1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has often made the running and gave it a good go on his return from ten months off early last month before cracking over 6f; built on that, again at Brighton, last time (5.3f) and is drawn to attack on his AW debut (half-brother to a Tapeta winner). |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won in maiden and handicap company over 6f when a 3yo; expensive to follow last year in handicaps but ran some good races, and again from the front in a 6f Class 4 here last month on return from an absence; might take a step forward from that and he'll be fine back in trip. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his maiden over C&D as a 3yo, returning from eight months off, which is a positive after a break of ten months; expensive to follow in handicaps last season, following a second wind op, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D (good) in August; that was a narrow success but he's run two solid races since, including a close call at Leicester last week; looks interesting off same mark here and he's a key player. |
5/1 |

10th 14 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Found the drop to 5.3f against him last time and that was another in-form effort; high in the weights again, following two turf wins this summer, but fine on the AW and looks set to go well once more. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won for a second time at Epsom (6f) before a near miss over 5f at Doncaster (off this mark); faced a stiffer task here last time when never in with a shout. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |
|
5 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Infrequent winner who missed last year but he returned to form when runner-up at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last week; that was eye-catching off a reduced mark and he has claims if he can back that up. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two poor efforts since returning from almost two years off and it's hard to know what he's capable of any more. |
