23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |

8st 13lb |
Notched a third course win when ending a losing run over C&D 17 days ago (unlucky Vape not far behind in sixth); got messed about a bit herself and has a fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |

Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |

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. |

8st 11lb |
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. |

Without a win since December 2022 and absent since below-par turf run in June last year; probably better suited by 1m+ nowadays; not the most obvious answer. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course specialist who landed his sixth win on this track earlier this month, in a C&D classified; beaten at odds-on over 7f here 24 hours later but will be more at home back over 1m and must be on the shortlist. |
11/4 |

3rd 4 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has worked his way back into form this season and he won a 1m classified here yesterday under Molly Gunn, which was his sixth course win; strong claims under 4lb penalty if running again today. |
9/4 |

1st 5 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted. |

Well short of her best last season and she made a low-key start for her new stable at Lingfield 11 weeks ago (7f, AW; 150-1); too much to prove for comfort. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but has failed to build on it twice since, despite being prominent in the betting over 6f here latterly; down to a mark in the 40s for the first time but the market is perhaps the best guide back from 11 weeks off. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) and a slow start was no help at Chester (stays 7f); only 2-35 but he's not without a chance. |
5/1 |

7th 10 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |

8st 12lb |
Eight-time winner but his last success was on heavy ground at Bath (1m) over a year ago; well handicapped on that form but he's 0-10 this season and has been laboured in last two runs; regular cheekpieces are now removed and has something to prove from tough draw. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner, most recently on heavy ground at Bath (1m) just over a year ago; not at his best this season but handicapped accordingly and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time course winner over 1m on good or faster ground, but was successful from 8lb higher on heavy at Bath (1m) a year ago; an extra furlong may suit him best, but still respected from an an attractive mark. |
