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. |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Finished third in his two races this year, the latest in June at Carlisle (6f, soft); on a competitive mark and should make another bold bid. |

Has shown most of his form over 6f on ground softer than good; close third in big field over 5f at Doncaster in sole run this term; enters calculations off same mark back up in trip. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |

10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and is effective in the mud but he's still maiden after 14 starts and was disappointing at Lingfield (7f, good) in August; has something to prove again after a break and others are more convincing; tongue-tie back on. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exploited reduced mark on yard debut over C&D but was beaten at odds-on when escaping a penalty at Ffos Las; that was a missed opportunity as he's now 6lb higher. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance. |
4/5 |

1st 7 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at 6f and 7f on artificial surfaces; on a losing run of over two years but he acts on turf and is on a useful mark for his latest new yard on the pick of his 2025 form; usually wears aids but none today. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

Gained a third C&D win in June and backed it up with a good third of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 25 days ago; enters calculations once more. |

3rd 2 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wins have all come on good or softer turf and he confirmed his liking for Hamilton when making it 3-5 there early last month; currently 0-6 on the AW (all Tapeta) and a 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark for a yard that might be in better form. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims. |

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 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

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. |

Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unfavourably treated on these terms but he's in form after back-to-back handicap wins at 6f; should give his running. |
