31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer; arrives on the back of a Brighton win (5.3f, good to firm) last week, form boosted by the runner-up's win on Friday; took this race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark; lots to like but the suitability of ground slower than good is still to be proven. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back on his last successful mark (AW) and wins at Epsom and Chepstow (both on good ground) last summer suggest today's course should be fine; won't mind the return to 5f, either, having been pestered in front last time, and is one to consider. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |
13/8 |

1st 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2024 but he's posted three solid efforts since returning from an 85-day break, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton eight days ago; switches back to turf with good claims. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has won two of her last three on the AW, taking overall record on synthetics to 6-14; last time she dictated from the front at Wolverhampton (4lb lower); seemed to handle turf fine in three previous attempts, though not on ground this slow. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promise on turf last summer and has made good progress on AW since November, winning five times here (three over today's distance); came up short over C&D last month and the handicapper may now have her measure. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and he came in a below-par seventh of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; yet to score on turf too. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |
5/4 |

2nd 9 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |
12/1 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here. |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |
