28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Had course form earlier in career but his losing run goes back more than three years and he hasn't been in much form since last autumn, including for new yard; usually wears headgear but not today. |

Back on a useful mark but hasn't got a lot going at all this year and others are safer. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Previous C&D winner but has not fired in three turf runs this year; back on her last winning mark and needs to rediscover her best form. |

8th 5 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

All three wins have been over 6f; hasn't fired on either of her starts this year but well handicapped if she can return to form. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of short-priced defeats this year, often for Oisin Murphy; no question he's fairly handicapped back on the AW (goes well here) but he's become something of a professional loser. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win of the year but he has run some good races, including a second of seven at Sandown on penultimate start; Ryan Moore booked but others may have this 6yo's measure. |
11/2 |

6th 2 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins include one on the AW at Lingfield (7f) last October, and it was his best effort on RPRs when a close-up second of 12 over that same C&D last month; has been in good form since wind surgery and makes appeal. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
C&D win last October off 2lb lower; had a wind operation prior to his seasonal return in June; two solid efforts this year and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Debut winner on the AW; beaten 4l and 3l in her two handicaps (5f, good) and slow starts didn't help; more to prove than some. |
9/2 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Below par the last twice and from stall two she could do with breaking better than on last month's handicap debut at Newmarket; however, she showed speed and promise in the spring on her first two starts (5f, AW/good to soft) and judged on that evidence she could be on a handy mark. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won a fast-ground handicap at Lingfield (5f) in May off 2lb higher; up and down since and when fifth of nine over C&D 17 days ago he had been backed into favouritism; too talented to discount at this level. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five AW wins but 1-22 on turf and that was at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; has run well in all three course starts, including when losing his lead late on over C&D in June, and although problems at the start can hold him back, he's entitled to be involved. |
13/2 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Six-time winner who's had issues with the stalls on three of his last four runs; solid in the market off this mark when it went wrong again at Lingfield last time and he holds place prospects if all goes smoothly. |
8/1 |
