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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back on his last successful mark (AW) and wins at Epsom and Chepstow (both on good ground) last summer suggest today's course should be fine; won't mind the return to 5f, either, having been pestered in front last time, and is one to consider. |

Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since spring 2023 and absent since finishing down the field on final start for George Baker in May; on another career-low mark for stable debut, though, and won't mind what the weather does; swaps cheekpieces for first-time eyeshields. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

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. |
8/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all off today's mark on seasonal debut at Bath (5.7f, firm) in April; one of best runs since when 2l second of eight at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all off today's mark on seasonal debut at Bath (5.7f, firm) in April and will be fine over this slightly longer trip but doesn't always looks straightforward and needs to up her game after two below-par 5f runs. |

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 |

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. |

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. |
20/1 |

8th 14 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out. |

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. |
