9st 11lb |
Won here in May (6f, good to firm) and made it 2-2 at Lingfield when scoring here (6f, good to firm) last month; shapes as though she'll be fine now back down to 5f and she's a strong candidate given her record here. |

Won a Ripon novice (5f, good) last August but her form has been up and down since and she was only fourth of six at Windsor 12 days ago; that took her record to 1-9 and she needs to raise her game again back up in trip. |

Found plenty when beating Girl Magic over 5f at Ripon in August (good); mixed after but shaped well from off the pace on latest 6f start, at Wolverhampton in April; no joy back at 5f since but not ruled out returned to 6f on turf. |

9st 12lb |
Had been knocking on the door before holding on well to open account at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands a bit more here but further progress is possible; well beaten the only previous time cheekpieces were used but that was over 8.3f on soft ground. |

17th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden but she found improvement on her drop to 5f when a close second of five at Chepstow (good to firm) last week; nudged up 2lb but she pulled clear of the third last time and should have more to offer at this trip; respected. |

Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Not one to rely on but she scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and bounced back to form when a nose second of nine in 6f Catterick handicap ten days ago; not out of things if on her A-game again. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

This mark isn't beyond her but her style of racing doesn't really lend itself to this track; others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

C&D win last October off 2lb lower; had a wind operation prior to his seasonal return in June; two solid efforts this year and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (8) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Successful in Class 6 over C&D and Class 5 on AW last term; had wind surgery since final outing; needs to prove he can cope with this higher grade on reappearance but market support should be heeded. |

30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded prior to his latest start and he showed improved form in finishing third of 14 in a 0-75 at Windsor (1m, good; favourite); didn't enjoy the cleanest run through on that occasion and he's open to further progress; one to take seriously. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 12 (5) |
17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of ten in maiden at Newbury (1m, soft) in April looked promising considering how badly he swerved to his left leaving the stalls; although not so marked, that behaviour at the start has been repeated on both outings since and he's made backward steps, the latest in a 6f handicap debut; gelded since; bit too early to forget that Newbury promise. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has often pulled hard, including in a hood, and there's a concern that she'll do so again from a wide stall in first-time blinkers; she can miss the break anyway and doesn't arrive in any form. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Unplaced on last two starts but hasn't run badly and he's 4lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good) in June; capable of having a big say. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
