2nd 1 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A maiden after nine starts but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when respectable sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; 3lb lower in a lower-grade race today; might be the answer. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; in good form without winning in 2025 but has failed to beat a rival in three turf handicaps this term; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces but hard to fancy on AW debut. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well here over 8.6f in May and went one better at Southwell (7f, AW) next time, winning by a head; shaped as if still in good form here 59 days ago and has since undergone wind surgery (tongue-tie removed); usually held up so she needs things to fall right but is considered. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of her last three starts for previous yard (7f; AW and turf) once tongue tied; has come to hand for new connections on AW of late, finishing well into second of 13 at Wolverhampton (about 1m) then slowly away but getting to the front quite readily at Southwell (7f) since; now 4lb higher but should have another race in her. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |
|
9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Defied this mark at Salisbury (6f, heavy) last September but she's had only two runs since and has struggled in both of them; still unexposed on AW but she needs a major revival on her second run after break. |
50/1 |
|
11th 7 (7) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well suited by soft/heavy ground on turf, as was her sister Queen's Eyot; off since a below-par effort last October and is some way down the pecking order. |

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

Led close home for narrow AW win here in January but that's his only success from 21 starts and he posed no threat on turf at Brighton last month; others have more pressing claims. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Sole win from 20 starts came off this mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; turf form not so hot; fell at Lingfield last time; others more persuasive. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Mostly struggled since winning on his debut in 2023 but he posted a solid effort when third of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie) last month; needs to back that up now dropped back in trip. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; below form in two runs for current stable and his stamina for 1m is still unproven after fading over C&D 18 days ago (went off fast). |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; attracted stewards' attention when never-dangerous seventh on last month's stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); might well come good for Richard Hughes soon but his stamina for 1m is unproven and he's quite tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Course winner who returned from five months off with a very good second of nine over C&D last month, faring best of those held up; a player nudged up 1lb. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Just 1-20, her sole success coming at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last December; beaten in a classified on Tuesday and needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win in 19 starts came in a handicap at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) in December and only went down narrowly over this C&D later in month; not at her best in her last two starts, but this drop in grade gives her a chance. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended long losing run with soft-ground C&D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |

8/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner but she has an overall strike-rate of 3-38 and has been beaten 5l or more in her last five runs; has a change of headgear but she needs to raise her game back in trip. |
10/1 |
