13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a record of 2-7 over C&D (both wins on good to firm) and although not in quite the same form this year as she was last summer, such as when going close off 13lb higher on this track, she wasn't far away back here two starts ago; no surprise to see her go well. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Five wins on turf have been at Windsor and Salisbury, the latest off a 2lb higher mark than today's; runner-up over this C&D (good to firm) in April before another solid effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago; drops in grade with claims. |

24th May 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Had two years on the sidelines and it took him a couple of runs to rediscover his spark; back in the groove now, following a good win at Southwell with a close second at Salisbury three weeks ago (both 6f); returning to 7f won't hurt and he's one to consider despite the rise in class. |

Lightly raced 6yo who missed two years of his career; has taken time to recapture form since back in action but was a fluent 6f winner on Southwell AW in February (first-time tongue-tie, retained) and is well treated on past form on soft. |

Now beneath his last winning mark but he was beaten a good way out last time at Salisbury (6f) and he runs that track well; has been good and bad in the reapplied cheekpieces; bit risky. |

9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |

He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Did well last year (three wins; one over C&D) but is yet to strike form after three starts this season and slow starts have become a serious issue; goes without usual blinkers today; comes with risk. |

In-form 6yo who regained the winning thread at Epsom (good to soft) then went very close over this C&D (soft) later in July; still well treated on peak RPRs; respected. |

Tumbled down the weights and returned to his optimum conditions (7f, soft) he ran well at Brighton two weeks ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and he'll need vastly more to come out on top in this field. |

Veteran who scored over C&D in October, but she's not easy to predict and was 6l behind Nordic Glory here ten days ago; needs to bounce back again after that disappointing run and others are more persuasive. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |

Record of 1-22 and well held at Windsor last time but that was after a solid spell, including a second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his penultimate run; 1lb lower here and could be dangerous if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

Last three turf wins came on this track, on extremes of going; went quiet on the AW earlier in the year but he came from a long way back to take a late third over C&D in May and has better claims than most. |
