30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Came up well short in series final (Class 2) at Windsor last time; knocking at the door otherwise this season but may ideally need a drop back in grade. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins since joining Tony Carroll, the latter in a small-field Class 4 at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in May; solid effort from a less-than-ideal draw in the Epsom Dash in June; slow start compromised his chance at Sandown but he couldn't be discounted off this mark. |

Two wins since joining Tony Carroll, the latter in a small-field Class 4 at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in May; solid effort from a less-than-ideal draw in the Epsom Dash in June; off since but he has run well after short break before. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner who isn't too fussy about the ground; had a quiet spell for last trainer but has taken advantage of a handy mark for new yard this year, winning twice over 5f, and he looked to be still in form at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 (7) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo; improved to win a 5f AW handicap in March and she has run to a similar level on occasions since; on a winning mark and the addition of cheekpieces could give her a lift. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (soft) on her debut last July, which was the start of a decent 2yo campaign; reappeared with a 5f AW win in March and back in form on her last two starts, a very good fourth of 16 in the 3yo "Dash" at Epsom in June followed by another fourth at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; now just 2lb above her last winning mark. |

8st 10lb |
Followed a Bath maiden win (firm) with an impressive return to handicap company at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in May; saddle slipped when down the field later that month and he's been gelded since; 7lb higher mark than at Haydock may not be too much to ask and he's one of the more interesting ones. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Course regular whose 16 starts here have yielded three wins and a further six placings; registered two good efforts either side of making all at Chester (5f, good) in July; not so good at Catterick last Wednesday but has won on soft and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Chester (5f, good) last month off a 6lb lower mark than today's and ran well there under a more patient ride next time; has form figures off 213 when ridden by Myla Coppins and has to enter calculations. |

15th 4 (9) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off five rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; at the top of his game but this asks a different question of one who has gained all six career successes in single-figure fields. |

Won at Chester (5f, good) in July and he's been a close second on his last two starts, most recently off this mark in a big field at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday; he's a very solid contender. |
9/2 |

12yo who recorded the 19th win of his career at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; however, he needs to improve upon his recent performances if he's to post victory number 20 this afternoon. |

All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
