23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and second at Bath (5f, firm) next time; the track may not have suited at Brighton last time and he could bounce back with a big run. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Running well in turf handicaps this summer, following his success at Windsor (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) with a good second (winner gone in again since) at Bath (5f, firm) two weeks later; up in grade but could well have more to offer. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt (first in cheekpieces) when keeping on strongly to win at Windsor 15 days ago (Danger Alert fourth and Over Spiced fifth); up 5lb but still unexposed in the context of this field. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot. |
9/4 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Tough 5f performer, holding his form well; close third under regular rider Chloe Lyons at Windsor on Monday; should give it his best shot again. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since spring 2023 and absent since finishing down the field on final start for George Baker in May; on another career-low mark for stable debut, though, and won't mind what the weather does; swaps cheekpieces for first-time eyeshields. |
10/1 |

9th 5 (13) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Regularly performed well since her Bath win in May; not got much in hand of this mark but still likely to be on the premises. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four 5f turf wins for this yard in 2025 and in good form this summer, doing well to get as close as she did from the widest draw at Chester two starts ago; however, she's 0-5 on the AW and it may be significant that she hasn't run on sand since March 2025. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

In a good run of form and did well to threaten from the widest stall at Chester last time (5f, good); player. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Won over C&D last November but has failed to match that level since and doesn't appeal. |

4th 5 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in the second half of 2025, including here (5f); mixed bag in 2026 but he is capable at this level and shouldn't be discounted; stable also run Real Gold. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was well held at Salisbury last time but he looks interesting on his third in a Newbury handicap (6f, good to firm) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was at this track. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come over 5f but he has won three times over 6f, including around here; held lately, but he drops to this level for the first time in over two years and is 4-9 in 0-60 handicaps or lower; interesting. |
7/1 |

11th 11 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |
