22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles and no improvement in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when fifth of ten finishers over C&D (good to soft) last month; needs to show more. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break. |

C&D winner who resumed from five months off with a solid fourth of eight in 1m4f Lingfield handicap a week ago; not out of things off the same mark. |

Just low-level hurdle form on his last two starts; last year's Flat best, which came over C&D, would give him a squeak but others look stronger for win purposes. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (3) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |

Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap. |
8/1 |

Successful off a mark of 70 in C&D handicap on penultimate start, taking Goodwood record to 3-4; return to this venue is a plus but she has easily the worst chance at the weights upped in class. |

Well-backed favourite when a fair fifth in a Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good to soft) on his stable debut in May but he hung badly left throughout when tailed off at Bath last time; that took his record to 0-7 and has plenty to prove again after that; tongue-tie back on. |

Still to win after eight starts but his close second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February represents a very strong piece of form for the grade; disappointing that he hasn't built on it since but he has the ability to go close if the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect. |

Looked sure to win races when beaten a short head over C&D in February, but failed to confirm form with fifth-placed Margaret Beaufort when over 6l behind that rival back here 11 days later; may not have been suited by the steady pace there and a player if bouncing back. |

Made it sixth-time lucky in a nursery over C&D last November and showed he retained ability when fourth at Bath (1m, good) in May and at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month (behind a couple of these); not so good when last of 12 at Newbury (1m, good) six days ago and needs to bounce back. |
