6th 4 (4) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

Ran away with a turf handicap here (5f, good to soft; blinkered first time) in July; two heavy defeats have followed and this looks a warm race in which to try and bounce back; no accessories this time. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Gained reward for some fine efforts on turf in recent months when winning 5f Ascot handicap (good to firm; also won on good to soft) a fortnight ago; raised 4lb to a clear career-high mark but he should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He has enjoyed more success on AW than turf but has run well in both visits to Ascot, finishing third of 12 four weeks ago; Billy Loughnane booked and he's likely to make a bold bid but he could help tee this up for one of the finishers. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; ran right up to his best when second of ten in a Shergar Cup race over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago; did best of those drawn in double figures at York 17 days ago and should give another good account. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Fully exposed but always dangerous when getting a strong pace to chase and this is much easier than at Goodwood last time; has form here. |
10/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |

Prominent racer; dropped right away at Lingfield last week (6f) and the widest stall won't make life easy this time. |
16/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to win a 6f handicap at Ripon in April off this mark; dips back into Class 5 company for the first time since; well drawn to attack and she's not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (11) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
3yo whose best efforts this season have come here, winning over C&D (good) in April and going close over C&D (good) in June; fourth of 15 over C&D ten days ago and she's firmly in calculations. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped and although he is now 0-19 for this yard, he has run several good races in defeat; latest Wolverhampton second was one of them and he is more appealing than many. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some good runs during his losing streak and did well to finish second at Bath in the penultimate one after starting slowly; his sixth of 17 back there was in a competitive race. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (17) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

On a losing run and last two defeats were in races won by Legendsoftheland and Geemann; however, did well to finish second last time after a slow start and not without hope. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner whose last success was over C&D in May; hasn't made a serious impact since then but he did best of the hold-up performers here (fifth of 11) here last time and is now back on his last winning mark; dangerous. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in May and in good form until just seventh of 12 in 6f Newmarket handicap 25 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |

Two 6f wins on good to firm this year and back to best when 1l second of nine to reopposing Pilu at Yarmouth (6f, good); solid. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 7 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D in May and was also on target at Windsor (also 6f, good to firm) in July; didn't run badly when midfield in competitive series final back at Windsor last month and may still have a bigger run in him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has plenty of handicapping experience but better than ever when winning quite convincingly over C&D (good to firm) recently; on a career-high mark against stronger opposition but it's not too late for him to do better. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole success came in an AW novice at Kempton in March last year when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton; has made the frame on all three AW starts for current trainer this year and won't be far away if she can replicate that form back on turf. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Outsider of the field both starts for Scott Dixon but didn't run like it, managing fourth then a front-running third; latest defeat was at the hands of the prolific Yorkshire Glory and Aisling Oscar; major claims on this drop in grade. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
1-13 for Eve Johnson Houghton, the win coming in a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last March; reappeared with a respectable effort on her stable debut at Southwell last month but she needs to build on that and this is her first run at this track. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on extremes of going; did some damage to her handicap mark when going close in a Listed race at Bath in April but she's better treated again now and ran creditably, having to be switched, when fifth of nine over this C&D last time; needs more for the win. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
She's struggled to get competitive in handicaps since her Listed near-miss at Bath (5f, good) in April but she's dropped down the weights and the return to slow ground could prove to be a major plus; not ruled out. |
25/1 |
|
14th 9 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins on extremes of going in 2025, including over C&D, but she surpassed them all in form terms when just losing out in a Listed race at Bath in April; had a rough ride from the handicapper as a result and she's found it all too much since; up against it. |

Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

Won at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June and back on song when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; raced wide when close sixth of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last time; should be fine back at 5f; possible player. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |

|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Remains on a losing spell that goes back to his novice double in 2024 and has regressive results since switched to classified level, albeit perhaps needed latest run (back from break). |
