28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |
11/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |

4th 6 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins at sprint trips; more modest efforts than good ones since a 6f claiming success at Wolverhampton in August and didn't shine over 7f and 1m for new yard in November. |
66/1 |
|
12th 14 (11) |
20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has done his winning at sprint distances; inconsistent, including over 7f, since last success and has something to prove at this new trip on second run for new yard. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

20th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

AW win came on Polytrack; rarely runs on Tapeta and the return to this track (5f) and the drop to this level was no help this month. |

5th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who hasn't been firing on all cylinders for a few months now; consequence of that is he's eligible for this grade and he's one to note for market confidence with Rossa Ryan taking over today. |

9st 4lb |
Four turf wins in 2021 and thrown in on that form; missed last season though and he hasn't got going in six runs since his return in June; goes without his usual tongue-tie; can't be recommended at present. |
