8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in 2m course handicap (good to firm) under Mason Paetel in June, with reopposing Dereham 5l back in third; good third of 12 in competitive Market Rasen handicap hurdle (extended 2m4f, good) since; likely to go well back on the Flat. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner although the latest of them came here (1m2f) in 2023; regularly in the frame, however, including when fourth at Carlisle (1m3f) last month and third over 2m at Catterick (also good to firm) a fortnight ago; capable of having a say. |
13/2 |

3rd 3 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came on the AW in 2023 (8.5f/1m2f); bounced back from a lesser effort at Ayr (1m7f, soft) when a 3l fourth at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last time but she is yet to fully prove she's effective at this trip; visor goes on. |

In good form until a below-par sixth of eight in 1m7f handicap at Ayr 20 days ago; the sort to bounce back. |

Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |

5th 4 (9) |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a 2m AW hat-trick over the winter and she posted another good effort with second of five in 1m4f handicap at Epsom in April; that form has been well advertised since so she's not taken lightly eased 1lb after a break. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |

Tailed off last time and was no match for the winners of her two previous races; has to raise his game. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Not as good this year and has looked to have no excuses in some ordinary handicaps of late; only 1lb lower than when well held over 1m6f here 12 days ago and Free World looks his trainer's best chance. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive. |

11st 2lb |
Didn't kick on once switched to the Flat following initial promise in bumpers for Brian Ellison; sold for 6,000gns since last run; out of a Listed winner over this sort of trip, but new yard does most of its winning in handicaps. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed in bumpers on his first two starts but he's yet to really threaten in this sphere; dropped 2lb since finishing down the field over C&D on his handicap debut 83 days ago and now has cheekpieces applied. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Record of 0-3 in bumpers and 0-3 on Flat but has bits of encouraging form; may show progress now handicapping, albeit it's needed to defy his opening mark. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford in May and followed up on the Flat over this C&D (good to firm); it's disconcerting he was pulled up on his chase debut at Stratford three weeks ago but he may well bounce back and play a leading role reverting to this code. |
10/11 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |

Won back-to-back 2m handicaps here in May of last year and those were off higher marks; however, recent efforts leave him with much to prove. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner last May, the most recent coming off a 7lb higher mark than today's; failed to beat a rival home here in May and he was pulled up over hurdles when last seen 52 days ago; bit to prove after those efforts. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip. |
