19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Course regular who won this race last year off 4lb lower; won again over C&D in January and secured a third success when bagging Lingfield handicap (7f, Polytrack) in April; now just 1lb higher after three lesser efforts and he's not readily dismissed. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and latest was over C&D in April; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in both subsequent runs (AW/turf) and needs to rediscover his spark. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Low-mileage 4yo, who has form figures of 223 this season and that latest third was a bold bid in a Ripon handicap (1m2f, good) last month; still has scope for further progress and he's respected on this drop back in trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has a patchy profile and was well held at Brighton last time, but he made it 2-4 at Epsom when scoring over C&D on his penultimate; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
4/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bounced back from below-par run with narrow win at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month and remains well treated after subsequent 2lb nudge; high on the list. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Only seen once since leaving Andrew Balding 18 months ago, when well held last October; won his novice over C&D and the hood going back on should help but it's hard to know whether he's still up to this sort of mark. |
12/1 |

9th 8 (4) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins for Andrew Balding last year, a Lingfield novice (7f, Polytrack) and a Ffos Las handicap (7.4f, heavy); makes his stable debut (same owner) after a year off with the hood removed; watch market. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Generally disappointing this season but seemingly aided by cheekpieces on last two outings, more recently when fourth of nine at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month; another 2lb lower here; each-way claims if he responds well to the new blinkers. |
9/1 |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was 1-16 when winning a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW); hasn't kicked on from there and yet to get overly competitive in handicaps. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
1-16 shot when he won a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW) but he hasn't kicked on in three handicaps subsequently and it was a heavy defeat at Newbury 19 days ago; drop in grade with first-time cheekpieces the straws to clutch at. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |
