10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front runner; finished last at Brighton 17 days ago but he's 2-4 at Epsom and has a big run in him, especially if let loose on the lead. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Keen-going front-runner who landed a second Epsom victory (also a C&D winner) when showing the right attitude to get back up late last month; won back-to-back races last summer and no surprise to see history repeat itself upped a fair 2lb. |
5/1 |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Placed off 3lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in May but not quite in same form on any of three subsequent outings, the last twice here (1m2f/8.5f); needs to up his game. |

2nd 5 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Managed only fifth of eight when upped to 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) two months ago and remains without a win since 2023; continues to edge down the weights but needs to turn a corner. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but losing run is up to 19 and the application of a tongue-tie made little difference last time; something to prove on his first attempt over this far. |
11/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran just four times last season and was runner-up on three occasions (7f/1m, various ground); down the field on reappearance at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago but may have needed that outing and it will be no surprise if he's in the mix; a tongue-tie is added. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner (all on good to firm); has finished third here on his last two outings, including behind Tronido over C&D ten days ago (good to soft), and in this race last year behind that same rival (soft; beaten around 7l); solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 1m2f and about 1m (good to firm and good) in 2025 but lesser pickings this year, over 1m2f on last three starts; has something to prove in first 1m run since dropping out at Brighton last August. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his wins at Bath (1m2f) and Epsom (8.5f) last year, but he hasn't threatened back on the Flat in his last two starts; needs to raise his game and it would be a concern if rain arrives (all wins have been on good/good to firm). |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Pretty consistent on the Flat and over hurdles this year and has dropped 1lb since his recent fourth at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm); visor (worn for last four races) is left off here; probably won't be far away. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who was well on top last week in a 1m2f Class 5 at Newcastle where the visor returned; back up 4lb in stronger company but he has won here and might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has posted some good efforts this season but is without a win since September 2024, and finished behind Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster last time; visor returns and he has an each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back. |
5/1 |
