11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over this trip on turf in 2024 and didn't run at all badly when fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m2f, good) in June after 221 days off; seven previous goes on the AW leave him with something to prove. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed plenty of times but has only won the once in 19 starts; reasonable fourth on her comeback run and forced wide throughout when well beaten at Beverley (again over 1m4f); wouldn't be the percentage play. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual Flat winner who has produced two encouraging placed efforts over C&D of late; has a bit to find with some of these but should be thereabouts. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who hasn't offered much at all over hurdles, including his handicap debut here last time when tried in a tongue-tie; went off 25-1 that day. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |
6/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (16) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-18 before he won a C&D handicap (good to firm) last Monday, coming from the rear; well beaten in his hurdle races on softer than good but has not encountered it on Flat and having some recent form is respected. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive gelding who become inconsistent; punctuated a string of ordinary efforts with a near-miss in a small field over C&D in June (first-time blinkers) but well held the next twice before fading into a modest third over 1m4f here yesterday. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gave short-odds favourite a fright when second of four here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June but was soundly beaten on his other four starts for Tony Carroll this year and his latest win was in 2023. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won since 2023 but he went close in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has claims on that form but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l back at Brighton two weeks ago; risks attached. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-28 on the Flat but he has finished runner-up five times, including at Lingfield last month; solid effort in a classified event on the AW there two weeks ago (1m4f) and makes each-way appeal. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-27 on the Flat and although he was runner-up here on the turf track (11.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago, he does not appeal for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |

Has 1-55 career strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022; 0-26 on the Flat and hasn't been shaping as though a win is imminent. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
12-race maiden; ran well over 1m here on his stable debut last May but backward steps ever since; hopes pinned on the new, longer trip and the addition of blinkers (has worn a visor and cheekpieces in the past) sparking a revival. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |
|
6 (10) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |
|
3 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |
