29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn wide at Chester last time and had previously won narrowly at Chepstow (5f, good to soft), maintaining his good season; perhaps high in the weights now, though. |

Gained second win of the season at Chepstow last time (5f, good to soft) but now 4lb higher and has no easy task from stall 10. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed 9yo but in a consistent run of form and bang there on good to soft and good in his last two races; go back far enough and he has competitive form on soft. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran who arrives in good form, most recently finishing second of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago; each-way shout off the same mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best known as a Chepstow regular; yet to win this season but she's largely consistent and handles any ground; can make her presence felt under Oisin Murphy. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner yet to bag a handicap but she's threatened, as was the case when prominent throughout last time at Sandown; should run well. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly won a Catterick maiden (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October; in the frame all four starts for this yard, including when she chased home Zoustar Dreams at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July; not at that level subsequently, however, latterly when 6l adrift of Level Up 16 days ago. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Narrowly won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October and has performed with credit in four handicaps on good to firm ground since returning in May, the last three for this yard; return to a soft surface not a problem and should again go well for triple-handed stable. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple winner but she'll need to run better than she has in her last three races, and usually runs Chepstow well. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All five wins came over 5f/6f on the AW between December and May, but she put up her best effort on turf so far when beaten just over a length into fourth of 11 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; will have something to prove on the likely slower ground, though. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a fourth AW success of 2026 at Wolverhampton (6f) in May; she's yet to show that form on turf though, just seventh of ten at Goodwood (6f) last time. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the perfect reappearance/stable debut at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in May, but hasn't built on it in four outings since; needs a resurgence. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

0-5 for Richard Hannon; successful seasonal/stable debut at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in May but lesser performances have followed. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning seasonal/stable debut when beating Control Room by a head at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in May; below that form at Goodwood and Chepstow since and she needs to bounce back. |
6/1 |
