31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to win this year but he has run several good races in defeat at this trip; the bulk of his racing has been on good ground or quicker so underfoot conditions could be troublesome. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten on his last 15 starts but placed over 1m4f/1m2f in three of his five races this term; has the form for another prominent finish and is claimer ridden for the first time. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended long losing run when successful in a 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield in April; ran well on his next two starts and when down the field on last month's return to action at Kempton (after 11 weeks off) it was in a higher grade than this; handles testing ground and has a good amateur booked; one for the shortlist. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a competitive handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April before being placed on his next two starts, but he was tailed off over this C&D in May; a 77-day break may have done him some good and he could bounce back. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable second in small field on penultimate start; successful over C&D (off 2lb lower) last July but wasn't in the same form returned to this scenario (behind two of today's rivals) in latest outing. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four Flat wins to his name, including over C&D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has unconvincing record in turf handicaps since going close in C&D maiden in May but seemed to run well when second of five at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) two starts ago; not ruled out on AW return. |
8/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A maiden after five runs but rebounded from disappointing handicap debut with keeping-on second of four at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in July and may yet have a bigger run in him; moves up in trip today. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |

Not disgraced at Royal Ascot (1m) on handicap debut but has failed to land a blow in lesser races since; chance partly depends on the effects of added cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

7th 13 (11) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Won a Thirsk novice over 1m last August; respectable tenth in the Sandringham in June before finishing sixth of ten at Ayr (1m, good) last month; still has stamina to prove for this trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-3 in Ireland; now 4-6 for current yard after prevailing narrowly in a small field at Windsor (extended 1m3f; last five races on good to firm); has another 4lb rise to contend with and this must be a stronger race. |
6/1 |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Irish filly who is 3-5 for current yard, all the wins coming on fast ground at Chepstow (1m2f-1m4f); won as she liked last week so could well make light of the penalty. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won from the front in handicaps at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and Thirsk (1m4f, good) in June; only third when 8-13 for a four-runner race at Sandown (upped to 1m6f, good) on latest outing but he was close up and that represented further progress in form terms; a more strongly run race at the trip would probably suit him. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |
7/1 |

13th 10 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred. |

Scored on the Flat for Tom Clover at Newbury over 1m2f last May; placed in both starts over hurdles, albeit tending to jump out to the left; should improve and looks the main danger to Mister Ursus. |
