8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive gelding who can pull hard and has hung left a couple of times since returned to turf, including here; most racing over 5f and his record over this trip is hard to enthuse about, for all that this is easier snd he's in a new headgear combination. |

Not as good as he was and although that is reflected in his handicap mark, others bring more pressing claims. |

3-25; most recent win came off 16lb higher at Goodwood (5f, good) in August 2023; pulled hard at Chelmsford (5f, AW) when last seen in February; refused to enter stalls in March and returns to turf with hood reapplied. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who hasn't shown much lately, but is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in February and is better drawn than he was back here last time; worth a second look, especially if backed. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted. |

Won 5f Catterick maiden as a 2yo; has struggled in handicaps for more than a year but the drop to this grade could help and first-time cheekpieces may also assist. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Much lower in the weights than when making the frame in her first three starts last year, but that's for a good reason with her form in four outings for this yard since last November decidedly moderate; look elsewhere. |

Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six-time turf winner; placed a few times since returned to that sphere; only 1-16 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off 3lb higher); in form and has a fighting chance. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Three-time course winner (5f/6f) who often leads, as was the case when a 4l third of five here ten days ago; that was a bit disappointing. |

3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Three-time course winner (5f/6f) whose form has been mixed since returning to turf in May, but this front-runner may enjoy the run of the race and she remains on a favourable mark; goes especially well on good to firm ground; much respected. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |

Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |
8/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |

4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Close third in a C&D classified race here in June on final start; even if in the same form after three months off, he has more on his plate back in a handicap from 8lb out of the weights. |

3rd 5 (9) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Not shown much in two starts on the AW since returning in March and just 3-50, but he was placed in all four starts in handicap company here (6f) last year; just about stays this far; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
Verdict
Provided his latest effort is backed up, FAI FAI has an excellent chance back down two grades. Sisters In The Sky, Brunel Charm and Watermelon Sugar look the biggest dangers, in that order of preference.[Steve Boow]
