12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Back to his best this year, winning three times from the front, latterly from the same stall over C&D in July; did it easily that day but finds himself 9lb higher as a result, which will test him back from a couple of months off. |
4/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch. |

1st 3 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
14-race maiden but he's had several close calls this year including when runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on Monday; was as good as ever with that bold bid and he's a big player off same mark here. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
17th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who was turned over at short prices a few times in the spring before out of his depth latest (tough stall); is odds-on to fluff the start but should do better if getting away under a 7lb claimer. |

10st 0lb |
His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |

Beaten on her last 14 starts but has often run well in that spell, including when third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; also effective on turf (unproven on slow ground); could be thereabouts. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; his last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher and he returned from a three-month break with a promising effort at Musselburgh (5f) last month; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out. |

Showed signs of running into form in May; proved a disappointing favourite in June when last seen but, judged on historical data, looks interesting off current mark dropped to 0-55 level. |

Busy mare who enjoyed a purple patch around the turn of the year with four wins but she has found it tougher going since; edging back down the weights but would have made more appeal over 5f. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Enjoyed a purple patch around the turn of the year but she has found it tougher going off a BHA mark in the 70s since the latest of her wins; others appeal more. |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Record of 9-41 on AW includes four wins this winter; has never defied a mark this high, however, and seems unlikely to reverse Friday placings with Alondra and El Bufalo who are in career-best form at this moment. |

Prominent racer who won twice in the spring, including a C&D handicap off 5lb lower; in and out since and although she's well drawn here, an easy lead is unlikely. |

Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up. |

His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded. |

Five of his six wins have come on the AW but consistent in the main on most surfaces and came from behind to be third to Neptune Legend here 74 days ago; has run well after similar breaks in the past. |

3rd 5 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |
