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 |

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 Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2026, including C&D, with the latest an emphatic win in the mud at Beverley on Sunday; a 4lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
11/10 |

1st 15 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Successful off 1lb higher at Carlisle in May; went close at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) nine days ago; shouldn't be too far away with a repeat. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed sort; 2lb lower than when winning at Carlisle in March (5f, good) but wasn't at his best at Ayr last time. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored at Lingfield (6f) in January but below par since, only tenth on a rare turf start at Newmarket (6f) ten days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins have been on AW and latest was on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in January; 4lb lower here but he's struggled at Wolverhampton in last three runs and has plenty to prove back on turf. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ten of his 11 wins have come over C&D, the latest in March off a 1lb higher mark; happiest when making the running and there could be some competition for that role in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir. |
