8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner; no longer the force of old but ran big race when fourth of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last week; 1lb lower here and could be hard to catch if in similar form again. |

9st 4lb |
Front-runner; 3lb lower than for his runaway win at Haydock last September (5f, good) but hasn't got a lot going in his last four races and was tailed off in Epsom's Dash, in which he was second in 2024; others preferred. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Similar type to Jordan Electrics, being a veteran who is still capable of winning races, as shown at Chester (5f, heavy) nine days ago; back up 3lb but scored off this mark three times in 2025. |
12/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has an excellent record in this race, with a second in 2022 and wins in 2023 and 2024 (all on soft/heavy); only fifth to Lexington Blitz on good 12 months ago but his second (Lexington Blitz third) in the Epsom Dash (good to soft) shows he's still useful, and he can be made to look well treated on that form even from 3lb out of the handicap; any easing of the ground in his favour. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |
5/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D win at the May meeting off a 1lb higher mark; not so good since, including when well backed over 6f here three weeks ago; conditions should be fine but a lower draw would have been preferred. |
6/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Back to the mark off which he won a 5f handicap at the May meeting; not had optimal conditions since but returning to 6f and dropping in class could see a revival from this eight-time course winner. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Eight course wins to his name, the latest in May (5f, good) off a 2lb lower mark; had form over 7f in his youth but this year's two C&D runs haven't been convincing. |

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 |

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 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner as 2yo; useful type who is 2lb lower than for his Ayr win (6f, good) in July but he hasn't been in the same form of late and it's hard to argue that a return to form is imminent. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Only 2lb higher than when beating 16 rivals in a 6f handicap at Ayr in July; struggled since but the ability is there if this is a going day. |

12th 13 (10) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |

30th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning at 6f but the way she shaped over 7f here last time (second run for new stable) suggests this new trip is worth exploring; attractively weighted off 4lb below last winning mark; interesting. |

3rd 1 (8) |
14th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Decent strike-rate on AW but form has been patchy since her last win April and she failed to beat a rival at Chelmsford (6f) on last month's stable debut; now 3lb lower than for last success but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more solid; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Ended a long losing run when winning over this C&D in May but he's mostly fallen short of that form since, including on his last two starts; needs much more. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Gained sole handicap success in Class 5 in May and achieved his subsequent placed form in Class 4; came up short in Class 3 last time and can be opposed kept to this grade. |
16/1 |

10th 11 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May saw him end a losing run and he's been competitive again on last two outings when short-headed at Newcastle (5f, AW) and close up on heavy ground at Haydock; a bit more is needed, though. |

9st 13lb |
Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass. |
14/1 |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two heavy-ground wins in 2023 and this 11yo reappeared with a win in a big-field handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) this March, when 1lb higher; however, he's performed below that level on his three outings since. |
25/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
40-1 winner of a big-field C&D handicap (good to soft) in March on reappearance; the return to Doncaster may be a positive but this 11yo has been well beaten on both starts since and needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
10th 8 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |

Straightforward gelding who's fine on any surface and generally consistent; there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, and Kylian may be his trainer's best chance. |

5th 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Two wins and a close second to his name in five runs over C&D; weighted to his best currently, following a Yarmouth win off 3lb lower in June, and Kylian may be his trainer's best shout. |
