20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m on turf/AW last year; endured a wide trip when fifth of ten on her return from 253 days off at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last month, but she remains 6lb above her last winning mark. |

Won three times last year including twice at this track (7f/1m); returns after 253 days off but this reliable mare still looks on a workable mark and she has won when fresh; dangerous with Jim Crowley booked. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple winner elsewhere and he's 0-4 here; only 2lb higher than for his recent win at Salisbury but his latest run there was disappointing, for all that it was in a Class 5. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Eight-time winner who likes it here, as evidenced by him winning an amateur riders' handicap (7f) for the second year in succession last time; stays this trip and has to enter calculations. |

Inconsistent this season but posted one of his better efforts last time; dual winner at Salisbury, including narrowly under Freddy Tett in this race last year; respected off a workable mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Had a fine summer with five wins and has a 4lb pull with Serenity Dream who beat him here last month; dropped to 6f in a better race last time he ran well for a long way; respected. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher. |

2nd 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Resurgent front-runner who has collected five wins (three over C&D) this year; on fairly tough mark now and was soundly beaten at Newmarket on Friday but is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |

Hanging to his left may have cost him dear when a close fourth behind Barnsnape Boy in a C&D classified event 12 days ago; each-way claims if keeping straighter. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often a front-runner; returns to turf for the first time since winning a 0-60 handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last July but he does appear to face a difficult task on these terms. |

9st 12lb |
Back-to-back AW wins in the spring, latterly over C&D; made a good return from eight weeks off when second at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; considered back here. |

20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Comfortably won a division of this last year and a 2lb drop for finishing best of the rest at Wolverhampton last time means she lines up off the same mark; key player. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

1lb higher than when third of five in this race last year and well treated on her best form but recent performances leave her with a bit to prove; best efforts have come at Kempton. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to add to his turf nursery win three years ago but kept on for fourth off basement mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in August and did not enjoy the run of the race in 1m4f AW classified last time; considered each-way. |
10/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
33-1 second in a Wolverhampton classified (8.5f, Tapeta) in March; didn't get the breaks when an eye-catching fifth on her penultimate start and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; kept on in the latter and this new trip could unlock a bit more; interesting. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Sole success came at Nottingham in September 2022; her handicap mark has dropped to an all-time low but she is showing no signs of taking advantage. |
