19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a gamble when strolling home by 11l at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; subsequently raised a pound for every one of those lengths but he'll stay this trip and ran well on faster ground the time before; must be considered. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win a handicap on turf but won over hurdles (good to soft) and on AW earlier this year and did very well to finish third of 15 in the big 2m4f handicap at the Glorious meeting when 5lb out of the weights; just 1lb lower this time and balance of form suggests he'll need more back at 1m6f. |
10/1 |

3rd 17 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
14th at 100-1 in this race in 2024; won at Kempton this year over hurdles and on AW Flat, and similar Flat form over that 2m on last two runs, but much better is needed from 5lb out of the handicap today; 7lb claimer is called up. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-12 on AW, with the first three of those wins at this track (two C&D) but they were in 2023; won at Lingfield this February and close third over C&D in May but he was tailed off in his other two Flat runs (one here) this year, which adds a cautionary note; wears headgear first time. |
11/2 |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Relatively lightly raced 8yo who is versatile trip-wise and has record of 4-11 on AW; returned from a lengthy absence in February but he won here (1m5f) in March and bounced back from a poor run to finish third at Kempton (2m) last time; on same mark here and has claims if he can back that up; one of two runners for yard. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success came at Kempton in July 2025 when 4lb higher; beaten six times over hurdles for current yard since but shaped better when third of seven at this track (1m6f) last month despite racing freely; needs to settle better in order to fulfil his potential. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
1-20 under rules and hasn't set the world alight since joining this yard; didn't settle when fifth of nine over C&D eight days ago and probably best watched despite a 4lb drop. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW handicap in July last year when trained by Tom Ward; had an unsuccessful stint over hurdles this year for current yard, and well held in a couple of 2m handicaps since; drops back in trip on AW return and best watched for now. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins and best form on the AW and he's had dark days in his only two turf runs this year; however, he finished close up in third over this C&D (soft) in July 2025 so some sort of turnaround is possible. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best form and all three wins on the AW, at 1m3f and 2m; just 0-6 on turf but he does act on the surface and any rain would be helpful; however, he'll need to be at his very best, if not better, to win this. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressed well in 2025 when a dual C&D winner; shaped encouragingly after six months off when fourth of five in 2m Goodwood handicap on his return in May; sort to do well again this season, so he's a big player eased 1lb. |

No problem with conditions and he's run some sound races in defeat on AW this year; might find a few better treated. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins at this track, the latest a C&D defeat of Sun Dancer Girl in January; solid placed efforts on his last two starts and he has the assistance of a top amateur jockey; big player. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Most runs and both wins have been on the AW but has comparable turf form, including a second over C&D in 2022; needs respecting after a near miss at Kempton (2m). |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Runner-up on his last four appearances, losing out only by half a length over C&D on penultimate occasion; will be a tough nut to crack if new tongue-tie has any positive effect; cheekpieces (worn last time) are removed. |
11/4 |
|
5 (7) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile type who has finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m), Southwell (1m6f) and Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last three starts; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back on Polytrack; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile as regards trip having finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in his last two starts; has gone back up 2lb but still hard to rule out; no headgear today. |
