23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made the frame at Doncaster last time but recent form suggests she isn't certain to back up that effort and it's over two years since her last turf win; goes beyond 1m4f for first time. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Good third in this race in 2024; her only win since that summer came at Southwell (1m3f, AW) this March but unplaced in her five starts since, failing to show much on her two this summer. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Wolverhampton AW winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell, a hurdles winner in October and back on the Flat with three good runs this year, when facing a very stiff task in Listed race on latest; unraced beyond that 1m6f on Flat but she's half-sister to a staying celebrity in Big Orange, which heightens interest. |
15/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Dual Wolverhampton AW winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell, a hurdles winner in October and back on the Flat with two good AW runs (1m2f/1m3f handicaps) this year; has a bit more to prove as turf performer on the Flat and also over this new trip, with a big step forward required at this level. |
33/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell and won over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) in October on her second start for this yard; caught the eye with a strong-finishing sixth of 12 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 22 days ago and will be suited by this extra furlong. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in February and in good form since, not seen to ideal effect when fifth of nine in 1m4f Goodwood handicap 19 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Tough mare who has been in good form on the AW since December (13341333), the wins coming at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) and here (1m3f); return to this trip should suit and unlikely to be far away. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strike-rate of 4-18; winless this year but perhaps found good to firm ground too lively on her latest start and she had been running well before then; tactically versatile and she's on a perfectly fair mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m5f, good) who went very close at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; she was last of five here (1m5f, good) last Saturday but was beaten just under 2l having led at a steady pace, and she's not ruled out. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win tactical race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in June and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when clear second to revitalised rival over C&D (good to firm) on Tuesday; commands respect. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month, but didn't match that form off the same mark at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) one week later; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces for last year's winning stable. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when narrowly coming out on top in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and is respected. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a six-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) in July; failed to settle and well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) later that month but could leave that behind back at Nottingham following a two-month break. |
5/1 |

7th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again. |
