3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times in May-July (7f, good to firm/good); inconsistent since but she was a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Friday and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has the best pedigree in this field and she's 4-13 having won four 7f turf handicaps this year; better than ever when third last month and when below par at Epsom it was her first run on ground slower than good; has yet to prove herself on the AW but only had two attempts. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed all four starts here, including when the door swung open in C&D maiden (good to firm; made all) on her penultimate start; threw in a clunker at Chester 19 days ago but she'd been competitive in C&D handicap in July and it's unlikely this higher mark was the reason for last time's demise; not one to ignore. |
8/1 |
|
13th 10 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
She didn't need to improve on earlier efforts to win a 7f maiden at Catterick (good to firm) 16 days ago; well drawn but she has more on her plate back in handicap company. |
12/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in two of her four starts for this stable, including in a handicap over this C&D last month, but she was below her best having failed to settle at Epsom (6f, good to firm; unseated her rider on her way to the start) last time; needs to settle better returned to this longer trip but has claims back in a maiden. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of two of her six starts, the latest victory coming in a handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; similar form when fourth back at Newmarket three weeks ago; all turf runs have come on good to firm so she will need to prove herself under these conditions. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 3yo who added to her Southwell novice win when prevailing in a tight finish over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but that was a clear personal best and she showed a good attitude when it came to the crunch; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Raced only four times and may do better still; scored on AW as a 2yo and ran well, with tongue-tie fitted, in Catterick handicap (7f, good to firm) most recently; possibilities off same mark. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Modest strike rate of 2-27 but generally consistent; landed her first win on turf at Ripon (1m, good) in June and looks sure to run her race; holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and has continued in good form, drawn wide when third of 15 in 1m Thirsk handicap 18 days ago; that form is working out well so she merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice within three days in June (7f/1m, good) and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when last in action, though, and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won handicaps at Redcar (7f, good) and Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; held her form since but a career best will be needed to come out on top here. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 11 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded a quick-fire double on good ground in June (7f/1m) and she was a close-up third off this mark at Carlisle (7f) last month; probably didn't stay 1m1f last time but she'll still need a bit extra and soft ground raises a query. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won twice over 6f at this track but has winning form over 7f; hasn't been at her best on turf this summer and needs a resurgence on this return to AW. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Last-gasp winner on AW at Lingfield (7f) in February but she's struggled since and was last of six at Catterick two weeks ago; that took her turf record to 1-23 and she has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In good form on AW over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f); 1lb lower than for the latter win but she hasn't maintained her form back on turf this summer, including behind Velvet Rhythm over C&D 16 days ago. |
14/1 |
