24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove. |
7/2 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time winner; on the downgrade now but fairly consistent in handicaps in recent months; went without her usual cheekpieces on last two outings; big player in this grade if first-time visor has any positive effect. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over the extended 1m here; losing run up to 13, but 16lb below her last winning mark and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of six here (1m, good) three weeks ago; stays this far and could go well. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well when beaten just over a length into third of nine behind a couple of these over C&D in January; given a short break since and can go well fresh, but he is now 0-24 and others look a bit more solid. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
23-race maiden; wasn't beaten far (1.75l) when fourth to today's rival Spirit Of Ash over C&D in November, and meets that mare on improved terms if factoring in the 7lb claim of Tom Kiely-Marshall; latest effort excusable (1m6f), so isn't a forlorn hope from a career-low mark. |

8lb higher than for his 7f win here in February when in this new headgear combination; current mark is looking an issue but it was a good run over 6f here two weeks ago. |

29th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run with his emphatic win over 7f here (3-1) in February and he gave it a decent shot when a 2l fourth over C&D last time; still unexposed as a sprinter and he shouldn't be far away. |

8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at Kempton (7f/1m) for Tom Clover and placed a couple of times on turf for this yard during the autumn; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when ninth of 12 here (7f) five weeks ago, but wouldn't have won anyway and still to prove he can act on Tapeta. |
20/1 |

9th 7 (5) |
3rd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time Kempton winner for Tom Clover and has tumbled down the handicap on turf this year; a bit higher in the weights back on AW but has been showing enough on soft/heavy turf to suggest he's worth considering. |
9/1 |

24th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Not fully compelling on the balance of this season's form elsewhere; however, looks interesting back at Ayr having gained last two wins over C&D (including off 2lb higher). |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue. |
4/1 |

1st 13 |
23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |

Five-time Flat winner is 0-15 over hurdles but he took second over C&D (good, 20-1) earlier this month; chance if he builds on that but his overall form suggests he might not. |

Scored at Ayr (7f) in September but her form has nosedived; last of 12 over C&D last month and has something to prove. |

12th 6 (9) |
17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Fifth turf win when successful over Ayr's 7f last month; not so good since and her record on the AW (0-9) hardly bodes well. |
