9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a 7f AW handicap in February; two solid AW runs (6f) in July and he should go well back on turf; rain won't hurt his chance. |
8/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Rare winner these days but gives his running more often than not and was nearest at the finish over Ascot's 7f last time after starting slowly; deserves a break but one or two others appeal more. |
5/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has a poor strike-rate over the last two years but is in form, reaching the frame again at Newmarket (1m, good) last Thursday; back on last winning mark; fighting chance. |

4th 3 (3) |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form. |
4/6 |

1st 2 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Kempton when trained by Heather Main; yet to build on his debut for this yard but is now down to a career-low mark; steps back up in trip and cheekpieces return (worn once previously). |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D (good) in August; that was a narrow success but he's run two solid races since, including a close call at Leicester last week; looks interesting off same mark here and he's a key player. |
5/1 |

10th 14 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Found the drop to 5.3f against him last time and that was another in-form effort; high in the weights again, following two turf wins this summer, but fine on the AW and looks set to go well once more. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) twice last month; 0-15 on turf and she beat only one rival home at Sandown (1m, good) two weeks ago. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) in her last two runs; 0-14 on turf but she had some placed form at Windsor last summer and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; not ruled out |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) and Brighton (7f, good to firm) this summer then runner-up at Brighton (7f, good) when bidding for a hat-trick; he's back into a bigger field today but ran well in such a scenario at Ascot in May and this in-form contender might have a part to play. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable 5yo who was too strong for Dion Baker here last month and now bids for a hat-trick off 4lb higher; solid chance. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly in Class 6, including for 12 AW wins, the most recent in August; has remained in form on turf since; could go well but is no certainty to add to his tally, being 0-15 in Class 5. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific AW winner who is 2-25 on turf, most recently over this C&D in July 2024; creditable return to grass when second of 13 at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago but likely that more will be needed. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Kept on well to score at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, his 14th career success; doesn't often run on turf nowadays, though, and current mark is his highest since 2023. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to win this race by 6l on soft ground last year (Oj Lifestyle was third) and gained her sixth success when making virtually all following an awkward start over C&D ten days ago (Oj Lifestyle again third), returning to form following some poor efforts; suited by ease in the ground and she has good claims under a 5lb penalty despite being 2lb wrong. |
9/4 |

1st 6 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran away with a C&D handicap on soft ground last September; also won by a wide margin at Lingfield (7f, good) in May but she has struggled since; dangerous mark again now but not the only pace influence in this field. |

9st 2lb |
Has gained all eight of her wins over further (6f-1m); finished off well to be beaten around 2l over 5f on the AW at Lingfield 97 days ago; returns to turf having been off since and will need a good pace to aim at. |
