19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in May, after a break, and ran at least as well there three weeks later; pulled up at Newton Abbot in June but spreading a plate during the race might excuse that; considered. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip. |

Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |

Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (9) |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on all AW but runner-up three times on testing turf; has a reduced mark but that's as a result of him being off for 595 days; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple staying wins on turf and the AW and she's back on her most recent winning mark, at Nottingham (1m6f, good) in May; put a couple of modest runs in June behind her when a close third of four at Lingfield 25 days ago but likely to need more for this. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple winner but a 9yo now and hasn't been at her best in last two races, beaten 18l at Goodwood and then last of the three at Newbury (both at 2m); on last winning mark if she could stage a revival. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |

No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled at York in July after winning his previous start by a wide margin at Carlisle (2m1f, good), but got back on track with a solid effort at Newmarket last time; he's 2-2 over this C&D, both coming earlier this year, and has to be considered. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; struggled at York last time but he had a wide draw and was badly hampered at a crucial stage; can put a line through that and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |
9/1 |

12th 7 (14) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; this 7yo is up 5lb to a career-high mark and everything dropped right last time, but he's nevertheless entitled to respect having won in fine style. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |
11/2 |
