7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; ran creditably in a better race at Brighton two weeks ago and is still in form; minor money perhaps his best hope all the same. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (12) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |

8st 13lb |
Pulled hard on his first two runs back from wind surgery (7f) and was much happier being allowed to stride on when easily winning an apprentice handicap over C&D last Sunday; no penalty and he can only look well treated now back in the groove. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on fast and soft ground and she's effective at up to 1m; just one win from 27 starts but that came at this track (6f, good to firm) in June and she was runner-up here on her penultimate run; could be in the mix back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in June (drop to 6f helped) off 5lb lower, who finished best of the rest, and just ahead of stablemate Some Nightmare, behind Arnaz here nine days ago; will do well to turn that round on the same terms. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always prominent when belatedly off the mark over C&D in June and probably performed to a similar level when beaten 2l off this figure at Leicester; after steering clear of 6f for so much of her career, it's now looking a good fit. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran who arrives in good form, most recently finishing second of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago; each-way shout off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner who's been on the downgrade for some time and is on a losing run of 18; remains consistent enough but, like stablemate Marisitta, has a job on with Arnaz on the same terms as last Sunday. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 and he failed to beat a rival in 6f Windsor handicap last time after a very slow start; not one to rely on. |
8/1 |
|
12th 5 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15, albeit with competitive form off higher marks; easily best show this season was his Chepstow second on penultimate start; tried blinkers latest and now reverts to last season's cheekpieces; his yard won this race last year and a case can be made but others are more compelling. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 but has competitive form off higher marks and was runner-up over 5f here two weeks ago; won't be hindered by returning to 6f and blinkers might give him a lift. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Having slipped down the weights he got off the mark for his new stable at Ffos Las (6f, good) 16 days ago; that was a 0-50 classified event but he still has handicapping scope and should be in the thick of it. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 6f winner in 2025 for Ivan Furtado; largely below par for his current yard this season, including when fifth of seven in 6f Chepstow handicap 18 days ago; not out of things at these weights if on his A-game though. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Nutted on the line when backed at Ffos Las 12 days ago (6f, good) and gets in off the same mark, which is very favourable on peak form. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The fitting of cheekpieces saw her get off the mark for the season at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July; finished second in two of her four runs since, including when blinkers (retained) were given a go at Brighton 19 days ago; tongue-tie now enlisted. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
With blinkers belatedly back on he finished off best over 5f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago when they didn't hang about up front; fair shout off 4lb higher should he be as good again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |
7/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only won a Chelmsford 5f novice in 28 starts but well handicapped on best form and he was only 2l away over this trip at Nottingham a month ago (good to firm); has new handling this afternoon but should run well. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

6f winner on turf and over 5f on the AW; has never been lower in the weights and ran okay in a classified last time. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f AW scorer in 2025; has twice failed to build on an encouraging reappearance fifth at Windsor though, soon ridden when fifth of seven in 6f Chepstow handicap last month; lots more is needed. |
9/2 |
|
7 (1) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won over C&D two years ago but hasn't kicked on from an encouraging reappearance and looks vulnerable unless he can buck his ideas up. |
