14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Looked in excellent nick at Stratford (2m6f, good; refitted visor) nine days ago, dominating from the front and winning by 11l; could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip but, on the balance of this year's form, might be vulnerable after recent 6lb rise. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; her last success was over two years ago but she's run some solid races over hurdles this summer and was only beaten 4l at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last time; respected with visor reapplied. |

Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; has some respectable races during her losing streak but doesn't look on that good a mark. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Completed a double off this mark at Warwick (2m5f, good) last May but she's had only four runs since and has struggled in all of them; had wind surgery in July but she needs a major revival after another break. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Out of form in two runs last winter but she is 3-12 over hurdles and realistically handicapped if she can rediscover her form; market could be helpful back from a break. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Winner of good-ground mares' handicaps at Hereford (2m4f) and Warwick (2m5f) the last twice; career-high mark and a first step into a Class 4 handicap demand more, but tactically versatile and confidence high. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win (from 25 attempts) came 18 starts ago in May 2025; she didn't run badly off her reduced mark at Stratford recently but needs something extra if she's to snap her losing sequence today. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Scored over hurdles but a modest Flat maiden for Brian Ellison; comes here in good nick over hurdles for new yard, sixth at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; not out of things back in this sphere. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Beat 14 rivals at Worcester (2m, good) last July but she's not matched that form since and was only sixth of ten at Market Rasen three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for her last success but she's untried over this far and others are preferred. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Best recent run was the 9l third at Worcester (2m, good) in a race she'd won twice before; ran no race back there last time and others appeal more. |

10th 12 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Built on June's reappearance when keeping on for third over 2m here 12 days ago, in a race she had won in 2024 and 2025; yet to prove she needs this far but is on a good mark and could figure if staying the trip. |

Still a maiden after 17 starts over hurdles and, despite being on a basement mark in this modest contest, she'll need to improve to break her duck. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Not disgraced when 66-1 fifth of nine at Stratford (2m6f, good) a fortnight ago but now 0-16 over hurdles and overall profile remains unappealing. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Maiden who made it 0-15 over hurdles when pulled up at a big price at Southwell (3m, good) in June; can only be watched back from a break. |

12st 0lb |
Got back on the scoresheet when beating Parikarma at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; disappointing in both subsequent runs but she's now only 2lb higher than for that last win and is a big player if she can bounce back. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Worked her way back to peak form and scored by just over 4l at Uttoxeter (near 3m, good) in June; ran poorly over that same C&D last month, however. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Has worked her way back to peak form, following a break, and scored by just over 4l over C&D (good) six weeks ago; 5lb higher now but ought to make her presence felt again. |

Beaten about 40l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has now been unplaced all 12 hurdle runs; effectively 1lb higher here and can't be recommended on this drop back in trip. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who has yet to be placed and was a well-held fifth of eight over C&D 11 days ago; no appeal from 3lb out of the weights. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Won two British points in May but she was tailed off back over hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) last month; that was a tough task in a maiden but she's now 0-10 under rules and has form figures of 8860 in handicaps at up to 2m5f; opposable. |

10st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare; returned after a year off with a creditable third here (2m2f, good to firm) in July but she failed to back that up at Cartmel last week; that took her record to 0-20 and others are more convincing. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish mare; 0-19 under all codes but returned from one-year absence with pretty good third at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) last month and is also effective on slower ground; player if that run brought her on. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden who is on a reduced mark and returns to the scene of her best effort for current stable but has been absent for 12 months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |
