14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Stays 2m but not short of speed; ran well behind a progressive rival at Southwell (1m4f) last time, third past the post but shaping second best on the day; drops 1f but a well-run race would bring him right into the picture. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (9) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a 1m6f handicap here last September and gained his first success since when wearing first-time cheekpieces at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 4lb out of the handicap) in July; however, he failed to beat a rival home at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month and returns to the AW needing to bounce back. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Peak efforts on AW but he won on good to firm last May and did so again when he first tried cheekpieces in eight-runner race at Ascot (1m4f; by a neck, led over 2f out) five weeks ago; back up 3lb but in the mix in small field. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower in April who went in again off his lower turf mark four weeks ago; both came for Harry Vigors in small fields and there's no reason not to expect another decent showing. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Six-time turf winner who went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in his last two runs; has bit to prove again and he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ran well for second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; failed to back it up when third of four at Newbury a fortnight ago; Simon Walker booked but others are more appealing for the win. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner; ran his best race of the season when narrowly pipped at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; 1lb rise is manageable but a tactical race wouldn't play to his strengths. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has made his name on the AW, winning five times at 2m; arrives here in good nick and he's not had all that many chances on turf. |

8th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
AW winner in February who took another step forward when coming from last to first in ten-runner race at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) eight days ago, winning by just over 4l; Jack Callan was placed on him in his previous two starts (one here) and returns today, to help combat his 8lb rise. |
13/8 |

1st 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance. |
2/1 |
|
6 (8) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win over an extended 1m1f on the AW in February but he stays much further and wasn't beaten by a lack of stamina when third at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers, retained) last week; acts on good to soft and major claims down in grade. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Needs to better his recent efforts but is now 4lb lower than when going very close at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May and it's worth remembering he landed this valuable prize last season; dangerous to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |
13/8 |
