28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace in April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) in June; tongue tied first time in the latter and again on latest start when always prominent to prevail by a neck in something of a bunched finish at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); a different 5lb claimer takes over today; back up 2lb but looks an each-way player. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won two of his first four starts before missing the second half of last season; made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace this April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) on latest outing; tongue tied first time in the latter; 5lb rise sees claimer Mason Paetel recruited; leading player. |

Won two of his first four starts, including at this track on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); both runs this season have been respectable and he could take a step forward with a tongue-tie added. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Maiden winner who is 0-13 in handicaps; has a reduced mark and competitive this term, including over C&D, but others are preferred for win purposes. |

2nd 3 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Maiden winner who is 0-12 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and ran respectably in a Class 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can find something extra and he won't mind what the weather does. |

3rd 8 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won a Brighton maiden and 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield; subsided rapidly to be last of six in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm; 33-1) and no show at Epsom (1m4f, soft; 100-1) in the Derby itself, but he returns to handicaps here on what looks a pretty good mark. |

10th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Brighton maiden and 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield; however, he ended last season with last of ten in a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) and subsided rapidly to be last of six in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm; 33-1); his owner is renowned for Derby contenders who have run well at big prices, but hopes for this one may be stretching it. |
200/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
It was a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) which saw his progress arrested as a 2yo; his improved form to win a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, AW) on reappearance came by a neck off a mark of just 80 and although the runner-up has won twice since, this race clearly demands big improvement. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Looked good in her 2yo win (1m, AW) for Paul Attwater and came from last to first when the 18-1 outsider of six on seasonal, stable and handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) nine days ago, asserting in good style despite carrying her head a bit high; up 9lb but probably has more to give. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Hooded on all three runs last season for Paul Attwater and looked promising in victory and defeat (all at 1m); this is a big ask on handicap debut after eight months off, but opening mark looks fair and she's bred to stay this new trip; one to keep an eye on. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All three wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming over 1m2f at Lingfield in April off a mark 1lb lower than today's; has been running well in recent starts and was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) two weeks ago; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been running well in that sphere this summer; remains feasibly treated off 1lb lower than for his Lingfield win (1m2f) in April and he's respected back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-24 on turf but he ran well to finish second behind an unexposed improver at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-11 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; accelerating down the weights, which gives him a chance on this year's form even, but others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-10 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; edging down the weights but the jockey here on penultimate start reported that he hung badly; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-9 for this yard after beating one home on his return to 1m2f at Windsor 18 days ago; on the plus side, this bigger field might be more to his liking and in two previous visits to Sandown he's finished first and third; no surprise if he went well under Oisin Murphy, under whom he was fourth in last year's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (on soft). |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle last week; Flat form this year features Newbury success that completed a 1m4f Class 4 double; however, faces a stiffer task off current mark in this grade. |

1st 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Showed promise when making the frame on all three hurdle starts last winter; won twice on the Flat during the summer following wind surgery and looks sure to make his presence felt back hurdling. |
7/4 |
|
15th 11 (15) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better. |
