31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No problem if the ground eases further having won on soft ground over C&D in June, but he is just 2-38 and has a mountain to climb from 13lb out of the weights. |

3rd 8 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Sole win from 23 turf starts came over C&D in June; two good efforts in his next two course starts (on good and good to firm) but his finishing effort was muted over C&D nine days ago; in the thick of it on the earlier form. |
7/1 |

9st 5lb |
C&D winner on soft ground in June and has continued to run well, last time back over 7f and just ahead of Ajrad; another solid candidate to consider. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish (1m1f winner in 2024); running for this yard since December and the odd piece of that form gives him a shout, including penultimate start but that was on soft ground; below form sole start on firmer than good. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish winner; hold-up performer who finished well for second behind Scarfo off his much-reduced mark at Chepstow (1m, soft); needs a strong pace and he has major claims if he gets one. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in August 2024 when trained in Ireland; has tumbled down the weights since his British debut in December; is a hostage to fortune as he tends to be held up and requires a fast pace to be seen to best effect. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
12-race maiden but she's been placed a couple of times at Chepstow (1m) this season and may have had stamina issues when upped to 1m2f last time; seems versatile ground-wise and has claims if she can bounce back with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 and has stamina to prove over this new trip but scores good marks for her consistency in handicaps at up to 1m this season; a possible. |
12/1 |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two runs here include soft-ground C&D defeat of Bobby Dassler in August; also landed a pair of 1m AW classified events at Southwell in March and wasn't disgraced returned to turf handicaps on his last two starts; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) in March but he's been well held back in handicaps in his last two runs; didn't run badly at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in April but that took his turf record to 1-18. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but he was a close third under a prominent ride in a classified event at Bath (1m, firm) when last seen in early July; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's ideally suited by slow ground |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

This veteran hasn't tasted success for nearly three years; he ran okay over C&D two starts ago and when sixth at Ffos Las last week but more is needed. |

Both wins came in 2024 when trained by Charlie Johnston; has lost her form and is now with her third trainer since; pulled up here (bled from the nose) on penultimate start; first headgear today. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one over 1m here; that's from 25 races and he's not done much this season; this trip is a big new move but he has been well held in his three 1m2f races. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one here (7f, good), but losing run now up to 14; drops to this level for the first time, which offers one ray of hope. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |
10/1 |
