Returned from an 11-month layoff to win a Lingfield handicap (5f, good to firm) on his first run for Robyn Brisland; not quite so good twice since and others have more pressing claims. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April, but he's been up and down since and was beaten 9l behind Our Absent Friends at Catterick last time; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more solid. |
14/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Started his campaign with two wins in April and there have been plenty of solid runs since; should remain competitive but minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won this last year and kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row, the second of them over C&D; he's run well in defeat over C&D on his last two starts and there's every chance he'll again be bang there. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away. |

21st Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed. |
7/1 |

1st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1-18, having won at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in February, when 3lb higher; inconsistent since then but, as he showed at Southwell last week, he is capable of being very competitive. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Regressive since coming over from Ireland and has done her racing over 7f-1m during the past year; turned in two poor efforts this spring and is tried in first-time blinkers dropping to the minimum trip. |
25/1 |

14th 13 (1) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Her losing run stands at 21 but she ran some good races over C&D last year; usual hood was absent when well beaten on her return to action two weeks ago and it remains off today. |
