3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

She didn't run badly in a 7f 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton last week and the return to 6f shouldn't inconvenience her; rider good value for his 7lb claim; cheekpieces the headgear of choice this afternoon. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |
14/1 |

12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025 (including this race) but he arrives well below his best, only sixth of nine in C&D handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins and three seconds from eight runs here and he will be happier sprinting again having not seen out 1m last month; time has looked to be catching up this year, however, and Legendsoftheland appears his trainer's best chance. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Raced exclusively in sprints for the last year or so and has been this far only twice; doesn't arrive in much form and others have more pressing claims. |

6lb lower than when winning the corresponding event 12 months ago; 0-9 this year but she retains ability and she should get a good pace to aim at this time; considered. |

Back to form with a good second at Wolverhampton last week (7f); has a C&D win on his record and a repeat of that latest run would give him a chance but consistency hasn't always been his strong suit. |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |
3/1 |

4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |

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. |

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. |
