6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from a break with an all-the-way win under James Glennon at Lingfield (7f, good) in June and he's fine at 1m; however, he's finished merely seventh on his last two starts and has to raise his game. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time winner (7f/1m) at a lower level, including when he comfortably made all at Lingfield (7f, good) at the start of last month; 50-1 when he made no impact in this grade at Sandown three weeks ago, however. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came at Vichy (7f, very soft) when trained in France; has returned to form since having the headgear removed, finishing runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to firm) on two occasions, including when narrowly ahead of Great Blasket last time; makes the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and he blew the start here two runs ago, but with the visor left off (same today) he returned to form with a good second over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; can be in the mix if backing up that latest run. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Made all for an emphatic win on turf here (7f, good) in May but her form has nosedived at Kempton and Epsom in last two starts; now only 4lb higher than for that last success but she needs a major revival back in trip. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained this season's win at Lingfield (7f, good), where she was allowed to dominate against the favoured nearside rail; also suited but this C&D but ran poorly on Polytrack ten days ago and would appeal more on slower ground. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't progress for Andrew Balding and he hasn't offered a great deal in three runs for his new stable either; would have finished closer at Wolverhampton 19 days ago had he enjoyed a clear run but still looks vulnerable; drop in class a plus at least. |
8/1 |
|
8th 12 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; made a low-key stable debut in April (6f) and was pulled up (lame) on turf the following month; back up in trip here; not the most obvious answer. |
50/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 H Key Lails, 7/2 Oj Lifestyle, 5/1 Amused, 6/1 Here I Bow, 6/1 Super Hit, 8/1 Tronido, 4/1 Eduardo Calderon, 10/1 Uniter
Verdict
Most of the field have something to prove and it looks a race to tread carefully with. Here I Bow is a potential reviver now dropping in class and tackling forecast softer going but UNITER, who has been doing late work in 7f handicaps on his last two runs, may be worth chancing back up in trip.[Paul Smith]
