1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended long losing run with soft-ground C&D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away. |

10st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |

Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in January, but well held in all three starts since and is hard to predict. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two of his five wins on turf have been on soft; came back to form when winning at Kempton (6f, AW) in January but he's been well beaten in both starts since; a 63-day break needs to have done him good. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last July but he needs to improve plenty on his last few efforts. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from seven months off and is back on a competitive mark for a yard in fair form of late; one to consider in a race lacking depth. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tailed off on heavy ground at Nottingham last October when last seen but showed some good form last season, including when winning at Nottingham (1m2f, good), and he returns on a competitive mark; not ruled out. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Won over C&D last November but has failed to match that level since and doesn't appeal. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in the second half of 2025, including here (5f); mixed bag in 2026 but he is capable at this level and shouldn't be discounted; stable also run Real Gold. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was well held at Salisbury last time but he looks interesting on his third in a Newbury handicap (6f, good to firm) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was at this track. |

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. |
