5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Likes it here but he's never won off a mark this high or at this level; ran poorly last time, when behind Star Chorus at Goodwood, and is some way down the pecking order. |
7/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent but he won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in April and at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month, and good to soft ground may have been against him at Epsom last time; stays 6f and he's not discounted. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer; arrives on the back of a Brighton win (5.3f, good to firm) last week, form boosted by the runner-up's win on Friday; took this race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark; lots to like but the suitability of ground slower than good is still to be proven. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |
7/1 |

The most exposed of these and losing run goes back a long way; not in much form of late. |

Had course form earlier in career but his losing run goes back more than three years and he hasn't been in much form since last autumn, including for new yard; usually wears headgear but not today. |

Often front runs; both wins have been here, the latest in April when 2lb higher; returns to a more suitable level after running in Class 4s. |

9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with a Bath win and began this campaign with another win at that track; well held at the Glorious meeting here 30 days ago and she is unlikely to enjoy a soft lead here. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
16/1 |
|
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. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways in 5f handicap at Doncaster in July; up 3lb and off since but has gone well fresh so not out of things. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta). |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Has done her winning over 5f on AW; behind a few of today's rivals over C&D most recently, taking turf record to 0-12; enough reasons to oppose her. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
One C&D success among a magnificent total of 13 wins; below best at Epsom last week but he showed he retains plenty of ability since absence when a front-running second of eight at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; can give it a good shot from rail draw back on AW. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
10yo who has won 13 times, including twice over C&D; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and was a front-running second on AW when last seen in June; dangerous back from a break. |
3/1 |
|
8 (6) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Conditions to suit and he's on a good mark but this veteran has been well beaten in two runs since returning from a long absence and this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |
