21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f wins this season but only four ran on the second occasion; put in his place at Glorious Goodwood last time but the return to 6f could prove beneficial. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Added to an earlier Windsor win when beating three rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; ran respectably in a less competitive C&D race than this in May but a tendency to get behind early is a worry in this big field and he's 3lb badly in under a penalty. |

1st 3 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has not had much luck and continues to give the impression that this mark, which is just 2lb higher than when winning at Windsor in the spring, is within range; another who tends to be ridden from off the pace and he wouldn't want a messy affair. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, third of four in 5f Nottingham handicap last month; more is needed despite a tumbling mark. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |

2nd 3 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been running well on turf since the visor went back on, winning at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in July and at Redcar (6f, good) 12 days ago; up 7lb and makes his Polytrack debut, but this sharp 6f should suit; shortlisted. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first success at Doncaster (6f) in July and recorded a solid fourth of eight in another 6f handicap there three weeks ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a neck over C&D in June; made amends the following week before his revised mark could kick into force, making all to fend off a pair of rivals who also raced far side early on in that contest; weakened quickly when last of four at Nottingham latest; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
