3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
In new cheekpieces she won at Yarmouth in July and defied a 7lb rise on the July course (7f, good to firm); slower ground and the rise in class were feasible excuses at York, while last time at Ascot she was unfavoured by her track position; better can be expected here, though current mark could be an issue. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Cheekpieces did the trick when she opened her handicap account at Yarmouth in July and she defied a 7lb rise when winning another six-runner event at Newmarket (also 7f, good to firm) next time; up in grade when beaten 10l in a much bigger field at York a fortnight ago, but maybe good to soft ground was against her; same mark. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unproven on ground slower than good; 3yo filly who seems to have been well suited by dropping back to 7f in cheekpieces, landing a six-runner handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) and making all at Newmarket (good to firm) 19 days ago; another 6lb higher in this more competitive race but can't be dismissed lightly in her current form. |

Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

9st 10lb |
He's had a very productive year with five wins in the bag and yet still on a realistic mark; however, his latest run wasn't his best and he has never won over this far. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Had a fine summer with five wins and has a 4lb pull with Serenity Dream who beat him here last month; dropped to 6f in a better race last time he ran well for a long way; respected. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Back-to-back C&D wins in June but his last three efforts were nothing like so good; has to get back on track. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Struck form with two wins at Yarmouth (both 1m, good to firm) in June but two lesser efforts have followed (albeit denied clear run last time) and he remains on a tough mark. |

Slightly disappointing off this career-high mark when dropped back to 7f at Yarmouth last month but won twice over the straight 1m there (good to firm) in June and further progress is not yet out of the question. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in April but she struggled in handicaps on her next two outings; however, she ran well when second of eight over this C&D last week (good to firm) and has solid claims on that form. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Maiden win here (6f) on comeback in the spring, when 50-1, reads well enough; she's struggled badly in two handicaps since, however, and will need to settle better back up from sprint trips; has it all to prove now. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made a proper splash when going in at 50-1 on her reappearance in C&D maiden (good; third start) in April but contrasting fortunes when beaten 18l on her handicap debut at Newmarket 12 days ago; that was too bad to be true but does lower expectations somewhat. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner last winter, the most recent coming at Kempton in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's, and he took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Wolverhampton last time; has won over this trip and has claims. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive on the AW last winter, winning three times, latterly off tonight's mark; the return to Tapeta and drop back from 7f will help, with the visor experiment quickly binned, but he hasn't been in any form in three runs back from a break. |
