31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Acts on all ground and returned to winning form over C&D (good) in June; well behind the winner in all four starts since, though, and has plenty to find from 10lb out of the weights. |

8th 6 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All three wins at about 1m, most recently over C&D in June (good; has won on good to firm), but his form has taken a turn for the worse since, over 1m (on two occasions) and 1m4f; has plenty to prove; usually wears aids but not today. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Seems to go on most ground and made it 21st-time lucky with a short-head success from The Bureau Club over C&D this month; 4lb out of the weights so 7lb higher, which may be enough to anchor him. |
12/1 |

1st 7 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Good 2yo form; remains a maiden after 20 starts but he's fallen a long way in the weights and, at odds of 4-1, was a clear second over C&D 55 days ago; considered. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo but hard to place since and remains a maiden; found his level again of late and would be suited by ground softer than good, having been inclined to lug left round Bath the last twice; shortlisted. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have come on turf (5f-6f) but he has run well on AW on his last two starts (1m/7f); drop back in trip demands he's sharper at the stalls but he is a major player all the same. |
3/1 |

Spent most of his career running in sprints but has been fine with 1m lately, latterly when chasing home a subsequent winner at Kempton; fairly treated now back in form and is one to consider. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sprung 40-1 surprise at Newcastle (1m AW; from 2lb lower) in June; runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f) the following month, but less competitive at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Ffos Las (1m; dwelt) on last two starts. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

The winner of two 1m handicaps, on Newcastle AW and here on heavy; capable of going well back at 1m, having raced too freely over 1m4f last time. |
6/1 |

Running consistently well in recent months including winning a handicap at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; yet to attempt this far, but still one for the shortlist down to this level for the first time. |

9st 6lb |
Three-time course winner over 1m on good or faster ground, but was successful from 8lb higher on heavy at Bath (1m) a year ago; an extra furlong may suit him best, but still respected from an an attractive mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
The winner of three of his six C&D starts (good and good to firm), all in July or August; well treated these days and he looked on the way back when hampered over 7f here in July and he again didn't get the clearest of runs over C&D nine days ago; solid contender. |
6/1 |

In a good run of form when winning this 12 months ago and returns after a close third here over 7f; nothing wrong with his mark. |

April's C&D handicap win reads well; not in the same form since but returning to classified company, where she's 1-2, should help. |

6th 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Couple of valid excuses since a Bath win in the spring; there was a poor effort on Tapeta last time but she's capable of popping up back on turf. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale. |

Sole win came over C&D under Millie Wonnacott last September; had the odd ground/trip excuse since and was messed around in the closing stages at Chepstow last time; chance. |

7th 9 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second at Bath in the spring before appearing not to see out 1m2f on latest outing (not for the first time); last autumn's win (good to soft) came off a similar mark and it wouldn't be a shock were she to pop up. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

1m win here last September off a 2lb lower mark; two respectable runs here last month and stepping back up in trip can help; each-way chance. |

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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact. |
16/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner last June (soft) off a 4lb higher mark; wants a good test over this trip but is capable of bouncing back, having been given an 11-week break since a couple of lesser efforts in Tapeta 0-50s. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; set good pace and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April, after a long layoff, but was well beaten in a recent Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm); back up in trip here; remains tricky to weigh up. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap. |
