21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up a few times this year for Iain Jardine; down the field on debut for new stable; could go well if helped by first-time hood. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win (from 24 attempts) came back in March 2021 and this summer's turf form for Iain Jardine has been patchy; however, she's on a competitive mark judged on C&D exploits earlier this year and the return to this course for her stable debut could be a positive; not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Close third of 26 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in July and he's better than he showed on his two starts since (6f/7f, good to soft/soft); however, he needs to bounce back today and his last four wins have come over 6f. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Third of 26 in a 6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but then disappointed when 4-1 at Hamilton; lacks the same appeal as some in here, especially when 6f has always looked his trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Narrowly scored over C&D (good to soft) last September and she went close at Beverley (7.5f, good) in June; way below that form in four subsequent outings and will need to stage a revival with Cieren Fallon taking over. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
14 starts here have yielded two wins and a runner-up spot (all at 7f); went very close at Beverley (7.5f, good) in June but she's been in moderate form across three starts subsequently; needs a revival back down at 6f. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who was drawn wide over 1m at Thirsk last month before finding 6f too sharp here latest; today's 7f from stall 3 is fine (dual C&D winner) and, while she has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, any rain would help her chance. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

No problem with conditions and he ran his best race back from a short break when fourth of ten at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); more appealing than many off a dangerous mark. |

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Signed off for Charlie Fellowes with 5f nursery win at Catterick (good to soft) last September but hasn't shown a great deal for new stable this season (four runs) and is the one with by far the most to prove here. |
33/1 |

7th 2 (5) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on his final start last season; has been quiet in his three runs this term but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wolverhampton (fifth of 11) 11 days ago; now 1lb lower than for his win and he looks interesting on this switch back to turf. |
14/1 |
