Made an encouraging belated return when fifth at Carlisle in September but she's twice failed to build on it in 7f handicaps here and at Doncaster; others appeal more. |

9st 9lb |
Fair 2yo for Richard Fahey but went backwards last backend having missed a year (underwent wind surgery); offered a bit more over C&D last time (first-time hood; off today) but needs another good step forward. |

Showed promise in all three juvenile starts when with Richard Fahey; form then tailed off for him and no signs of revival on debut for this trainer. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned things around with a win at Wolverhampton last month and she followed up in a Ffos Las handicap (5f, good); couldn't quite get the job done in her hat-trick bid at Lingfield (6f, AW), but that was another big run and she's only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; shortlisted. |

2nd 3 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Returned to winning form in a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and followed up in a 0-65 handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but still respected in her current mood and the return to this trip is no problem. |

Came good for current stable at seventh attempt, with emphatic 5f AW win 12 days ago; will be fine back on turf and recent 5lb rise ought to be manageable; respected. |

Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip. |

Poor form at best thus far, beating only one in 6f Leicester handicap on her return 30 days ago; hood and tongue-tie go on, but lots to find. |

Has yet to get competitive in five runs over hurdles; hood worn on last two runs is left off and doesn't appeal. |

Struggled to get competitive off basement Flat marks in 2023 and, following a long absence, has made an inauspicious start to her hurdling career for new stable this year; 8lb out of the weights. |

Verdict
There are question marks about most of the runners but GENTLE ELLEN has a good chance of staying 7f if she handles this very different track to the ones on which she’s shown her best form. Mawada is the most interesting of her rivals, having looked to retain her ability when reappearing after an absence on the AW, and her pedigree suggests she has a sporting chance of handling soft ground. Alexa’s Princess and Happier are others with form claims on their best efforts.[Emily Weber]
