22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has returned from a break with three down-the-field turf runs, the latest here (6f, good to firm) eight days ago. |

Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester (5f, good) in his last two starts and is now 1-15 on grass; opposable. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Lingfield and Chelmsford early in 2026 but she's failed to beat a rival in her last three starts, back on turf at Brighton last time; hard to warm to. |
20/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Returns to turf for the first time in a year on a more sensible rating; issues at the start have been costing her of late and much will depend on how she gets away from the outside stall. |

Tough filly who took time to find her form again but won two in a row in early spring, over C&D (overcame a wide draw) and at Chelmsford (5f), and subsequent defeats came over 6f then very slowly away here in April; form claims. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner who is without success in over four years; went close over C&D in March when 3lb higher but needs to bounce back after being well beaten (6f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) at Chepstow latest. |

Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Last run was underwhelming but she was performing well prior to that in 5f/6f handicaps; on the downside, she's drawn quite wide on her first visit to this track. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (10) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a third AW victory of 2026 when prevailing at Lingfield (5f) in April and she posted another good effort when third of ten in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins include two here over 6f; runner-up here over 7f in January but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since and failed to beat a rival home on his only previous try over 1m; returns from three months off. |
16/1 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Fine on Tapeta but all his wins have come on Polytrack, including twice last spring at Chelmsford; still dangerous when dipping into this company but he's unpredictable now and 7f round here is enough of a test. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

3rd 7 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

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

Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath (good) last month; still looks on a workable mark but she's not easy to predict and was disappointing after a slow start at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; risks attached. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Scored three times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

5th 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
