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. |

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. |

Resumed with C&D success and backed it up with a solid fourth of 13 over C&D later in May; ought to be in the shake-up off the same mark. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
25/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Pulled up in successive handicap hurdles before beaten about 11l in a 2m handicap at Chester; has a bit to prove, but encouraging that best Flat form has been on this surface. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look. |

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

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). |

Back to form when second of eight in 1m handicap at Newmarket 13 days ago; this C&D winner take a big step back up in trip now and must enter calculations off a reduced mark. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in three Flat runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he was sixth of seven over C&D last time and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in two Flat runs (1m2f/11.4f) this season; has plenty to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |
