29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |

1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |

4th 7 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable mare who wasn't beaten far last time at Epsom when just behind Imperical Cult; has run well in the last three renewals of this race, beaten 2l or less; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

12th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took an age to record his first win, finally making the breakthrough in a 1m handicap at Bath in June; ran well to be second at Salisbury yesterday but has a poor overall strike-rate. |

2nd 3 (1) |
11th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

took keen hold, held up in rear, some headway when short of room 2f out, pushed along over 1f out, kept on well and went second towards finish |
8/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
30th Jul 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
took keen hold, held up in rear, nudged along over 3f out, still plenty to do when ridden 2f out, ran on from over 1f out, not pace to challenge |
