2nd 4 (6) |
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. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
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 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
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. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |
2/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114). |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |
6/1 |
|
4 (3) |
31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear. |
10/1 |
|
1 (11) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Debut winner who was only short-headed on his handicap debut at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and his Sandown run after a lengthy break was too bad to be true; could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
0 7 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Less exposed than most of these and was having only his third outing when short-headed in six-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy; won debut on good to firm) in May; edged up 3lb but open to further improvement and must be considered. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |
|
9 (6) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |
6/1 |
