8th 7 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Made most when winning at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in April but he didn't see out that trip so well in handicaps after and the return to 1m, with a tongue-tie added, was a better fit for him at Windsor recently; still has potential despite 6lb rise. |

1st 5 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Easy winner of a Bath novice (1m2f, good) in April but he's been disappointing in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he has hung right a few times and he needs to find more progress. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; back up 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and could be a big factor again back up in trip. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a poor strike-rate over the last two years but is in form, placed at Windsor (1m) most recently; back on last winning mark; fighting chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
A suspicion that 7f might suit him best but after starting slowly he did keep on over 1m at Newbury last time, albeit some 9l off the winner; the handicapper knows all about him. |
13/2 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Holds his form well and wasn't beaten far into fifth of 13 here (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago (Nakaaha 3l behind in sixth); has won twice over this trip, but a suspicion that 7f suits him best. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who raised his game to win a steadily run, seven-runner race at Newbury (good to firm) three weeks ago when upped to 1m2f, always prominent; back up 3lb but may have more to offer at the trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) last October and has run with credit in handicaps over 1m/1m1f since returning in April, without looking ahead of his mark; this return to a longer trip may help, but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m novice winner at two and then gelded; slow starts weren't helping matters this season but raced in touch last time at Lingfield (1m1f) and they all bumped into an improver; could go well. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Came good at 11th attempt from off the pace over C&D in June (3lb lower) and the steady pace wasn't beneficial when last of the four at Epsom; consistent in the main. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Largely consistent filly who came good at 11th attempt, with win from off the pace at Windsor (1m, good to firm; second a next-time-out winner) last month; only 3lb higher here and likely to play another major role. |
15/8 |

1st 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Generally consistent maiden whose efforts over further of late suggest she may show improvement for this return to 1m; possibilities off a reduced mark in third handicap attempt. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two 1m wins in May 2025, at Newmarket and Haydock (both on good), but he hasn't found his form since back in Britain in April, a further drop in the weights failing to produce more over this C&D in August. |

6th 3 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 7lb below his last winning mark; however, hasn't produced an effort of note since returning to Britain after a stint at Meydan. |

12th 14 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |

Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins include one on the AW at Newcastle last November; also won a handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; made all) in April but he's struggled on his last four starts; blinkers need to make a difference. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
The season started well but this front-runner has dropped away tamely in his last three races, albeit strong handicaps; this might not be so challenging and could go well if getting any freedom up front. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer. |
