9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on the AW includes 2-5 record over this C&D; however, he's run only three times since finishing close up here last September and looks one to watch after a remote finish here last month. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in June but reportedly unsuited by the going when disappointing there two months ago; 0-12 on turf compared to 5-13 on the AW and makes some appeal back on this surface. |

Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |

Won a Lingfield novice (7f, Polytrack) last November and added an Ascot handicap (1m, good) in May; out of the frame in three starts since, though not disgraced when sixth of 14 in first-time blinkers at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last month; bit more needed all the same. |

Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

Dual C&D winner but has trailed in last on two most recent starts; has had his second wind op since and difficult to place too much faith in. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time. |

Front-runner who won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; however, this 8yo wasn't at the top of his game at Southwell (1m, AW) in January and he may improve for this first outing since. |

Now 2lb lower than when keeping on well for close second behind course specialist in quite valuable Brighton Mile this summer, but recent Tapeta form has been underwhelming and he remains without a win since 2023. |

Won three times over 7f at Kempton in 2024 for Kevin Philippart de Foy; hasn't been with Tony Carroll long and shaped well when fifth at Southwell last time (7f; not get the best of runs); career-low mark; interesting. |

All three wins have come at this track over 7f; having dropped down the weights he made a pleasing stable debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; of interest back at Kempton and with Billy Loughnane booked. |

8yo who has been in career-best form this year and posted course win number four when scoring over C&D (good) last month; got going too late once in the clear over 7f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago, when appearing to still be in good form, and he's high on the list now back up to 1m. |
