3rd 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner who isn't too fussy about the ground; had a quiet spell for last trainer but has taken advantage of a handy mark for new yard this year, winning twice over 5f, and he looked to be still in form at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 (7) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |

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 |

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. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

Handles most ground and she's gone close in two of her three C&D starts, but neither of her turf starts (on heavy; has handled the surface) this year have matched up, with and without cheekpieces (back on today); reservations for now. |

Continues to edge down the weights and he's run the odd fair race this year, but he's without a win since November 2023 and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |

Ended a two-year losing run with a hard-fought success at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; 3lb higher on a first AW outing since April 2024; others appeal more. |

8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |

12th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

17th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Musselburgh (5f, good); given the narrow winning margin (a nose), a 2lb rise looks fair; should be thereabouts; stablemate of Resilience. |
