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 |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

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. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Newcastle (6f; first-time tongue-tie) in February; well beaten on his last three starts but he did have an excuse here two weeks ago (blindfold was removed late). |
33/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time AW winner who is 1-7 on turf; paid for setting a strong pace when returned to this sphere last time but ended up achieving nothing in terms of form and he has become inconsistent. |
20/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024. |

9st 12lb |
Six-time course winner (various ground) who runs off the same mark as when winning at Ffos Las in June; however, she's failed to shine here on her three runs this autumn and needs to turn things around. |

Versatile ground-wise and has won six times at this track; most recent win came off this mark at Ffos Las in June but she had a major blip over C&D (heavy) 20 days ago and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner who's been on the downgrade for some time and is on a losing run of 18; remains consistent enough but, like stablemate Marisitta, has a job on with Arnaz on the same terms as last Sunday. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

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. |
