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 |

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. |

Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims. |

This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

Raced mainly on turf, winning five times off lower marks; best efforts this term when runner-up twice at Bath; chance back on AW partly depends on the effects of first-time tongue-tie. |

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. |

9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |

Gained all ten wins at this track, the latest in 1m classified at start of this month; close second in handicap over that trip here (again on firm) a fortnight later and will be fine back over 1m2f but recent 4lb rise might leave this 8yo a shade vulnerable. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style. |
