22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

In-form 9yo whose last four runs have been over C&D; failed narrowly under a penalty two weeks ago (behind Fifty Nifty) but 1lb lower here and should be involved. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C&D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty. |

Returned from a break with four decent runs (all over 6f) this spring and continues to edge down the weights; now 0-29 since his 2yo success but probably won't be far away; sports refitted cheekpieces. |

Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell; however, it was a winless campaign and he failed to threaten at Yarmouth in April on his sole run this year; changed hands for 18,500gns last month and he needs to get back on track on this stable debut. |

Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his seventh win, at Salisbury (6f, good) in May off 3lb lower and has performed with credit on his last two starts; cheekpieces return although he has never won in them; has won off higher marks than this and should run his race. |

Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |

27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |

Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Four-time turf winner including off 5lb higher over C&D (good to firm) last spring; well held at Wolverhampton when last seen in March but that was after a good spell on AW including a Kempton win; has good record when fresh and he needs a close look back from four months off. |
