20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Unplaced on last two starts but hasn't run badly and he's 4lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good) in June; capable of having a big say. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Tough 5f performer, holding his form well; close third under regular rider Chloe Lyons at Windsor on Monday; should give it his best shot again. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Made it 2-2 for new trainer Robert Cowell when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) last week; effectively 7lb higher here but it doesn't look enough to stop him in his current mood. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prominent racer; three wins this year, including here, but put in his place by Secret Handsheikh 18 days ago; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away. |
13/8 |
