15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

9st 7lb |
C&D win last August came off 4lb higher but she's struggled since returned to turf, including back here earlier this month; hard to back her with conviction currently. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Placed twice on Polytrack this year (1m/7f); safely held on both starts since returned to turf but this is easier than the Sandown race she contested last month, and she's now 2lb lower than for last summer's C&D win; worth a second look. |

Returned to form when runner-up at Kempton (1m, AW) in May, but down the field at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) since and she's won just one of her 18 starts; needs to bounce back. |

Inconsistent filly who has raced mainly on AW; posted one of her better efforts when close third in Class 6 at Kempton (1m) last week but isn't guaranteed to back up the form. |

Won a 7f maiden here last May but she's 0-8 since and has form figures of 8000879 in handicaps; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Got the winning habit this season, winning narrowly four times, including here, and going 11lb up the weights; they all came in 0-50 and 0-55 company but it wouldn't be a shock to see him complete the hat-trick back from a two-month break. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Pretty consistent since the cheekpieces returned in November and the three wins in that period include 11-runner race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last time; back up another 2lb and has to be considered. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of two 1m handicaps, on Newcastle AW and here on heavy; capable of going well back at 1m, having raced too freely over 1m4f last time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in recent months including winning a handicap at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; yet to attempt this far, but still one for the shortlist down to this level for the first time. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

Both wins over 1m, at Ffos Las (heavy) last September and at Newcastle (AW) last month; finished second of six at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month and she is one for the shortlist off the same mark. |

Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |
14/1 |

12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Left Andrew Balding's yard (still runs in his colours) after two encouraging runs in early 2025; poor form this year and opposable despite his basement mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; had excuse when well-beaten 50-1 shot on last month's stable debut (saddle slipped) but his headstrong tendencies remains a serious worry. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he's generally struggled so far and was tailed off in a C&D handicap (40-1) in March; dropped another 5lb but he's with another new yard now and has plenty to prove; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces. |
