29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likes a strong pace to chase and won in spite of that here 12 days ago, enhancing her good record at the track; just 2lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over C&D last month; went agonisingly close in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (again 6f on good to firm) 19 days ago and although back up 2lb today, it's not forgotten that she went close in this race last year off 6lb higher still; big shout if she can find the gaps in coming from off the pace. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Lost chance by blowing the start last time; prevailed narrowly off 1lb lower in Class 4 event over C&D (soft) in June but needs to prove he has the required quality at this better level. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent but he won at Goodwood (7f, soft) in June and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last time; his career-best performance came when winning easily over C&D (good) last June and he's an intriguing candidate back here; capable of playing a leading role. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |

5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |
10/1 |
|
9th 16 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now. |

10st 0lb |
Best results for Ralph Beckett, from whom he was picked up for 35,000gns last autumn (gelded not long after), came on the AW; new trainer 3-7 with runners here but an easy 6f looks a bare minimum, especially after such an absence; market useful. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Five-time winner after 32 starts so he's exposed, but he was in a good vein of form when last seen in the spring, and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Started life in bumpers but won at Lingfield (novice) in January and Leicester (handicap) in April on his first two attempts at 6f; creditable third at Brighton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and he may build on that, as it came after four months off; could have more to offer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 over this trip, having started life in bumpers, off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester in the spring; that came after a three-month break, which bodes well back from four months out, but this is tougher over an easier 6f. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
One win from five handicap runs, when making all over 7f at Haydock last summer; looked capable of finding some improvement when a never-nearer fourth of ten at Epsom (7f) in June on second run back from a layoff, despite not handling the track; acts on Polytrack but unraced on Tapeta. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his seventh win, at Salisbury (6f, good) in May off 3lb lower and has performed with credit on his last two starts; cheekpieces return although he has never won in them; has won off higher marks than this and should run his race. |
11/4 |
