Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |

Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

Just missed out in a 6f maiden here in June (soft) and also finished second at Ffos Las in July (Class 6 nursery); another fair run at Chepstow last month; would be receiving 13lb from Lieutenant Rascal in a handicap but doubt there will be that much between them. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked. |

0-6 but she ran her best race so far when runner-up behind a well-backed favourite in a C&D nursery (good) eight days ago; did clear best of the closers in that race and she's a big player off same mark; hood added. |

Her first two runs were encouraging but she hasn't progressed, albeit she looked stretched by 7f at Leicester three weeks ago; this is uncompetitive and she can't be discounted dropping in grade. |

Rallied gamely to win a five-runner maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) in June but subsequent nursery form has been somewhat underwhelming; seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when fourth of six in recent Wolverhampton seller (6f) but went back up 3lb for that run; others preferred. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; well below best form for new stable this year but his two recent turf runs in this grade (1m/7f, good to firm) were fairly respectable, and he might be boosted by the refitted blinkers here. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; out of form for new stable this year (five runs) but took step back in right direction when respectable sixth in this grade at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

9st 1lb |
Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again. |

Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering. |

Well beaten when 66-1 for nursery debut at Ffos Las (6f, soft) in late July; sports first-time cheekpieces here and today's trip-and-surface combination may show him in a better light, but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |
