25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has won a couple of Class 4s this year but looks vulnerable in a race of this nature, especially after a tepid last run. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Hindered by a shortage of room at Brighton last time; has won at Goodwood and Newmarket this summer but faces a stiffer task off current mark upped in class. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Showed career-best form when leading close home at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month and has now won under Oliver Carmichael on two of his last three outings; ought to cope with the undulations here and can make his presence felt again. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort this term when going close at Newmarket on penultimate outing; has a record of 2-2 in autumn months (0-10 otherwise) and those 2yo wins (heavy/good) included a valuable pot over 7f at York; this may be the time to catch him. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Heavy-ground 2yo maiden winner who came from a tough position to win valuable final here (7f, good) last October; hasn't kicked on this season but he returned to his best with close second of six at Newmarket last month (1m, good to firm; ran minus a plate); worth a second look given his course form. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two of her three wins have been over this C&D, the most recent in a steadily run race 26 days ago, form that has since been franked by the second; now just 3lb higher and is considered, but stall 13 doesn't make things easy for this prominent-racer. |

1st 4 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark when winning at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last November and followed up over this C&D next time; only 2lb higher than for that most recent success but he faded into fifth behind Starlight Time here 16 days ago; each-way claims. |
7/1 |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a pair of AW wins, the second coming over C&D off 5lb lower; the handicapper has been in command this year but he's not discounted back on AW. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Winless this year and only 2-36 overall; however, a repeat of his recent third in what looked a stronger race at Newmarket (1m1f, good) would see him on the scene. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has an overall strike-rate of 2-35 and winless this year despite the odd respectable effort; he'd be a surprise winner against rivals who have greater scope for improvement. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three turf wins at about 1m, coming home strongly to see off Cristo at Salisbury in May; acted on this surface in sole course start when involved in a tight finish over an inadequate 7f in 2025 and he looked to be running into form at Leicester recently; interesting. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (3) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a spell where his strike-rate was respectable, culminating in success off 2lb higher at Salisbury in May; subsequent lack of consistency makes him a difficult one to call. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four wins at about 1m (all on good ground), seen to best advantage with the stiff test at Salisbury in May; has more to prove on what he's shown since and although he might be better for having time off since last seen in July, this easy 1m asks a question. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored off 1lb higher on her reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW; stays 7f) in April but her last two runs contained little encouragement; handicapping case to be made but she needs a revival. |
50/1 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Reappeared with a 6f win here in April but she's not come close to that form since and was tailed off at Newmarket last month; now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs a big turnaround. |
25/1 |
