31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark (for today's rider); solid efforts on last three starts and he's a leading contender. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3lb higher than when winning this race last year, but is off the same mark as when following up at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) next time; looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of eight at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago and is respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Triple C&D winner for Robyn Brisland in 2021 and came good for current stable at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in June, having reportedly benefited from the reapplication of a hood; reverted to her free-going tendencies when midfield on consecutive outings without a hood last month, though, and the headgear is again missing here. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (13) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Gained two of his six wins over this C&D, the latter in June; versatile ground-wise and seemingly on a workable mark but didn't fire here last week (raced too freely) and is unreliable. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (1) |

9th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights; some positive signs of late but well beaten after racing freely in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) at Southwell (6f) last week; bounce back needed. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (11) |
28th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He has dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some positive signs of late; did too much early in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last month but it was still a fair run; cheekpieces tried now; return to 6f shouldn't be an issue; one to consider. |

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 |
