14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Late-maturing 8yo who scored on seasonal debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in May and posted another good effort when third at Ffos Las (6f, good) in June; remains on career-high mark but probably won't be far away. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent and probably a career-best to win after a break at Chepstow (5f, good to firm; fine on softer); only 2lb higher so has to be taken seriously. |

9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seems happiest on Tapeta, albeit he's a course winner, and has still to prove he's up to this mark on turf; two poor efforts this summer, after a break, leave him some way down the pecking order. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |
8/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |

Lightly raced 5yo; yet to hit top form in handicaps here (6f) and at Chepstow (5f) this summer; needs to take a step forward despite a falling mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in five of his first six starts, but not so good in his last two outings including on stable debut after a lengthy absence at Windsor (6f, good to firm; 33-1) last month; down in grade but best watched for now. |

8th 5 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-7 but has claims on his best form for Eve Johnson Houghton including a close third in Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm) last September; returns after 259 days off but he needs watching in market on stable debut; hood reapplied. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

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 |

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 Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

9st 2lb |
He has contested this race for the last four years, with form figures reading 1626; mostly running with credit this term and he narrowly prevailed at Newbury (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 3lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive under Billy Loughnane; player. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

8yo whose losing run goes back 18 races to July 2024 but he's often run well in the meantime, including on his last two starts; each-way player. |

4th 7 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |

Doubled his winning tally when beating four rivals (including Too Much Trevor) over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago; only 2lb higher and may be the one to capitalise if Prefer The Sister runs below form. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Resurgent 4yo who won an apprentice handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago and she didn't get much luck when a close second at Chepstow last Wednesday; 2lb higher here but she remains well treated on old form and is strongly respected. |

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. |

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. |

Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |
