23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of ten of her 39 starts, notably when scampering clear of ten rivals in a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; this represents a much stiffer assignment. |
33/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins last year and campaign concluded with good fourth of 11 over this C&D (good); down the field on reappearance at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but may have needed the run and is not ruled out. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Seven wins from 18 AW runs, three of them here; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark but she goes well fresh and the booking of Oisin Murphy is a notable one. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer; not seen to best effect on his last three runs since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in March, going too freely from an outside draw when last of six at Bath (5f) last time; interesting from an easing mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; stayed on well to land a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March and two defeats since have come over 6f; latest Lingfield effort was much better than the distance beaten suggests; 5f on quick ground suits ideally and more patient tactics in a well-run race could pay dividends. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and he failed to settle when well beaten from a wide draw over 6f there next time; however, all of his wins have come at 5f and he has something to prove kept to 6f. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his six wins have been over C&D but last one was back in March 2024; has been out of sorts on his last two starts. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
His handicap mark has bottomed out and there have been more encouraging signs on his last two starts, second in a 0-50 classified over C&D 15 days ago; more required today. |
14/1 |
