24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |
7/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart. |

9st 11lb |
He's on a career-low mark but has finished down the field on his three starts since making an encouraging return to action at Ripon in May; needs to turn things around. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won 5f Ayr handicap off 6lb higher in May last year (5f, good to firm) but mainly disappointing since, including on last two starts; bit to prove at present. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps best known as a Chepstow regular but this track also suits her; yet to win this season but has been placed three times (5f/7f) and her current mark is workable; no surprise if she features. |
7/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Achieved one of her best RPRs when back from a break at Thirsk last April (runner-up; 6f, good) and when starting out for George Baker following a break at Kempton in November (6f; won when sporting this headgear combination for the first time); not quite so effective in two runs since but yard is now red hot; respected; withdrawn after showing reluctance to post at Salisbury recently. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark. |

Five of six wins have come here at distances between 1m and 1m4f; well held last twice and takes a marked drop in trip and yard seemingly have a stronger contender in The Liffey. |

Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |
20/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) and Chepstow (good) last August; may have needed last month's return at the latter track (7f, good to firm), but this trip looks on the sharp side. |

Has won only once, over 7f, during 25-race career; does have form at 6f but hasn't offered much in two runs after wind surgery. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Sole win from 24 starts came at Brighton (7f, good; from 9lb higher) in May 2024; generally disappointing for this trainer, weakening on first start since wind surgery at Ffos Las (7.5f, good; beaten over 7l) 32 days ago; 3lb lower. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always prominent when belatedly off the mark over C&D in June and probably performed to a similar level when beaten 2l off this figure at Leicester; after steering clear of 6f for so much of her career, it's now looking a good fit. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (11) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
23-race maiden when she turned up for a handicap at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago but she won that seven-runner race, always prominent; that was a clear career best and it's striking that it was her first race at short of 6f; big player if the form is backed up. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Be An Angel didn't get the best of runs when this gelding was hot on her heels here last month; found wanting in a classified race since then; looks vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner who was beaten only by two necks when third in Class 5 Chepstow handicap (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; also suited by this C&D and commands respect on first dip into this basement grade. |
