27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good) in June and here (7f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts here on his last two starts (including C&D) but 1lb out of the handicap today and may again be vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hold-up performer who has won two of his last four starts including when swooping late over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he had a close call on soft ground here last autumn; respected. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who has turned a bit of a corner in blinkers, finishing fourth at Southwell (AW; under Harry Vigors) and then nearly winning at Epsom 22 days ago (both over 7f); strongly considered. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June; three solid efforts since, including over 7f at Epsom last month, and is respected returned to this shorter trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained her breakthrough when dropped to 6f (from 8.3f) at Newmarket (good to firm) in June and ran at least as well when running-on third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month; slightly disappointing on latest outing but still considered on this move back up to 7f. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when third at Leicester last time but she finished well and that was an eye-catching effort; still unexposed as a sprint handicapper and has claims if she gets a good pace to aim at. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he was back on the scoresheet here (7f, soft) yesterday when keeping on well; returns to 1m today; this progressive 3yo has to be respected under a 6lb penalty. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Appreciated ease in grade and justified favouritism when scoring over 7f at Epsom (good to firm) in July; creditable fourth there (7f, good to firm again) five weeks ago; probably acts on good to soft; enters calculations for in-form stable. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Appreciated ease in grade and justified favouritism when scoring over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago, his ninth start; subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and further progress is possible; shortlisted. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Opened his account when winning at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he's posted two respectable efforts since, including when racing alone at Leicester (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; below his best on his only previous try on the AW. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Belatedly opened his account at Epsom (7f) in July and not disgraced with fifth of nine in another 7f handicap there 25 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago, opening his account at the 12th attempt; subsequent 3lb rise does not look excessive and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) for Robert Cowell last autumn and he is thrown in on that form; mostly not at his best since joining this stable but now drops into class 6 company for just the second time. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW (6f) for Robert Cowell last autumn and he is thrown in on that form; not at his best for new yard this year and hopes rest on the return to sprinting reviving his fortunes. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-7 for new stable this season; outran 28-1 odds when placed at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and is now 4lb below that mark but his more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Generally disappointing this season but seemingly aided by cheekpieces on last two outings, more recently when fourth of nine at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month; another 2lb lower here; each-way claims if he responds well to the new blinkers. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was 1-16 when winning a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW); hasn't kicked on from there and yet to get overly competitive in handicaps. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
1-16 shot when he won a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW) but he hasn't kicked on in three handicaps subsequently and it was a heavy defeat at Newbury 19 days ago; drop in grade with first-time cheekpieces the straws to clutch at. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
All six wins have come at this trip, the latest when making all to win well at Brighton (good to firm) in June; took a step back in the right direction when fourth in a Class 4 over that C&D one month ago; interesting on this drop in grade. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who scored comfortably at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago on second run back from a long absence; open to further improvement at this level and warrants respect. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well-connected 5yo who showed signs of ability as a 2yo but missed the next two seasons; just 4-1 to make a winning yard/handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month but he never showed, albeit not disgraced; clearly thought capable of better; has possibilities. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well-bred 5yo; showed promise as a 2yo for Richard Hannon (three runs; 6f-1m) but makes stable/handicap debut after mammoth 1,059-day absence; market helpful. |
10/1 |
