25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Led late on when winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; best run since when third of ten at Leicester 11 days ago (5f, good to soft); more to prove back over 6f. |
10/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade. |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb
|
Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Arrives in fine form and bidding for a hat-trick following back-to-back 6f wins here, emphatically making all on latter occasion; has won over the minimum trip too so rates a big player under a 4lb penalty. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has performed well in both starts over C&D, including a game success 16 days ago (good); much more exposed than his rivals, but still high on list from 3lb higher. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Much the oldest contestant in this field, being a 9yo, and he's conceding weight all round; managed to defy top weight at Redcar on penultimate start but that was in a slightly lower grade. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five wins at 5f-7f, all on good and quicker ground; weighted to go well on the pick of his 2024 form and, following a promising reappearance, perhaps refitting a tongue-tie didn't help at Windsor since; in contention. |
16/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His last win was off 1lb higher at Goodwood (6f, good) last June; 0-9 since but he returned from wind surgery with a creditable effort at Nottingham (close fifth) 16 days ago and has possibilities if he can build on that; tongue-tie reapplied. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
His form has taken a downturn but he's dropped down the weights and there was some promise in his eighth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week in reapplied blinkers (retained), when not beaten far despite being denied a clear run; drops in grade here and could have a part to play. |
11/4 |

8th 4 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Six AW runs have yielded four wins, a second and a close fifth (stable debut after a six-month break and off a 7lb higher mark than today's); has blown hot and cold on turf since April but the blinkers worn for his last four wins now return (has raced exclusively in cheekpieces since joining Robert Cowell) and he should make a bold bid to maintain an unbeaten C&D record. |
16/1 |

15th 4 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |

Form has dipped in last two starts, taking record for current yard to 0-5; doesn't look as if he's about to prevail in this warm affair. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May 2021 (heavy); wasn't in top form last season so has dropped to a good mark but he was well beaten on soft at Haydock on reappearance. |

5th 6 (4) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
8yo who is running for the first time since last July and his losing sequence goes back ten races to May 2024; however, he went close when last seen and he's right at home on slow ground; capable of having a say. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Down in the weights and back to form when just failing to get up over 5f at Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago; put back up 3lb but retains handicapping scope on peak form and has Oisin Murphy doing the steering. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (7) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive spell culminated in a success over C&D (off 11lb higher) last July; far from consistent since but holds a good chance provided she turns up in top form. |
