1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who has had a regressive campaign but he was a good third off this career-low mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) recently; he's effective here and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both AW wins have been over C&D; not the force of old but has dropped to a career-low mark; doesn't win very often nowadays though and is passed over. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Front-runner; knocking at the door on turf this summer but he's 0-14 on the grass and he's unlikely to get his own way up front in this field. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW who ran well from the front when second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; 0-13 on turf but remains 6lb lower than when second over C&D (firm) in May; could be hard to catch. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 12 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last September (5f, turf) but she ran creditably in better AW races than this earlier in the year and has won and gone well fresh in the past; interesting to see what another change of yard does for her; usually tongue tied but not today. |
4/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her record at Chelmsford reads 1223; her latest third was a well-beaten one, however, and more minor money may be her best hope. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in February 2024; ended last year with a close call at Newcastle (5f, AW) but he's been out of sorts since and was last of 14 at Doncaster in April; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival after a break. |
20/1 |
|
14th 7 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Close third over C&D in November off 3lb higher but he's finished down the field in his last three starts and his last win was over two years ago; others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari). |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

6th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained sole success off a higher mark but isn't particularly solid on 2026 efforts, both in the spring; left Michael Attwater since; possibly best watched unless the betting speaks positively. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
She's failed to shine on turf this year but has finished second at Wolverhampton on two of her last three starts (5f, AW) and she won here last summer; has a big part to play if the return to grass isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
10th 10 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 2lb |
Dual turf winner who normally plies her trade in a lower grade and her second of six a fortnight ago came in a classified event; 7lb out of the handicap and will likely find this too tall an order. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Unplaced in ten starts in Britain; has finished in front of only two of 21 rivals in his last three starts; jockey booking is the only positive |

8th 7 (3) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Unplaced in nine starts over 5f-8.6f; blinkers need to make a difference (has worn a hood and cheekpieces). |
