4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his near miss at Lingfield (7f) in December; not at best in two runs back from a break but the type to come good again soon; perhaps that will be in a race that will feature fewer pace influences than this one. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
His second run for this yard saw him shape nicely in a C&D handicap in July; failed to back it up at York 17 days ago; has a point to prove now. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
He had started to become disappointing but returned to form with a close fourth at 100-1 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month on his second stable start; he'd have been closer with a clear run and could be in the shake-up if he gets the breaks. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Positively ridden when going close over 6f at Southwell before a disappointing run upped to 7f on turf (soft); not clearly well treated for this handicap debut but may yet do better. |
7/1 |
|
9th 6 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging fourth on debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and close second at Southwell (6f, AW) later that month, having led; he wasn't stopping at the line last time and 7f may well be within range; might not be far away. |

All or nothing of late and did too much too soon at Wolverhampton 26 days ago; rather watch in this company; course debut. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Did well to defy a high draw here two weeks ago, winning well; that took his form figures over C&D to 211; raised 7lb but this 3yo could deal with that. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11-time AW winner (mainly on Polytrack); ought to have been suited by the soft ground when well-held fifth at Windsor on Saturday, after a break, and might find younger rivals better handicapped here. |
12/1 |

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

Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good) in April but finished last over that trip on next two outings, having raced too freely; gelded during subsequent 12-week break and might benefit from this drop back in trip but still comes with risk; tongue-tie added. |
14/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Free-goer who followed a good effort at Newmarket's Craven meeting (7f, good) with a poor one at the Guineas meeting; beginning to look a difficult ride and on a retrieval mission here. |

Won 2yo maiden at Ayr last spring but well held in all three handicaps for new yard this year (remote last of four latest); can only be watched. |

9st 0lb |
Three ordinary efforts on turf punctuate four solid efforts on the AW, including when coming away with a subsequent easy winner over C&D off 2lb lower in the spring; may well be dropped in again from this draw and will be happier back up from 6f; one to consider. |
7/1 |

7f AW win last September; good second at Wolverhampton on his reappearance but he was a well-beaten third at Newmarket last month (7f, good); others look stronger. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
In good nick this summer for George Baker; advanced his form when a ready winner on his debut for Dylan Cunha in 14-runner apprentices' handicap over C&D 11 days ago; escapes a penalty here so holds leading claims with Billy Loughnane now up. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (10) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
New trainer decides against the cheekpieces (and regular tongue-tie) that worked well for this 4yo in his last two races, when he had the outside stall at Kempton and raced wide throughout at Wolverhampton (again over 6f); C&D winner with a good chance. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

By no means certain to give his running, having proved inconsistent for current yard; however, won off 1lb higher on the other Newmarket course in May and has a fighting chance on that form. |
10/1 |

11th 5 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Has an inconsistent profile but scored off just 1lb lower at Newmarket (6f, good) in May; cannot be ruled out. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |
9/2 |

8th 6 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |
