8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in 2m course handicap (good to firm) under Mason Paetel in June, with reopposing Dereham 5l back in third; good third of 12 in competitive Market Rasen handicap hurdle (extended 2m4f, good) since; likely to go well back on the Flat. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |

9st 7lb |
Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All four wins at Lingfield, three on Polytrack and the latest on turf (1m5f) in June; beaten favourite on all three turf starts since but remains in form; may have more to offer back on AW. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; better form when runner-up both starts since, latterly over 1m6f here on good to firm; should give another good account. |

2nd 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; beaten favourite but bettered that winning RPR when second (well clear of rest) at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; gets the vote. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has done well in a visor for his new yard and he added to his Kempton win (2m) last summer when rallying well for a last-gasp success here (1m6f, good) last week; up 3lb but he pulled 6l clear with the runner-up last time and is a big player again back up in trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
2m AW handicap winner for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June; still early days with current yard and he has run well in a visor in last two races, at 2m and 1m6f; thereabouts. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5-42, his last three wins close to home on the July Course at Newmarket (2m); third to Regally Blonde in this last year and the handicapper is beginning to cut him some slack (back on last winning mark); vulnerable to younger rivals? |
6/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
10yo whose last three wins (in 2022, 2023 and 2025) came in the 2m handicap he contested here six weeks ago; could only manage 5l third to the reopposing Prince Quattro in this year's renewal; 4lb better off with that rival this time but it may not be enough. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap at Redcar (good) in June; creditable second of four over 2m there (good to firm) since, both under today's rider Cian Horgan. |

9st 9lb |
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap here last month; back up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards with this return to 2m a likely plus. |

Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre but has been giving no indication she's ready to take advantage. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Fairly useful at his best on the Flat and made promising start to hurdling career when clear third of 11 over C&D (good) last month; contender if able to build on that performance. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for Harry Charlton in 2024; not so good in that sphere for his current yard and came in last of six in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; hurdle debut. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l. |
