3rd 10 (12) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |

8th 7 (2) |

9st 7lb |
Picked up for 25,000gns in February and emerged from midfield to make a successful debut for George Baker over 1m3f on the AW; impressed with his attitude that day as he was under the pump early enough; raised 4lb; 0-4 on turf and unraced on ground slower than good. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has won three times, including here over 1m3f in February off a mark 5lb lower than today's, and he was beaten only a nose by Must Believe here in May; didn't quite get home here over 2m last month and will be suited by this drop back in trip; has claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained a first success at Southwell (1m3f) in November and has added two more AW victories since, including over 1m3f here; not disgraced with fifth of 15 at Newbury (1m4f) last time and well in the mix if his stamina holds out on his first run beyond 1m4f. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
AW record since November reads 12112 and he was beaten a nose at Kempton 11 days ago; however, his record on turf is 85000, including a tailed-off run at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last month, so there are loud warning bells today. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Two good runs when third at York and second at Newbury (both over 10.5f) for today's rider on last two starts; interesting, although stamina not guaranteed on first run at beyond 1m3f. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was creditable third of 14 under Harry Rimell in stronger race than this at York (extended 1m2f, good) last month; good chance off same mark here, assuming he handles the faster ground. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f winner on good ground at Nottingham in April (4lb lower) but has dropped his guard the last twice and he's been contesting Class 5s, so this demands a fair bit more even if back in the groove. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner (1m2f/1m4f; good to firm/AW); respectable fifth of ten here over 1m3f in May on his first start for 433 days but he was below his best at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June; needs to bounce back on his first start since. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dead-heated at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November 2024 and he was runner-up over that C&D last February; showed he retains ability when fifth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on his first start for 433 days last month and may come on for it, although this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored on seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) and has gone close on last two appearances; drew nicely clear of the others with next-time-out winner at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last month and is only 2lb higher here (due to go up another 2lb soon) but needs to prove himself on the faster ground. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Salisbury in May and improved again when second since at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); versatile tactically and made the running last time; raised another 3lb but looks set for another bold show. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 3 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Second of five last term in his only race on good to firm; won at Salisbury in May and improved again when a close second at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) in June; the Goodwood winner scored again next time but this 4yo has been raised just 1lb and is heading the right way; big shout. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely but built on his reappearance effort when winning at Salisbury (1m4f, good) 27 days ago, posting a career best; unexposed over 1m4f and he's considered off this 4lb higher mark. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French 5yo who is far from solid on his British form (Flat/hurdles) and remains best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is on the way. |
25/1 |
|
3 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |

Won in France at two; modest hurdler for current team and hasn't been finding life all that easier back on the Flat. |
33/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9.5f winner in France as a 2yo, but he's been poor over hurdles for current yard and was well held back on the Flat here (1m3f) 16 days ago; overall record is now 1-14 and he needs to turn things around back in trip. |

Her Kempton success (1m3f, Polytrack) in July came in a race run at a crawl; still 3lb higher and out of the frame in three starts since; others preferred. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |

Winner off 3lb lower here last month (1m3f); firmly put in her place at Lingfield since, including by a load of 3yos latest. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to winning form in a slowly run apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month and probably didn't stay 1m5f here five days later; new mark has now kicked in and she looks vulnerable to younger legs. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 over middle-distances on turf for Jim Bolger last year but made the frame on five occasions; changed hands for 32,000gns in October and makes her stable/AW debut after 200 days off; market useful. |
10/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Has been consistent in defeat in five maidens up to this trip; might have found the ground too testing when a bit below her best at Listowel last time; prominent racer needs a bit more but likely to be involved. |
7/1 |
|
11 (3) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
9st 3lb |
Has made the frame on all three starts; solid form but does not seem to be improving on the evidence of recent third at Galway. |
