19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course scorer (also goes well on soft) but yet to fire this season and underwent breathing surgery before coming in only ninth of 12 over 7f here eight days ago; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces now. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Prolific course winner, including this race in 2024, and he has dropped a long way in the weights; that is a result of some low-key runs this year and a wind operation since the latest is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |

9th 8 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |

Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020. |

Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect. |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful 2yo; struggled at three and he couldn't make much of an impact in Bahrain earlier in the year but he's run well in both starts since returning to Britain (in a new visor), notably when missing out narrowly at Haydock two weeks ago (6f, good); raced away from the well-handicapped winner on that occasion and drew 5l clear of the third (who has run well since; fifth also won next time); up 4lb but that looks lenient; strong claims. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time turf winner who was also winning his sixth AW event when scoring at Southwell (7f) in February; 2lb lower when coming back to form with neck defeat over that C&D in April but not seen since; nothing wrong with his mark if this isn't merely a springboard to another AW campaign. |

Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |

9st 8lb |
Just touched off in the 2024 running; has had some tough weights tasks since reassessed for his local Grade 1 win in Bahrain during January but he wasn't far away in the Ayr Silver Cup last month and this is a drop in grade from last time; return to 5f will suit; visor refitted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Dual C&D scorer; below par this season after a 5f win in Bahrain in January until much better signs with seventh of 23 in Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago, when third in his group; likely player off a 2lb lower mark. |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |
