28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but consistent in the main and was a close fourth in a 1m2f classified here last week; must have some sort of chance. |
4/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor handicap run here nine days ago but is generally very consistent; came second in similar race to this over C&D (good) in June and probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Admirably consistent 7yo who chased home Angel's Call in 7.3f classified race here in June and was third over C&D in that grade a fortnight ago; probably in the mix again. |

Multiple winner over 7f-1m, including on soft; made the frame over C&D last month but losing run is mounting up and has performed poorly the last twice. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year; 0-11 on turf but she was runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in June and a good third behind Kaleidoscope Eyes there (7.3f, good) last time; should go well again and she won't mind if the ground becomes testing. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year and is knocking on the door at present, having been placed on her last three starts; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time and must go close. |
9/4 |

3rd 10 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 1m wins on Polytrack this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; finished runner-up three times since her last success including at Wolverhampton (7f) and Ffos Las (1m) in last two runs; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and has leading claims. |

2nd 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; has been up and down this season and was well held at Ffos Las (7.3f) last time, but she justified strong support there on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and she's effective over C&D. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form over C&D this summer, most recently when keeping on well for narrow win on good ground 17 days ago; probably doesn't have much margin for error after 3lb rise but rain will aid her cause. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over C&D (heavy) off this mark last September; showed she was on the way back when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and should be in the firing line. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark. |
6/1 |

1 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |
|
2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but he was a close third under a prominent ride in a classified event at Bath (1m, firm) when last seen in early July; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's ideally suited by slow ground |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This veteran hasn't tasted success for nearly three years; he ran okay over C&D two starts ago and when sixth at Ffos Las last week but more is needed. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Three course wins already this year, the latest by a neck over 7f (good to firm) 13 days ago (won on soft ground in June); placed four times from six starts over C&D and could go well again despite being 3lb out of the weights. |
12/1 |

1st 7 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner in July off 2lb lower; below that level since and he's the most exposed of these (2-36). |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (11) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Only 2lb higher than when fending off Ajrad and Scarfo here last month (7f) but never threatened to follow up 16 days ago, again here; however, consistent in the main and couldn't rule out. |
16/1 |
