Ran in a Class 2 on penultimate start and in good form otherwise this year, including here; solid chance. |

Kept on to beat Risen Again at Chepstow last month and faced a tough task back there 13 days ago in a Class 2; usually gives her running. |

8st 7lb |
Doubled her winning tally on turf over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago, but will need to improve again to defy a 4lb higher mark and she does look best on a faster surface. |

9st 5lb |
Only 1-26; had lost his way but back to form with two seconds, latterly behind Rating at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); should feature and has run well in the reapplied blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Alice Haynes that includes a fast-ground C&D win but has not been competitive on any of four starts for new stable this season (cheekpieces refitted last time); considered only if lively in the betting. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-7 at Ffos Las but has been placed here; won at Chepstow (1m, soft) in June and excelled when third of 16 from a long way out of the weights in a valuable series final over that C&D (good to soft) next time; not so good over C&D (soft) six days ago, however, and his overall strike-rate is 2-40. |

4th 1 (7) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on soft ground at Chepstow (1m) in June and excelled himself when third from a long way out of the weights in valuable series final over that C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb lower here and commands respect in current form. |
3/1 |

3rd 17 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No problem if the ground eases further having won on soft ground over C&D in June, but he is just 2-38 and has a mountain to climb from 13lb out of the weights. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner, most recently on heavy ground at Bath (1m) just over a year ago; not at his best this season but handicapped accordingly and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time course winner over 1m on good or faster ground, but was successful from 8lb higher on heavy at Bath (1m) a year ago; an extra furlong may suit him best, but still respected from an an attractive mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
The winner of three of his six C&D starts (good and good to firm), all in July or August; well treated these days and he looked on the way back when hampered over 7f here in July and he again didn't get the clearest of runs over C&D nine days ago; solid contender. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 15 runs since his last victory, but he posted a very good second of 16 (in change of headgear) in 1m Chepstow handicap 15 days ago; a player off the same mark with visor retained. |
11/2 |

2nd 10 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole win came in a four-runner Ascot novice (7f, soft) as a 2yo and has only made the frame twice in 12 starts in handicaps, but soft ground does suit him well so any further rain would be a positive; mark continues to fall and a visor is given a go; interesting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f novice at Ascot as 2yo; smart handicap form there (7f, soft) last September, when a close third of 12 in a much better race than this under Billy Loughnane, who rides him for the first time in 2026; not yet recaptured form for this yard but he's dropped right down the weights and this is his best chance of the year; cheekpieces refitted. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All five wins at 6f-1m, the latest at Doncaster in March 2024 off 20lb lower and now on a career-low mark; has dwelt at the start on his last two runs and first-time blinkers worn last time are retained; cannot discount but losing run is offputting. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |

9st 9lb |
Left Edward Bethell after two down-the-field runs in spring and was also soundly beaten on first two runs for new stable (7.3f/1m); dropped back in trip and tried in first-time cheekpieces today; has a lot to prove on first experience of ground slower than good to soft. |

7th 3 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who made an encouraging return from an absence on the AW (1m) last October but he hasn't achieved a lot since and was beaten a fair way out at Ffos Las in July on his yard debut; one to watch for now. |
25/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

No wins in eight; had placed form for Edward Bethell but signed off for that yard under a cloud; would have claims if he can turn a corner for new yard. |

9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb higher at Chepstow (1m, good) in June but in poor form since; suited by this C&D and will find this race easier than valuable series final he contested last time but still looks too risky. |
40/1 |

14th 16 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Acts on all ground and returned to winning form over C&D (good) in June; well behind the winner in all four starts since, though, and has plenty to find from 10lb out of the weights. |
50/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All three wins at about 1m, most recently over C&D in June (good; has won on good to firm), but his form has taken a turn for the worse since, over 1m (on two occasions) and 1m4f; has plenty to prove; usually wears aids but not today. |
