last month and went down fighting when very close second to Romanovich over C&D (good) a fortnight later; wears headgear for first time since 2023; likely to make her presence felt again. |

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 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
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. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
C&D winner; two solid efforts over C&D this year and he won a 1m4f handicap at Kempton in April; last of four over C&D (Dubai Immo third) under Guy Mitchell 21 days ago, but that was a messy affair and this bigger field should help; chance. |

9st 6lb |
Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but well held in both runs for this yard; ran into some trouble at Wolverhampton last time but still 3lb higher than for her last win and others are preferred; blinkers removed. |

Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but she made a low-key start for this yard at Kempton ten days ago; that was after a short break but her three AW wins have all been in Class 6 events and she could be vulnerable again at this new trip. |

9st 9lb |
C&D novice winner in 2023 and he made a winning start for this stable at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; respected following a 3lb rise with the visor now replacing cheekpieces. |
5/4 |
|
7 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Winless since landing a 1m novice on Newcastle AW in 2023 but the pick of his Tapeta handicap form since shows he's well treated on yard debut; left the Barrons for £11,000 since last seen; likely to be dangerous if taking to Polytrack. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Handy sort who won twice here last month, taking his C&D record to 3-3; only beat one home at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) eight days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove given he handles a soft surface on turf. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who completed a double when battling well at Southwell (7f) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he has plenty of placed form in this sphere and is only 2lb higher than last time; could be a big factor again and any rain would be a bonus. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by this surface and his rivals never really got a look in when he made all here three weeks ago, taking his record to 2-2 over C&D; has gone back up 7lb but he's only just above his winning mark on Kempton AW last June and has another good run in him. |
