29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |

9st 10lb |
His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Has won four times over C&D but has shown little in four starts since returning from a 685-day absence last month. |

7 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
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. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time C&D winner; well handicapped on old form but returned from long absence with two low-key runs this summer, more recently when last of seven over 6f here on Thursday; visor refitted; revival needed. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too. |

Inconsistent maiden who achieved little in sole outing this season; good chance on peak handicap effort but comes with risk. |
14/1 |
|
10th 7 (8) |
24th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden; went desperately close at Windsor last June (5f, good to firm) but that hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things; this is likely to be the slowest ground she's tackled and she looks best watched back from 225 days off. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Triple C&D winner for Robyn Brisland in 2021 and came good for current stable at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in June, having reportedly benefited from the reapplication of a hood; reverted to her free-going tendencies when midfield on consecutive outings without a hood last month, though, and the headgear is again missing here. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (13) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Gained two of his six wins over this C&D, the latter in June; versatile ground-wise and seemingly on a workable mark but didn't fire here last week (raced too freely) and is unreliable. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |
9/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
20-race maiden; not beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor in July (5f, good to firm), but soundly beaten last two starts; now tried in blinkers (fair effort in first-time visor); others stronger. |
10/1 |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
8/1 |
|
9 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
12lb lower than when winning at Windsor (5f, heavy) last October, but patchy form in the meantime with her latest fourth of seven coming in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (6f, good); cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |
|
1 (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. |
