27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack), but has also won four times on Tapeta including here; latest effort back at Kempton can be excused and he is respected from just 1lb above his last winning mark. |
10/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time AW winner and the latest three have been over C&D; has mixed record for new trainer this season but he was runner-up at Southwell last time and remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his win here in May; key player. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time AW winner who has four wins and a second to his name in five starts in 7f Tapeta handicaps; the drop back from 1m and switch from turf both look in his favour off his last winning mark. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |

Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

Made a winning reappearance in a maiden over C&D in May and added a narrow success in a handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in July; looked a non-stayer at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time, but worth a second look back at this trip after a short break. |

Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with his recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell, the latest a 7f Racing League Handicap; stays this far and can again make presence felt. |

5th 8 (1) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Behind a couple of these over C&D last month but he signalled he was ready to strike when second at Kempton two weeks ago, coming from well back having been dropped in from a wide stall; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold showing. |

9st 9lb |
Showed ability when fourth in her first two starts last year and had little trouble in beating three rivals in a weak Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) on her last outing; makes her handicap debut after 318 days off and the market should be revealing. |

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

The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher. |

Fully effective over C&D and fine on good to soft (more to prove on soft); unplaced at Brighton last time but beaten under 3l despite being allowed to coast home in the final 100 yards having seen no daylight; should be in the thick of it. |

Won twice over 7f for Karl Burke as a 2yo; not much to celebrate since but his stable debut in January (C&D) wasn't without hope and he's now 10lb lower; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
