3rd 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
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. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
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. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |
|
5 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Debut winner who was only short-headed on his handicap debut at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and his Sandown run after a lengthy break was too bad to be true; could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
0 7 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Less exposed than most of these and was having only his third outing when short-headed in six-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy; won debut on good to firm) in May; edged up 3lb but open to further improvement and must be considered. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |
|
9 (6) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |
6/1 |
