1st Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; won twice on turf in the first half of the year but he ran poorly at Hamilton six weeks ago; revival needed. |

Bids for a hat-trick after wins at Beverley in May (5f, good to firm) and Ayr in June (5f, soft); up 11lb (5lb rise for last win); each-way chance. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner this season (5.5f/5f); needs to bounce back from last month's below-par Carlisle run but this mark is not beyond him and he should be fine back on Tapeta; swaps blinkers for refitted visor. |
9/1 |
|
8th 10 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |
13/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In fine form since joining Robert Cowell and made it win number three for the stable at Sandown (5f, good) in August; good second at Bath (5f, good to firm) since; ran well on soft ground last July on the last occasion he tackled slow turf; entitled to respect. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

Yet to win on turf and needs to improve on his sixth over C&D last time (good to firm). |
13/2 |

6th 5 (10) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His three wins have all come over 5f but he stays 6f well enough; others look more appealing for win purposes all the same. |

6th 7 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple sprint winner who added two more at Bath (on firm) this summer; has course form here too but he made life difficult for his rider over C&D last month and his heart may not be in it back on this track. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (16) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't help himself by racing awkwardly last time at Brighton but has won on his last two visits here, latterly under Owen Lewis; hard to call him well handicapped but, like many in here, he has each-way claims. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
In good form with successive second placings in the summer, and it was an agonising head defeat under Serena Brotherton at Yarmouth (6f; rider dropped stick) last month; yet to shine in six starts here but he's back on that Yarmouth mark and is fine at 5f. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Perhaps hindered by racing on the far flank of the field over C&D last time; knocking on the door otherwise of late and remains 6lb below last winning mark; not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today. |
