5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All four of his wins were on soft or heavy ground, three at Goodwood; runner-up on his only two visits here, including at this meeting (good to soft) last year and he's 1lb lower today; that was over 8.5f and his creditable fifth on reappearance ten weeks ago was in the 1m Lincoln at Doncaster, but he stays 1m2f; strong each-way claims. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
8yo whose losing sequence is up to 15 following a disappointing run at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; however, he was runner-up twice in a row prior to that (7f, good to soft/soft; including here) and is usually right at home on testing ground; he could bounce back with a big performance. |
9/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by ground softer than good; ten-time winner, mainly at Goodwood, most recently in last year's Golden Mile off 12lb higher; has proved resurgent with second-place finishes over 7f the last twice, latest at Haydock; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Given his fine record on slow ground at Goodwood he was thoroughly underwhelming there last weekend, but two days later he bounced straight back to finish second at Epsom (7f, good to soft); might run well again but he's hard to catch right these days. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Just second outing for Geoff Harker when runner-up off 1lb higher at Haydock (1m, good) last May but never involved when dropped to 7f at York the following month and not seen since (gelded); this is a tough race to return in. |
14/1 |

12th 4 (13) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Just second outing for current yard when adding to his good Haydock record with a closing second over 1m three weeks ago; slight doubts as to whether the drop back to 7f will be ideal but his mark is definitely workable. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 (14) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D (good) for Roger Varian last summer and another fine effort over C&D when second on soft in the autumn; changed hands for 110,000gns after final 3yo start; never involved in the Lincoln at Doncaster on reappearance for new yard but he did meet trouble in running; stall 14 could make life tricky. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In good form over 1m/10.3f (good) prior to winning at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) in August; kept on well for respectable fifth in Listed race at Newbury (7f, good) four weeks ago and could build on that latest performance now back up to 1m; no surprise to see a big run. |
22/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
AW winner who belatedly opened his turf account in Chester handicap (7.5f; back from a break) most recently; however, appears to need another career-best performance to follow up. |
14/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
0-16 on turf but usually runs his race; runner-up at this track (10.5f, good) when last seen in May; may find this on the sharp side having not been seen in races less than 1m since his juvenile days. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m on good and soft ground in the summer of 2024; looked about ready to strike when second of 12 at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June and now 3lb lower, but modest in both starts since; something to prove attempting this far for the first time. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Absent since having an excuse (track position) when beaten favourite in the Carlisle Bell three months ago; largely consistent otherwise and ran creditably over C&D earlier in June; rebound plausible. |
10/1 |
|
5 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent sort who won three times last year (7f/1m, good/soft) and kept on for second at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) recently; the forecast slow ground is in his favour and he's high on the list for his in-form yard. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more. |
15/2 |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m4f AW handicap winner in April and followed that with two good efforts, including here; however, he finds winning difficult and no real positives to take from his last three races. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Third in first-time visor (retained since) at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) last month and runner-up at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) since; solid claims. |
7/1 |
|
5 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins at 1m and the latest was in May of last year; however, competitive in 1m/1m2f handicaps for current yard and unlucky not to be closer than 2l at Chester last time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |

Went close in sole AW attempt; heavy-ground success in September confirmed that she seems a mudlark on turf; raced too freely last time; even if she settles better, this is a tough assignment. |

Found it tough in May/June but her sights have been lowered and she won an eight-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks ago from Arkhalia Flynn; 7lb higher today but that win came in dominant fashion. |
