15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a C&D novice handicap in May (good) and creditable second, also over C&D, next time; could go well but was a long way behind Betty's Tiara when back after a short break at Worcester last time; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces. |

Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in May, after a break, and ran at least as well there three weeks later; pulled up at Newton Abbot in June but spreading a plate during the race might excuse that; considered. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

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. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |

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. |

5th 3 (4) |

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. |

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. |

6th 8 (4) |

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. |

9st 2lb |
In the frame all four starts since returned to turf in April, most recently when second of seven at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; holds no secrets from the handicapper but is suited by this track and ought to go well again. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed six-time winner who can front run; 2lb beneath the mark he defied at Newbury last summer (1m5f, good to firm; effective on good to soft) and he hasn't been running badly of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |

9st 9lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last September when with Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't been with this yard for long, but he has looked better on Tapeta than on Polytrack thus far. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three 2m wins on AW in the first half of last year; last success was off 4lb higher but the wheels have come off since the autumn and he was tailed off at Kempton (after another wind op) last month; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Won three times on the AW in the first half of last year, the latest over C&D from 1lb higher in June; the wheels appear to have come off since the autumn, but he returns from three months off after a second wind operation; interesting to see how he fares. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Not at best when well-held third at Market Rasen this month but won off 2lb lower at Hexham (1m7f, good) in the spring and is also suited by this track; seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |

Now in his fourth stable, for which he won a 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June; beaten 8l next time at Cartmel and he has form there; mark just okay but couldn't rule out as this isn't a strong race. |

Hasn't been in much form on the AW or over hurdles for a few runs now, but is just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last October; each-way claims if back to that sort of form. |

Fair Flat stayer who displayed promise in two of the three maiden hurdles she contested last season; not obviously well treated for this handicap hurdle debut but the step up in trip ought to suit. |
