28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Scored five times last year, including last two attempts in Class 5; far from solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may prompt a resurgence off a reduced mark; market support would heighten interest. |
9/2 |

7th 12 (5) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year but hasn't come close to the same level in 2026; well handicapped (despite being 2lb out of weights) but leap of faith needed. |

19th 15 (22) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year and although he hasn't been at his best in 2026, his handicap mark is tumbling; will be of major interest back on testing ground but the drying forecast isn't optimal today. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025 (including this race) but he arrives well below his best, only sixth of nine in C&D handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins and three seconds from eight runs here and he will be happier sprinting again having not seen out 1m last month; time has looked to be catching up this year, however, and Legendsoftheland appears his trainer's best chance. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Raced exclusively in sprints for the last year or so and has been this far only twice; doesn't arrive in much form and others have more pressing claims. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |
11/2 |

6 (11) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |
|
12 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins over 5f on various ground on turf, the latest when beating three rivals in an apprentice handicap at Chepstow in July; form has regressed in three starts since so needs the return to Class 6 company to bring about a resurgence. |
33/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |
14/1 |

9 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |
