28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins (1m-1m4f) in the first half of 2026; last month's Ascot third was up there with her best form but she wasn't quite at the same level back down in class at Chepstow three weeks ago; drops back in trip with each-way claims. |

Turf wins this season at Bath (1m), over C&D and Leicester (1m2f); ran well from off the pace at Ascot 12 days ago (1m4f); her good campaign could continue. |

Both wins have been over 1m2f and latest was at this course last August; now 2lb lower but he's been well held in both runs this season and is untried at this trip; something to prove in another switch of headgear. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Running well this year, including a 1m2f win at Windsor (good to firm), but he wouldn't look to have much in hand off his mark; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D (good to firm) in June and was close third off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good) last month; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout. |

0-5 in Ireland last year and absent since heavy defeat in AW claimer in October; fitted with tongue-tie for this stable debut; others have much less to prove. |

Shown ability in maidens but last month's handicap debut over C&D was one of her lesser efforts and tough ask at the weights here. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both turf races on good to firm; some promise on handicap debut at Sandown over an inadequate 7f and he was better suited by 1m when a close third of five at Newmarket since; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls since but this stiff test should suit; open to improvement. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The addition of blinkers saw him spring a minor surprise at Bath (1m, firm) in April; not at that level on his last three starts, most recently when ninth behind Marsh Benham at Sandown last month. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won on reappearance at Bath (1m, firm) in April in first-time blinkers (retained); some respectable efforts since but needs something extra if he's to return to winning ways today. |

Nine-race maiden whose best effort was a third of 13 at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June 2025; opposable on subsequent AW exploits (visored in the last two races) and she's been off since February. |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; not hit top form this year but his latest Kempton fourth was better; stable also represented by Gone Rogue. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard. |

9st 4lb |
Seven-time AW winner (7f-1m4f) when trained in Ireland, latterly in a Dundalk claimer in March; has failed to make the frame in 13 starts on grass, though, hence his much lower turf mark; lots to prove for his new yard. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden whose best effort came when fourth of nine here over 1m4f in June (good to soft); however, he wasn't able to build on that at Southwell (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces. |
