3rd 3 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has a patchy profile, but she added to her Kempton win (1m4f) in April when scoring at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; was always well positioned in that slowly run race but she remains feasibly off her revised mark and is still lightly raced on AW; in the mix. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Caused a 40-1 surprise at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April in a first-time hood (kept since) off 2lb higher than today; ran creditably at Yarmouth (good) next time but below form since, which gives others more appeal. |

Caused 40-1 surprise off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April but has been below that form lately, including when last of seven in similar race to this over C&D on Thursday. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden but he posted his best effort when second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; jockey dropped his whip) last month; claims if building on that but he's struggled in two starts on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Latest start, his sixth, was easily his closest finish but that fourth of six in handicap at Lingfield (back down to 1m2f, good to firm) was still low-level form and he needs much better. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a classified event at Yarmouth in July and he's been in the first three in each of his five starts since, including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m4f, good) 11 days ago; cheekpieces now return and he should be in the thick of things again. |

3rd 2 (5) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a classified event at Yarmouth (about 1m4f) in July and he's been in the first three in each of his four starts since, including when beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good) nine days ago; consistent sort and he remains of interest. |
4/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |
6/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has done most winning on turf in the summer, including a hat-trick last year; it's a push to say he doesn't stay this far but his best efforts have come over a bit shorter and he's always likely to hamper his chances with a slow start. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Several creditable efforts in defeat this year but he has been more prolific on turf than AW down the years; may have to make do with more minor money. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All six wins on turf have been on good to firm, the most recent coming at Chepstow last July; narrowly denied at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July but below best following a habitual slow start at Windsor two weeks ago; still considered. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins came at Nottingham (1m2f) in July last year, but has been unplaced in all ten outings since despite a declining mark; down another 2lb and headgear is removed, but probably best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won two in a row at Nottingham (1m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; out of sorts this term but this sort of trip (attempted just the twice, ran well once) could be something to clutch at, as well as another career-low mark. |
7/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row at Nottingham (1m2f, good/good to soft) last summer but she's been out of sorts this season and failed to beat a rival at Nottingham last time; now 8lb lower than for her last success but she needs to turn things around. |

8st 12lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one over 1m here; that's from 25 races and he's not done much this season; this trip is a big new move but he has been well held in his three 1m2f races. |
25/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Two wins in September 2024 included one here (7f, good), but losing run now up to 14; drops to this level for the first time, which offers one ray of hope. |

8th 11 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |

Yet to get his head in front but he got back on track with third of 11 in 1m2f handicap here eight days ago; more is required from 4lb out of the handicap though. |

3rd 11 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
12-race maiden; regularly placed since moving into handicaps, including when beaten a short-head over 1m4f here (good ground) in July; too free when disappointing at Windsor since; ground a query. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Modest form on turf and AW, still a maiden after 11 races but his latest defeat was by a nose in a ten-runner handicap at Chester (1m4f, good); placed in five of his eight handicaps and, although he has his quirks with high head carriage, no surprise if he is in serious contention. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
11-race maiden (four races on Flat) who was tailed off over hurdles in March 2025 on his final run for Lucinda Russell; that's 504 days off and he has plenty to prove; the hood worn on last six starts is removed. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Seems to have learned to settle better on recent outings and kept on well for close fourth (just behind Willie Shake Hands) over C&D (good to soft) last month; slightly disappointing at Ayr since but still considered. |
