28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |
5/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |
5/2 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell; however, it was a winless campaign and he failed to threaten at Yarmouth in April on his sole run this year; changed hands for 18,500gns last month and he needs to get back on track on this stable debut. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW scorer; 0-13 on turf but nearly prevailed in small field at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in most recent Class 5 attempt; remains well handicapped on peak form. |
14/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 2lb lower than when scoring on Tapeta at Newcastle (5f) in February and he did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace (started slowly); a rare Newmarket runner for his Scottish stable. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Can lead; four 5f wins since June (on good and quicker), including over this C&D, and the return to soft ground didn't count against him when going down narrowly at Ripon last time; back up 2lb; can go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who returned to winning form under Chloe Lyons at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; has won on soft) last month, but has twice been held off this mark since; needs a bit more; stable also runs Adalida. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who won a Lingfield AW novice last August; capable of winning off this mark and feasible excuses in last two races, on account of soft ground (watch the weather) and pulling too hard; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won a Lingfield AW novice last August; best effort in handicaps when second at Southwell (5f, AW) under Chloe Lyons (who partners stablemate Merrimack here) in April but well held back on turf the following month; off since. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who won a Lingfield AW novice last August; well held in her first two handicaps but ran well under Chloe Lyons when second at Southwell (5f, AW) 18 days ago; needs to back that up on this first turf race since second start. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D maiden on his first run for Michael Keady last summer; out of sorts so far this year but he is tumbling down the weights and now wears blinkers for the first time. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning start for this yard at Leicester (5f) last July but he's offered little in 5f handicaps at Lingfield and Newmarket this summer; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Leicester maiden (5f, good) on stable debut last July but has found it harder in handicaps since, including sixth of seven on Lingfield (turf) reappearance a fortnight ago. |
