24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (3) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap. |
8/1 |

10th 8 (8) |

Successful off a mark of 70 in C&D handicap on penultimate start, taking Goodwood record to 3-4; return to this venue is a plus but she has easily the worst chance at the weights upped in class. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
1m4f wins at Doncaster (good) and here (good to firm) for new yard this summer; he has come up short in stronger company on his last two starts but holds good claims back in a Class 6. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

2-6 for this yard but both wins were at 1m4f at Class 6 level; looks worth taking on, for all that his last race on the AW didn't go entirely to plan. |

Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |

9st 11lb |
Triple course winner, including on firm and over this trip; placed over 1m2f here on his reappearance, when 1lb higher in May; probably too free at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) latest but will be an each-way player if able to settle better. |

Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |

6th 3 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return. |
3/1 |

Four course wins over 1m2f on fast ground; three solid efforts in defeat this year, again over 1m2f, and he has handled slow ground in the past; unlikely to be far away back at 1m. |
