17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple sprint wins but has run only three times over 7f, returning to the trip for the first time in three years when outstayed late after making the running at Thirsk 12 days ago; won over 6f next time but stamina still in question over this far. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both his wins in 2026 have come over C&D, the latest last month off a 2lb lower mark; beaten favourite off the same mark back here 11 days ago but ran okay; new mark has kicked in but likely to give a good account |
5/1 |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Prominent racer who took his C&D form figures to 1131 when seeing off 11 rivals in an apprentice race on good last Thursday; same mark here so ought to make a bold bid, particularly from the inside draw. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Regularly makes the frame but has won only once since 2021, and he's not quite the force of old; possibly more effective at 6f than 7f. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Missed a few chunks of his career and is on the decline now; remains consistent, though, is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and is being given every chance by the handicapper. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unpenalised for last week's narrow win here when prominent throughout in the reapplied visor; had dropped to a good mark anyway so clear claims if he can hold his form, which is not always the case. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 (11) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hit and miss this season but he is on a handy mark and form such as his third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on penultimate start brings him right into it; visor back on after two runs in cheekpieces. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |
10/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |
