2nd 4 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Looked as good as ever when holding on to win from the front at Bath (5f, good) this month; also suited by this C&D but managed only fifth on her next two starts and might remain vulnerble off a mark this high. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win on May 4; came up shy under a penalty at Windsor one week later (race won by Correspondence) but she can race off 2lb lower today; should run her race but it won't be easy trying to dominate in this field. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Did well for Grace Harris in 2025 and she has continued the good work this time around, getting off the mark for the year with a game win at Bath last week (5f, good); has a penalty to shoulder but she is well drawn and should make another bold bid. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 18 starts but that came off a 2lb higher mark last summer; raced freely on his return to action 16 days ago and dropped away in the straight; likely to last longer today. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a fair mark on last season's best, including a 5f win at Windsor in June; absent 172 days and he'll need to be cherry ripe to take this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-16 but wasn't running badly until last week when well adrift of Recon Mission on the AW; probably not the percentage play. |

Eight of his nine wins have been on turf but he was comfortably held back on the grass here two weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though. |
7/1 |
|
5 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; on dangerous mark but has bit to prove again after that last run and she's now 1-26 in handicaps; visor removed. |
11/2 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten favourite on AW last time; only 1-25 in handicaps, compared to 2-5 at classified level, but has done her winning on turf and holds a fighting chance in this field. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Has won four times over C&D but has shown little in four starts since returning from a 685-day absence last month. |
25/1 |
|
7 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner who finished second in this race in 2022; came back from a 685-day absence at the start of this month and that run, alongside the two that followed, don't suggest he's retained that old ability; risky at present. |
33/1 |
|
7 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time C&D winner; well handicapped on old form but returned from long absence with two low-key runs this summer, more recently when last of seven over 6f here on Thursday; visor refitted; revival needed. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-20 now but had ground/trip excuses for his three below-par runs in September/October and returned from break with fairly respectable fourth of six in Lingfield classified on Wednesday; not out of this if that recent outing has brought him on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
19-race maiden; out of sorts when last seen, albeit there were mitigating circumstances on his last three outings; others look safer. |
25/1 |
