Can be slowly away but not last time when a cosy winner at Brighton (6f, good to firm); up 4lb but has competitive form off this sort of mark. |

1st 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |

Largely consistent mare who belatedly opened her account at Bath (5f, good) in June, her 19th start; also ran well when close third at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) on latest outing; shortlisted. |

In the frame in seven of his ten starts, including over C&D, but needs to find a bit more in order to break his duck. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

He went close at Thirsk (5f, good) in June and has continued to run with credit; raced on a different part of the track to the front pair when third last time and another solid effort looks very likely. |

Eight-race maiden but placed in 5f handicaps on his last three starts and he remains open to further progress; one to take seriously. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

All the better for wind/gelding operations; three wins this year include a C&D success and he was close up at Windsor last time despite a troubled passage; thereabouts. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All the better for wind/gelding operations, since producing figures of 3212131; it was by a narrow margin last time and the second disappointed at Chepstow earlier this week, but this 4yo only went up 1lb. |
5/1 |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form this summer and was only beaten a head by Faustus when bidding for a hat-trick over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; up 1lb and could do with the ground drying out a bit more, but still a major player in her current mood. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

In fine form this summer and bids for a hat-trick following 5f victories at Chepstow and Bath; up 3lb but not taken lightly in her current mood. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner (firm) who was third back over C&D on her reappearance in May and ran to a similar level back here next time; produced a career-best effort when winning a Chepstow classified event (5f, good to firm) latest; needs a similar effort to defy this mark back in a handicap but there are plenty of positives, including with her yard among the winners. |

8st 10lb |
Unplaced all seven starts; outran 50-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 in Bath handicap (5f, good) in June and was denied clear run when filling same position in Chepstow classified (5f, good to firm) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins (both on soft ground) from his 29 starts but he returned from a break with a close third of six at Ffos Las (5f, good) last Friday, and he could be in the mix off the same, career-low mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a bit better last time at Bath (good) in June and both his wins have come over 5f on soft ground, so conditions might well turn in his favour with rain around; fairly treated. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Having slipped down the weights he got off the mark for his new stable at Ffos Las (6f, good) 16 days ago; that was a 0-50 classified event but he still has handicapping scope and should be in the thick of it. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 6f winner in 2025 for Ivan Furtado; largely below par for his current yard this season, including when fifth of seven in 6f Chepstow handicap 18 days ago; not out of things at these weights if on his A-game though. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Nutted on the line when backed at Ffos Las 12 days ago (6f, good) and gets in off the same mark, which is very favourable on peak form. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Losing run stretches back two years but he finished well for third behind Recon Mission here recently after missing the break; each-way chance. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |

4th 6 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |

Has won here on good ground but appreciates it softer, as he showed when going close over 5f at Chepstow three runs back; he's considered off a good mark. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

2lb lower than for the latest of three wins last year, but this season's form has been patchy and the suitability of ground faster than good is still to be established. |

10th 1 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Scored three times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up. |

11th 5 (14) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
