1st 1 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions. |

6th 5 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well on slow ground and was winning for the ninth time when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb worse off for a neck but does have a talented claimer booked. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded his sixth win when swooping late to justify support at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but remains feasibly treated on his best form and two of his wins have come on Tapeta; key player. |
15/8 |

1st 6 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time winner; yet to strike in 2026 but he retains all his ability and only went down narrowly behind Zambezi Magic at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb better off for a neck today; one of the likelier ones. |

9st 5lb |
No win on turf since successful over C&D (good to firm) in July 2024; losing run up to 12, but 4lb below his last winning mark and has won on soft ground; shortlisted. |

3rd 6 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Irish challenger who is 0-10 under rules and finished well beaten on her hurdles debut last time, but her previous close fifth of 17 on the Flat at Leopardstown (1m1f, soft) makes her of interest. |
5/1 |
|
6th 11 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y |
10st 8lb |
0-9 on the Flat and rated just 54; not bred to make a jumper and is probably best watched on hurdling debut. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not quite at best on good to soft turf last month and now 0-5 this season but kept on well for third over C&D two starts ago and is now 1lb lower; holds obvious each-way claims if judged on that effort. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well on slow ground as she showed when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July last year, the last time she contested a 0-65; has continued to run well since then including when third of ten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago (winner has gone in again since); respected. |
3/1 |

3rd 3 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Dual 1m2f winner on ground slower than good; has performed just okay since returning from a break and whether she wants quite this far is open to debate. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it second-time lucky for her current yard when dead-heating off a reduced mark at Brighton last month; remains well treated on old form but she's hard to predict and was disappointing at Chepstow three weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and both wins have been at 1m2f. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has done well in two starts since joining this yard, dead-heating at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; clearly in good form just now, but has a 5lb penalty to carry and softening ground will pose a question. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goodwood novice winner for James Horton last spring who tumbled down the weights in Ireland this season; solid in the market for her new yard at Newmarket on Friday and that was a step back in the right direction. |
5/1 |
