Came from rear to win at Goodwood (5f, good; cheekpieces removed) in May and is now 1lb lower but has barely beaten a rival in three runs since; the cheekpieces are now back on; leap of faith required to support him. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark in Britain with a ready win at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in July; met some trouble at Goodwood later that month and still looked in form; each-way shout. |
8/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ex-French; didn't get the best of runs when pipped by Seven Questions here in May and overcame some bother in running to go one better at Doncaster last time (5f, good to firm); 4lb rise is fair and this sort of race should suit his style. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
She hasn't won yet this year but has run a series of good races, including over C&D; sliding down the weights but stable may hold stronger claims with her brother All Ways Glamorous. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Hasn't won at Ascot but she has run several good races at the track; as good as ever this year and she should be heavily involved at the business end of the race. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Likeable 8yo mare with a consistent record and ten wins to her name; as good as ever when third of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last month, keeping on gamely; should go well again off 1lb higher. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Winner at Ripon (5f, good) and Windsor (5f, good to firm) this season; acts on soft, but hasn't run up to his best on three previous starts here. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner who isn't too fussy about the ground; had a quiet spell for last trainer but has taken advantage of a handy mark for new yard this year, winning twice over 5f, and he looked to be still in form at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 (7) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of short-priced defeats this year, often for Oisin Murphy; no question he's fairly handicapped back on the AW (goes well here) but he's become something of a professional loser. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win of the year but he has run some good races, including a second of seven at Sandown on penultimate start; Ryan Moore booked but others may have this 6yo's measure. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Scored five times last year, including last two attempts in Class 5; far from solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may prompt a resurgence off a reduced mark; market support would heighten interest. |
9/2 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year but hasn't come close to the same level in 2026; well handicapped (despite being 2lb out of weights) but leap of faith needed. |
33/1 |
|
19th 15 (22) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year and although he hasn't been at his best in 2026, his handicap mark is tumbling; will be of major interest back on testing ground but the drying forecast isn't optimal today. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Southwell winner who offered a bit more back there early last month; handicapper eased off, following a barren spell on turf, but he's pulled hard more than once over this trip, including when wearing a hood (missing again tonight). |
7/1 |
|
12th 3 (12) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago and is now another 1lb lower; however, he needs something extra and is just 1-16 on turf as opposed to 4-14 on AW. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (12) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Four course wins, the latest off 2lb higher over this trip in February; found valuable series final at Windsor too competitive last month but he's of interest back here, despite his wide draw. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A three-time 5f winner in 2025; well below par first two runs this season but much better signs with fourth of five in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 26 days ago, fading only late on; well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark. |
20/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all from the same stall when winning off 2lb lower over C&D last autumn; not at her best during a light campaign this time and will need a career-best effort if she's to end a dry spell for her yard. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Returned to form in first-time blinkers (retained) with close third at Southwell (5f, AW) three weeks ago; worth a second look after that but he's inconsistent and unproven on soft/heavy ground. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D win late last summer came off 6lb higher; he's proven patchy this season but the handicapper's given him a chance should the first-time blinkers (has worn cheekpieces once before) have the desired effect. |
8/1 |
|
15th 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; won four times last season and went close at Beverley this May; not far away three times in a row this summer (not so good on latest start) and creeping down the weights but others are now a bit more persuasive. |
