16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m but has found it tougher going this year; slowly easing in the weights but dropping back to 7f is not enough to tempt. |

Record over C&D reads 1112; getting on and has not been at his best this year but this task is easier, down in class having been dropped another 2lb; ought to fare much better. |

Strike-rate is only 1-14 but she's a consistent 3yo filly who could well double her tally at some stage; not beaten far when joint-favourite for a C&D event three starts ago; solid chance. |

Inconsistent this season but posted one of his better efforts last time; dual winner at Salisbury, including narrowly under Freddy Tett in this race last year; respected off a workable mark. |
5/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

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. |
9/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
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. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (9) |

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. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Back to form with a good second at Wolverhampton last week (7f); has a C&D win on his record and a repeat of that latest run would give him a chance but consistency hasn't always been his strong suit. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |
33/1 |

17 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |
25/1 |
