6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Last year she won a Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm) and Epsom handicap (extended 1m, good to soft); yet to make a great impact this season, but it was a Class 3 last time at Ascot; on a competitive mark. |

Won Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm) and Epsom handicap (extended 1m, good to soft) last year; only seventh of 14 on 1m Kempton reappearance but the fact she went off 15-8 favourite suggests better was anticipated. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |

Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

Won twice at 1m last summer and went in again at Bath last month (by just under 2l off 4lb lower); reportedly showing signs of heat stress when below par at Newbury four weeks ago. |

Two wins last summer, including one over C&D, and got back to winning ways at Bath (1m, firm) eight days ago; was already due a 2lb drop then so is just 3lb higher under her penalty (1lb well in); one for the shortlist. |

Made all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month and close second there since; also effective elsewhere (albeit unraced here) and he holds solid claims. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Fast-ground specialist who completed a hat-trick around this time last year and was back off his last winning mark when making all over C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; 2lb wrong under a 5lb penalty, but still respected now that he is back in the groove. |

9st 7lb |
Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, the latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) eight days ago; already due to go up another 3lb for that and holds leading claims. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three wins this year, the last two at Bath (1m/1m2f) in April and she's continued to look in good form, beaten a head at Salisbury (1m) on latest start; firmly in the mix if she adapts to this track. |

Was back off her last winning mark when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) ten days ago, doing very well to go so close following a poor start; should be bang there granted a cleaner break this time; stable also runs Nammos. |

Third run for this yard when belatedly off the mark over 7f here 13 days ago; that was a Class 6 so likely to need more, though Millie Wonnacott's claim takes away 5lb of the 6lb rise. |

Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge. |

Came good at seventh attempt, drawing clear to win comfortably by 6l in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f, good) ten days ago; 4lb well in under 6lb penalty here; obvious claims if suited by the new trip. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again. |

Beaten just over a length into third of six behind Kodi Fire over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago; didn't enjoy a clear run there and now 5lb better off, but her modest strike-rate is a concern. |

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. |

Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |
7/2 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Good 2yo form; remains a maiden after 20 starts but he's fallen a long way in the weights and, at odds of 4-1, was a clear second over C&D 55 days ago; considered. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Useful as 2yo but hard to place since and remains a maiden; found his level again of late and would be suited by ground softer than good, having been inclined to lug left round Bath the last twice; shortlisted. |

Added to his Ripon win last summer when justifying favouritism with a comfortable success at Ffos Las (1m2f, good; 2-1) last Monday; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he has form figures of 33511 at this trip; key player. |

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. |

Has done a lot of his racing at 1m and has often pulled hard when going further, including in the hood (back on tonight; tongue-tie comes off) but does stay this far; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and needs to leave two lesser efforts behind. |

Sole win from 23 turf starts came over C&D in June; two good efforts in his next two course starts (on good and good to firm) but his finishing effort was muted over C&D nine days ago; in the thick of it on the earlier form. |

C&D winner on soft ground in June and has continued to run well, last time back over 7f and just ahead of Ajrad; another solid candidate to consider. |

Betting Forcast
7/2 Revelance, 16/1 Talis Evolvere, 8/1 Nakaaha, 14/1 Kodi Fire, 7/1 Eutropia, 12/1 Spirit Of The Bay, 16/1 Auburn Avenue, 8/1 Thanos, 10/1 Rating, 14/1 Law Of Design, 16/1 Moonhall Lass, 12/1 Too Much Trevor, 12/1 Redhot Whisper, 16/1 Homeland, 10/1 The Bureau Club, 50/1 Bobby Dassler, 33/1 Scarfo
Verdict
A competitive final to this series, even if around a third of the field are out of the weights. Law Of Design (second choice) is likely to have his ground and is well worth considering off his reduced mark, while multiple course winner Too Much Trevor and 3yo The Bureau Club are also worth a second look. Revelance had four of these behind when making all over C&D last time and Ralph Beckett’s filly has had fewer starts than any of her rivals so far this year. However, SPIRIT OF THE BAY, who finished third behind her last time, is taken to reverse the placings given that she lost more ground at the start than she was beaten by. Softening ground wouldn’t be a problem.[David Bellingham]
