26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won five times this year including his last two starts off his lower turf mark; closely matched with V Power on last month's C&D running and another big effort is likely; stable also runs Letmebetheboss. |

1st 7 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

7th 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won over C&D in April and he's finished second in both runs since including a close call at Kempton (2m; cheekpieces reapplied) in June; only 1lb higher here and he's a big player again back at this track. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Simply bumped into one on a rare turf start six weeks ago and returns to Polytrack off the same mark; cheekpieces go on for the first time in almost a year and his claims are obvious. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Defied this mark at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last autumn and he had a close call over C&D in January; only sixth of seven on recent Yarmouth reappearance but that wasn't a bad effort and he ties in with two of today's rivals on that form; not ruled out back up in trip. |
15/2 |

6th 4 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten over 1m3f at Windsor last August and otherwise confined to the AW; a winner on Tapeta (1m6f; 2lb lower) and was running well back in the spring; hard to discount. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in October and went close behind Forglen over this C&D in January; returned to form with 2l fourth to Forglen at Southwell (1m6f) a fortnight ago and may well be thereabouts. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a couple of handicaps earlier this year but beaten 25l and 13l on last two Flat starts; has another change of headgear with blinkers replacing a visor but has plenty to prove. |
11/2 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; better form when runner-up both starts since, latterly over 1m6f here on good to firm; should give another good account. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; beaten favourite but bettered that winning RPR when second (well clear of rest) at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; gets the vote. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |

8th 9 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who is 1-17 on grass and finished tailed off in a match last week at Chepstow; did run well the time before but that was on the AW; due a 1lb drop. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Only 1-16 on turf Flat and 5-25 on the AW, but latest return to form at Kempton (2m) bodes well for him giving Hope Rising something to think about. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

This year has been a struggle and his return from a break was a bit of a disaster when 80-1 and tailed off at Yarmouth (soft ground) three weeks ago; has a few questions to answer. |

Encouraging third at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month on third handicap start but down the field at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) since and he could do with settling better now up in trip. |

11th 9 (10) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran his best race so far when third of 12 in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) 26 days ago; that was a promising effort after a slow start and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (2) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Unplaced in two starts for Gavin Cromwell in the autumn and he's been well held in three runs for current yard; dropped another 5lb but he was never involved in a Southwell handicap (1m4f) last month and others are preferred. |
