Down in the weights and back to form when just failing to get up over 5f at Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago; put back up 3lb but retains handicapping scope on peak form and has Oisin Murphy doing the steering. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |

13th 1 (16) |

C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Twice went close in June (5f, good to soft) and he ran well once more when close seventh of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; could be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
7th 21 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Tough sprinter who looks better than ever this season; cracking effort to win a Haydock handicap (5f, good) a fortnight ago and he bumped into a rapid improver at Doncaster on Saturday; effective on very soft ground and should make another bold bid. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Solid form in Group races this year, notably his Goodwood third, and better than ever with his mighty weight-carrying effort in a good Haydock handicap last week; stayed on strongly off a good pace on that occasion to win with something to spare (good Topspeed figure); fully effective on soft and he's the one to beat on ratings; solid contender. |
11/8 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win in 2023 but not for a lack of effort, regularly acquitting himself with credit in top sprints; near his best when third in a Group 2 at Goodwood five weeks ago and that form looks rock solid; going back up 6lb does leave him with something to find on this year's handicap runs though. |

9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |

14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |

6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |

17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

3rd 7 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

5th 8 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away. |

Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |

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. |

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. |

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |

Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case. |
