1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Has form at Salisbury but has never won away from Bath; disappointing back there in the latest outing of her light 2026 campaign; this regular slow-starter doesn't look the percentage call. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Could do with slower ground ideally but one of five course wins came in this 12 months ago and she has won on good ground; back here, has to merit attention. |

Ended a run of poor efforts with success in 1m handicap at Ffos Las eight days ago; this C&D winner needs to back it up now under a 4lb penalty. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Safely held on all three starts since returning from a break in June but has slipped to a very good mark and was a three-time winner on soft/heavy ground in 2024; must be considered now that conditions are in his favour again. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Missed the whole of 2023 but has been consistent in handicaps since last summer; didn't enjoy a clear run when third of six over C&D last month, but was still well held and that didn't really prove her stamina. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
22nd Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced for her age; proving consistent for this yard, again making the frame when fourth of seven over 9.4f here in January; chance hinges on her staying this much longer trip (some encouragement from pedigree). |

Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

10th 9 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

9st 11lb |
Well-related ex-Gosden maiden who's gone as far as 1m4f and been expensive to follow; didn't improve for the drop back to this trip last time but the handicapper's given him every chance on his AW debut. |

6th 8 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

10st 0lb |
Two 1m wins this year at Sandown and Epsom, the latest by 5l earlier this month; reappeared only four days later when below par at Windsor and finishing behind Newfangled; that was under a penalty and now 2lb higher. |
13/2 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Versatile ground-wise and has won one of just two C&D starts; in good form this year, adding to an earlier Sandown win (good to firm) with a powerful display at Epsom (about 1m, good to soft) on Thursday; likely to give a good show under penalty with Billy Loughnane up for the first time. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well for second at Brighton on his reappearance in June and went one better at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; disappointed next time but quickly bounced back at Brighton two days later; can be slowly away so needs things to drop right. |

On a losing run but he has dropped to a basement mark and he was running on well when fourth behind the front-running Aspire To Glory over C&D 15 days ago; drawn widest this time and may find one or two stronger. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

4th 6 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Never really got competitive at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and remains without a win this season but went close off 3lb higher at Chepstow (7f, good) in June and 1m also suits; worth a glance in the betting. |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |
