3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Running well in defeat on turf lately, as when chasing home an unexposed 3yo at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 2-4 on the AW and likely to run her race again. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Came from the rear to score on her reappearance at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May; best effort since when 0.5l second to Society Girl over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; same mark today. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Improved her record 4-7 when coming from rear to score on her comeback at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May; held in last three runs but she ran into two progressive 3yos in a Class 3 at Ascot last time; looks interesting on this big drop back in grade and she won in some tactical events last season. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All four wins on Tapeta, the latest from 2lb higher at Southwell (1m3f) last October; hasn't been shaping as if about to capitalise on her declining mark, though, and this trip looks right on the limit of her stamina. |
10/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time AW winner at up to 1m3f but she's disappointed in both starts this year; has dipped below her last winning mark, however, so can't be confidently ruled out tackling this trip for the first time. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has been performing better on the AW than on turf during the past year, winning a selling handicap easily over C&D in July and finishing second of nine back here (1m5f) a week later; one for the shortlist. |
3/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; back to form in winning a 1m4f selling handicap on the AW earlier this month and was then second under a penalty; 3lb higher now but should be fine back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; has had some struggles since but he got back to form with a bang when winning by 7l here (1m4f, AW) last Monday; that was off a tumbling mark and he's a major player if he can repeat that form under a penalty. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D last December and again on her reappearance in April; lost her way afterwards, but her third of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago was more encouraging; back off her last winning mark and respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when beginning this season with 1m4f AW win in April but looked out of sorts on last two outings; swapped usual cheekpieces for new visor last time; goes without any headgear today. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW this season; has failed to repeat the form of her July success; has done most of her winning on turf but is well exposed, unlike some of today's rivals; the oldest contender. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Her Kempton success (1m3f, Polytrack) in July came in a race run at a crawl; still 3lb higher and out of the frame in three starts since; others preferred. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |

Winner off 3lb lower here last month (1m3f); firmly put in her place at Lingfield since, including by a load of 3yos latest. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A dual 1m4f winner on Southwell AW in 2024 for Archie Watson; infrequently raced since and well held here and at Lingfield for his new yard this summer; needs to take a big step forward in first-time cheekpieces. |
40/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two Southwell handicaps (1m4f, Tapeta) and a Worcester bumper for Archie Watson in 2024, but lightly raced since and had been off 250 days when well held on stable debut at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) in June; enough to prove back from another 82 days off. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |
