2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All three wins have been on the AW (1m/1m4f) but she's a consistent mare with comparable form on turf and should give her running once more (second on previous visit here); chance. |
4/1 |

Consistent mare whose three wins on the AW include two here (1m/1m4f); still on a fair mark and should again run her race. |

11st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected. |
7/1 |
|
13th 14 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
The second runner for local trainer George Baker and this one has an enviable 3-4 record here, having picked up two Ladies' Derbys (2024 and 2025) in addition to the Amateurs' Derby last year when trained by Ben Brookhouse; not discounted on that score but this is a good bit hotter than those events; refitted tongue-tie could be a plus. |

10st 0lb |
Bumper winning who made a successful debut in this sphere in a 1m3f maiden here in March before running well in a 1m4f Listed event; however, she was well held on her handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June and now returns to the AW with better needed. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Did well in bumpers; won a 1m3f AW maiden and then ran surprisingly well in a 1m4f Listed race; that did her mark no favours but Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and she might do better again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his first win since landing a Group 3 in August 2023 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) off 3lb lower; his overall profile doesn't suggest he is likely to follow up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Six-race maiden whose easily best display in three handicaps came when fifth of ten at Chester (1m2f) in June; the lesser shows on either side were over about 1m3f; blinkers (worn on last two starts) are removed; 7lb lower than on handicap/seasonal debut but something to prove. |

9st 5lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) in 2023; yet to be placed for this stable but he almost certainly needed his first start for 806 days when sixth of seven at Chester (1m2f, good) last time; dropped another 3lb and he may take a step forward. |

9st 11lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) early in 2023; choppy waters afterwards and has been absent since finishing tailed off in the Chester Plate in May 2024. |

2nd 12 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; made a fine start for his new stable when winning a Class 5 1m4f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago, drawing clear with an unexposed rival despite a steady pace; not missed with a 7lb rise but not out of the question he will kick on again. |
13/2 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 on the Flat but he won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April on his final start for Denis Hogan; has since been purchased for £26,000 and makes his stable/AW debut for a yard that does well with new recruits; market should be informative. |
5/2 |
