4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has seven wins to his name and shaped well when placed on his first two starts this year; never figured when favourite at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June but race may have come too soon and dangerous to dismiss. |
11/2 |

7th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has record of 3-6 over C&D and he's finished placed in his two runs this season including a close second at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and he's 2lb lower than when winning at Windsor (6f, good) last August; he has a good record at Windsor but can also be effective elsewhere; chance. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
He has contested this race for the last four years, with form figures reading 1626; mostly running with credit this term and he narrowly prevailed at Newbury (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 3lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive under Billy Loughnane; player. |

1st 3 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
8yo whose losing run goes back 18 races to July 2024 but he's often run well in the meantime, including on his last two starts; each-way player. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this. |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
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 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; runs off the same mark but this looks a deeper event. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; he didn't run badly off his revised mark at Epsom on Derby day and last week's Stewards' Cup was always going to be a tough assignment; this is more suitable but others look better treated. |
14/1 |

18th 27 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; he didn't run badly off his revised mark at Epsom on Derby day but it would be a surprise if he were up to a task of this magnitude. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

4 (9) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In fair form in second half of 2024, winning 7f Salisbury maiden (good to firm) before finishing third in Southwell novice (6f); had a wind op afterwards; best of her three runs this year when 3.5l seventh of nine at Windsor last time (6f, good); return to 7f could suit. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Won a Salisbury maiden (7f, good to firm) a year ago, but having undergone wind surgery has been well beaten in both starts over C&D since returning in June; best watched for now. |

Ran well on his only previous outing at Southwell but has lost his form of late and finished down the field at Redcar 11 days ago; hopes depend on how he reacts to first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Off the mark on handicap debut at Doncaster in April (5f, good to firm); some fair runs since, including a good second over 6f, but disappointing on last two starts. |

8th 5 (9) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Patchy form since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in April, his best subsequent effort when beaten a head off this mark at Catterick (6f, good to soft) on his penultimate outing; each-way claims on his best form. |

9st 12lb |
Both wins on turf in 2024 when trained by Ralph Beckett; ran her best race for current yard when third of ten here (6f) on AW debut ten days ago; is at least as effective over 7f and should run well. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

7/1 |

6 (9) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
On a competitive mark on form as recent as June but hasn't been at the top of her game on her two outings for this yard; unproven on slow ground. |
