1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Missed 2025 but is making up for lost time and completed a hat-trick of 5f handicaps at Salisbury (good to firm) 11 days ago; thriving and may not have reached her limit just yet. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Missed last season but has come back an improved filly and now bids for a 5f hat-trick after classifed/handicap wins, latest at Leicester (good to firm) seven days ago when beating Dreambird Dolly by just over 1l; respected under 5lb penalty with further progress possible. |
9/4 |

1st 2 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off 19 months before this season; her second race back (seventh attempt overall) was her best when off the mark at 25-1 in a classified at Southwell (5f, AW) and in quite taking style too, so she needs a second look despite her handicap mark having been revised upwards in a major way. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her only win from 26 attempts came in a 0-50 classified at Leicester (5f, good) in June; runner-up in handicaps on three occasions since but she was disappointing over C&D last time. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win came in a classified event at Leicester (5f, good) in June but she's been involved in two tight finishes over this C&D and ran another good race at Windsor recently under Rossa Ryan; likely player. |
4/1 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Mainly running well since winning a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (5f, good) in June, but just 1-24 and may again find one or two too good. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Triple course winner who made all when scoring at Windsor (6f) and Brighton (5.3f) last month; well held in his hat-trick bid here last week but he couldn't dominate in that Class 5 event and remains well handicapped on old form; looks interesting on this drop back back in grade and he's versatile ground-wise. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two 6f wins on this course (good to firm) in 2025, with varying tactics; in good form and although he had the run of the race to a certain extent when holding Dreambird Dolly at Windsor (5f, good) last time he remains with some handicapping scope despite going back up 3lb. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Stuck on a losing run but has never been lower in the ratings and latest fourth of ten at Sandown was in a higher grade; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18, but he has dropped to an attractive mark and has won twice and been placed five times from 12 starts over C&D; one to be interested in. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back in much better form, having won a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) in clearcut fashion last month then finished a neck second in Bath handicap (5f, firm) last week; enters calculations despite still having a modest strike-rate. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will. |
15/8 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 29 starts was at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August 2024; ran respectably in a classified event there (5.7f) two weeks ago but this looks tough on the figures and others are preferred. |

9st 3lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in June last year and now 12lb lower, but his five efforts this year (including three for this yard) don't suggest he is ready to take advantage. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |

5f AW win at Newcastle in February when trained by Brian Ellison (cheekpieces first time); well beaten in three runs for new yard but the addition of a visor could give her a lift. |
25/1 |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win in 23 starts came in a handicap at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in February when trained by Brian Ellison; drops to this level for the first time, but has been well held in both starts for this yard and attempts this far for the first time; cheekpieces return. |
