18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 16 despite a declining mark, but his second of three behind an improver (who has gone in again since) at Newbury (2m, good to firm) last month wasn't a bad effort; shortlisted. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not been firing on all cylinders this season and was beaten over 14l when fourth of five at Lingfield (2m, good) last month; continues to slide down the weights but needs a revival. |

On a losing run and the switch to blinkers (retained) on his last two starts has not seen any upturn; others appeal more. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles last year before losing his way in that sphere; 0-6 on the Flat and has enough to prove back from four months off. |
10/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back from wind surgery and the blinkers returned when a length winner at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; 3lb lower) just before Christmas; those aids are reapplied after last time but still not certain to be as good again. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f on the AW this year; didn't convince with his stamina for this trip when third of seven at Lingfield last month and his record on turf is 0-12. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took him a while to get off the mark, but has won three times over 1m4f on the AW this year including one here (under Jessica Llewellyn); back off his last winning mark and holds each-way claims if seeing out the new trip. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some creditable efforts this year, including when fourth at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June, but he's without a Flat win since 2023 and was disappointing when favourite at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) last month; cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Without a Flat win since September 2023, but is now 4lb lower than when third of 14 in a stronger race over C&D in April and drops into 0-70 company for the first time; much respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |
2/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |

5th 6 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not seen in 401 days, but she defied a 1241-day absence when making a successful stable debut on turf here (2m, good) in July last year; has twice finished runner-up on the AW and worth a second look; jockey having his first ride under rules. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a bumper on turf here in 2021; first win since was at Lingfield (2m, good) in just her fourth handicap, doing it smoothly from off the pace under Liam Wright despite an absence of more than three years; it's five days this time but she has form on Tapeta and has to be in serious calculations. |
7/1 |
|
1 (8) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Southwell bumper in 2021 and subsequently placed in two AW novice events but soundly beaten in three handicaps at 1m6f and 1m4f since and returns to action for new yard after a three-year absence. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
10-71; sits 5lb below last winning mark (2m, Kempton) but has been struggling for form lately; weakened when 14l fifth to today's rival Fabled Spirit at Lingfield (2m AW; 9-2) latest; others more obvious. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Was attempting this far for the first time on the Flat when third of eight at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) at the start of the month, but only fourth of seven back there (1m4f) six days ago; worth another go at the trip and holds each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Cattrick (1m4f, good) in April off a mark 3lb lower than today's and he caught the eye finishing strongly into third here over 2m a week ago; the drop back in trip doesn't look an obvious plus on that evidence but has to be respected. |
