31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |

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. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his record to 6-16 when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well below form in three subsequent runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs to get back on track |
8/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance but he's been below that level in both starts since, including at Newbury three weeks ago; drops in grade but others have stronger claims. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Got up late to win a 0-70 over this C&D in April off a 3lb lower mark but he was disappointing here in June following a break; needs to bounce back after two months off. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark for this yard with a last-gasp C&D win in February; a 3lb rise for that nose success leaves him vulnerable. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran away with a C&D handicap on soft ground last September; also won by a wide margin at Lingfield (7f, good) in May but she has struggled since; dangerous mark again now but not the only pace influence in this field. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well for second over C&D on his seasonal return in June and went one better at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 31 days ago; found little off the bridle when well beaten at Salisbury on Friday; would have a point to prove if turned out quickly. |
7/2 |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Returned from seven months off with a good second at Brighton and went one better at Sandown four weeks ago (both 1m on good to firm); 4lb rise manageable and Simon Walker a positive booking. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her front-running win at Newmarket (1m, good) last October, but she's been out of sorts this season and was last of six at Windsor last time; has something to prove and needs reapplied blinkers to make a difference back at this trip. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to be suited by combination of drop back in trip and return to turf, but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hold-up performer who has won two of his last four starts including when swooping late over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he had a close call on soft ground here last autumn; respected. |
5/2 |

1st 6 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Largely consistent 4yo who came from off the pace to win at Brighton (1m, good) in June; can be excused his recent defeat there (eased when denied clear run) but he's still on a fairly tough mark and this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on turf including three over C&D; well treated on her old form, but last win was two years ago and she's struggled in four of her five runs this season; down the list. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All eight wins have been on turf; her mark has been in freefall this year but she showed more in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second of nine at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; needs to show she can maintain that revival back on AW. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) in her last two runs; 0-14 on turf but she had some placed form at Windsor last summer and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; not ruled out |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist. |
