29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |

Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Most wins have come in the second half of the year, mainly on turf, and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught first time out; others have more pressing claims. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Capable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted. |

It was an uncompetitive four-runner classified event in which she finished second at Ffos Las nine days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but this will demand more of her. |

Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner who didn't get home in a Windsor handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago, but she does stay this far; has won on good to firm, but most of her successes have come on good ground or softer; sports headgear for the first time on her 60th outing. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Tapped into new-found reserves of stamina of late, going close twice over 7f before another good run upped to 1m at Brighton three weeks ago; fully effective on slow ground but remains to be seen if she needs a stiff test over 1m on this ground. |

Dual course winner; not firing on all cylinders this season but wasn't beaten far in stronger race than this at Newbury (5f, good) two starts ago and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when a fading eighth over C&D last week; could have a say. |

Yet to break his duck but has 6f course form and was close up in his only 5f handicap, at Ffos Las in September (good; acts on slow ground); this stiffer test at 5f can suit and he's likely to come on from reappearance. |

Four-time C&D winner who finished second in this race in 2022; came back from a 685-day absence at the start of this month and that run, alongside the two that followed, don't suggest he's retained that old ability; risky at present. |
