1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |

2nd 5 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's and he's posted some good efforts since, including when fifth of 18 in a 0-80 at Ascot in May; beaten about 3l when sixth at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and now drops in grade. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Resurgent 4yo who won an apprentice handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago and she didn't get much luck when a close second at Chepstow last Wednesday; 2lb higher here but she remains well treated on old form and is strongly respected. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner who's been on the downgrade for some time and is on a losing run of 18; remains consistent enough but, like stablemate Marisitta, has a job on with Arnaz on the same terms as last Sunday. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Be An Angel didn't get the best of runs when this gelding was hot on her heels here last month; found wanting in a classified race since then; looks vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner who was beaten only by two necks when third in Class 5 Chepstow handicap (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; also suited by this C&D and commands respect on first dip into this basement grade. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps best known as a Chepstow regular but this track also suits her; yet to win this season but has been placed three times (5f/7f) and her current mark is workable; no surprise if she features. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f AW scorer in 2025; has twice failed to build on an encouraging reappearance fifth at Windsor though, soon ridden when fifth of seven in 6f Chepstow handicap last month; lots more is needed. |
9/2 |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won over C&D two years ago but hasn't kicked on from an encouraging reappearance and looks vulnerable unless he can buck his ideas up. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
C&D winner; shaped quite nicely at Windsor on his seasonal return but he failed to build on it at Ffos Las 17 days ago; others appeal more for the win. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |
20/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) and Chepstow (good) last August; may have needed last month's return at the latter track (7f, good to firm), but this trip looks on the sharp side. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seems happiest on Tapeta, albeit he's a course winner, and has still to prove he's up to this mark on turf; two poor efforts this summer, after a break, leave him some way down the pecking order. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |
8/1 |
|
14th 9 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |
