5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner (including here) in 2025; yet to hit top form in a light campaign this season though, coming in eighth of ten in handicap at Bath (1m) 22 days ago; others are preferred. |

Last season's two wins came at around a mile, the one over C&D; hasn't found his best form in three runs this summer but he is back to a winning mark as a result. |

Veteran who completed a quickfire double last autumn but is 0-13 since and his second-place finish in June has not been backed up, kept to Brighton since; opposed. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Long in the tooth now and not firing on all cylinders this season but, from a reduced mark, ran well in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in June; had excuse (lame) when below form here last month; big player if all goes to plan this time. |

C&D win last September came off 3lb higher; always deep from stall 12 when running below market expectations here a fortnight ago when behind Baloo's Blues and should fare better. |
8/1 |

10th 6 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His two wins (from 21 races) came in a row last year, latterly in this race; 1lb lower today and second at Chepstow on latest start was his best show this season, so he's one for the shortlist despite a wide draw. |

9st 6lb |
Runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last five runs, including for new yard over 1m and 1m2f last month; it remains to be seen whether a marked step up in trip improves matters. |
33/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
250,000euros yearling; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last four runs, including on stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) this month; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-11 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
10th 9 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

0-10; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan (1m-1m2f, including AW) but last of nine at Haydock (1m2f) on sole start for Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay; nice pedigree - cost 250,000euros as a yearling - so this trainer could work her magic; monitor only. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip. |
7/2 |

4th 2 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting. |

Won over C&D last December and again on her reappearance in April; lost her way afterwards, but her third of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago was more encouraging; back off her last winning mark and respected. |

Now only 1lb higher than when beginning this season with 1m4f AW win in April but looked out of sorts on last two outings; swapped usual cheekpieces for new visor last time; goes without any headgear today. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often placed on turf/AW this year and 10lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in January, but he's 0-18 in handicaps; needs the addition of cheekpieces to make a difference. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Sole win from 22 starts came in a maiden at Newcastle (7f, AW) in October 2024; has placed form on turf, including when third of eight at Windsor last month, but his best form has been on the AW. |

Has been in a consistent vein of form on turf, fourth at Brighton last time; gained most recent success over C&D (off current mark); solid claims returned to this scenario. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goodwood/Lingfield winner who's been running well all summer without looking to have anything in hand off this mark, latterly when splitting a couple of subsequent winners over C&D early last month; looks set to go well again. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground. |

Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f for the Kublers last year and made satisfactory stable/hurdle debut when fourth (albeit well held) against own age-group at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in March; ideally needs to settle better but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit; each-way claims. |

She won a heavy-ground 2yo novice in October 2024 but is 0-13 since and judged on recent evidence it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Only win in 17 races came in a 2yo novice for former yard; fairly well held this year from 6f to 1m2f but has never been lower in the weights. |

6th 13 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won 1m2f Bath novice as 2yo but just middling form from the front here of late, over 1m2f, 7f and 6f; dropping down the weights but this is competitive and the other two from the yard look more interesting. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed and beaten under 3l on handicap debut here a month ago (1m, heavy); different conditions and a longer trip to deal with now but not dismissed. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A whiff of ability on debut, less so on both starts since (blinkered latest) but going handicapping offers a far more realistic chance; it's his turf debut too but he's been absent since January. |

All 11 wins have been here, the latest in July (1m2f, firm; 4lb lower); pushed Buckland Belle close on his return visit and lost all chance with a slow start last time; unlikely to be far away if breaking better. |
