1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

C&D win in January; not in the same form in three runs since April and minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Stuck on a losing run but has never been lower in the ratings and latest fourth of ten at Sandown was in a higher grade; one to consider. |
7/1 |

4th 12 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |

5th 5 (2) |

Losing run up to 18, but he has dropped to an attractive mark and has won twice and been placed five times from 12 starts over C&D; one to be interested in. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
2-34, but ran her best race for a while returned to turf when beaten 2l into third of ten behind Raft Up over C&D (good) last month; 7lb better off so each-way claims if stepping forward from that. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Holds weak claims on 2025 AW form and hasn't raced on turf for nearly two years; 0-9 in this sphere; others preferred. |

6th 8 (2) |
27th May 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Hold-up performer who should get the strong pace she needs but not in much form lately and a record of 2-32 doesn't inspire confidence. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ten of his 11 wins have come over C&D, the latest in March off a 1lb higher mark; happiest when making the running and there could be some competition for that role in this field. |
5/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |

Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |

16th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 5f winner in 2021 but not so good this season; closer four starts ago when wearing cheekpieces (kept since) for the first time and perked up again somewhat when tongue-tie was added in a C&D claimer for latest start, but others have more pressing claims. |

24th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |

Tough mare who has been holding her form very well, most recently making all to beat Murbih over C&D last week; penalty against stiffer opposition and other pace influences mean she'll need to step forward again. |

3rd Oct 2022 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Fair 5f winner in 2021 for Philip Makin but he's yet to fire for his current yard, racing alone when beating only one at Ripon (5f) nine days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
