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. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned over as far as 10.3f but proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when winning in clearcut style at Yarmouth (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; now that connections have found the key, she's open to further improvement; leading contender. |

Sole win from seven starts came in a Wolverhampton novice (8.5f, AW) in October; she ran well when runner-up in a handicap there in April but well beaten over 1m2f on turf in two starts since and now drops to 7f for the first time since her debut; cheekpieces applied. |

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. |

1st 2 (8) |
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 |

2nd 3 (2) |
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. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Resurgent front-runner who has collected five wins (three over C&D) this year; on fairly tough mark now and was soundly beaten at Newmarket on Friday but is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Front-runner who has won five of his last seven starts but all of those were in Class 6 events and he was only third of six when well treated under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last time; 6lb higher here and he has some work to do in this competitive race. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
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. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |
2/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Yarmouth specialist who turned things around with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) last week; only 3lb higher under a penalty and he's a major player again in his bid for a fifth course win. |

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. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his four wins have been over 6f on the AW but the other came over this C&D (good to soft); latest effort at Southwell (6f, AW) can probably be excused having had a wide trip but others are still preferred; steps back up in trip in a first-time visor. |
6/1 |
|
8th 9 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored three times at 6f on the AW over the winter; off for four months before a never-dangerous seventh of 14 in 6f Windsor handicap 26 days ago and should be sharper here. |
8/1 |
