22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
In-form 9yo whose last four runs have been over C&D; failed narrowly under a penalty two weeks ago (behind Fifty Nifty) but 1lb lower here and should be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C&D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D and latest was in a Class 4 on good to firm 13 days ago; that was a narrow success but he finished well to beat the favourite and is only 2lb higher here; respected. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle last time but she remains 4lb above the mark she defied over this trip at Leicester in June; others are more obvious. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Didn't convince with her stamina in one attempt over this trip in April; had been in good form this summer prior to a blip at Yarmouth latest; others may have greater stamina reserves. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Hold-up filly who won at Leicester in July and ran to a similar level when a close fourth at Newmarket last time (despite saddle slipping); one to consider. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Not at best on last couple of AW starts but now only 1lb higher than for soft-ground C&D win in June and will warrant serious consideration if there's significant rain. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and possible to make excuses for her two subsequent defeats; capable of playing a part in the returning blinkers if they go a good pace. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off reduced mark at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month and also ran well when third at Newmarket (5f, good) ten days later; suited by his C&D and can make her presence felt again. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate, including 0-27 on turf; would need a major pace collapse to win over this trip. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

He'd been quiet in 2024 but he attracted support dropped into a Class 6 at Chelmsford ten days ago and duly ran better, third of 11 (cheekpieces first time) from a wide stall; high on the list. |

Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |

6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
