19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |

6th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
In top form with 6f wins on last two starts, at Newmarket and Ascot, but they were both on good to firm and it's rare to see him on ground slower than good; needs new skills today but this mark shouldn't be beyond him, despite being 2lb badly in under penalty. |

Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but he's finished runner-up on his last three outings, including when dropped back to 6f here (good to firm) last Friday; races from the same mark and this previous course winner looks sure to be involved. |

9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) in April; close-up third of 17 in a handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) in July but failed to build on that back there 19 days ago; could bounce back returned to the AW. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7f AW novice winner; has contested two handicaps, last time showing the benefit of a gelding operation when a staying-on third of 17 over C&D in July (good to firm); respected with further progress very plausible. |
4/1 |

10th 2 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time winner who has been as good as ever in defeat this season, latterly with cheekpieces on for a visor at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; has won at 1m); has run well in his two previous starts at Ascot; respected. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

Both wins have been on AW (1m/7f) and latest was at Southwell in April; still 3lb higher than for that success but he resumed his progress with a bold bid over 7f at Kempton (second of 13) last time; pulled clear of the third in that race and he's respected back up in trip. |

2nd 10 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW. |

Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces. |

Six-time AW winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (7f) last December off a mark 5lb higher than today's; hasn't been at her best in recent starts but she's on a handy mark, and could go well if things drop favourably. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Out of sorts on turf in her last two runs, but six of her seven wins have been on Tapeta (including over C&D) and latest was off 3lb at Wolverhampton in December; usually comes from off the pace and she's one to keep an eye on back in this sphere. |

Dual C&D winner (also third last month) who made a successful start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable over 6f at Newmarket (good) 13 days ago, well on top at the finish and recording a career-best RPR; had the advantage of the rail but his 7lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim and his record here affords him respect. |
