25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; on dangerous mark but has bit to prove again after that last run and she's now 1-26 in handicaps; visor removed. |

Beaten favourite on AW last time; only 1-25 in handicaps, compared to 2-5 at classified level, but has done her winning on turf and holds a fighting chance in this field. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |
4/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form this summer and bids for a hat-trick following 5f victories at Chepstow and Bath; up 3lb but not taken lightly in her current mood. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner (firm) who was third back over C&D on her reappearance in May and ran to a similar level back here next time; produced a career-best effort when winning a Chepstow classified event (5f, good to firm) latest; needs a similar effort to defy this mark back in a handicap but there are plenty of positives, including with her yard among the winners. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner on good to firm last June who has posted two respectable efforts over 5f in handicaps at Bath since returning from a 247-day break; contender now that she drops into a classified. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Held on narrowly for AW win off today's mark in September but that remains her only success from 18 starts; managed only fifth in bottom-grade classified at Bath (5f, firm) on Monday and, on balance, others here look stronger; cheekpieces refitted. |

15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still seeking his first win (0-13) and underwhelming since finishing third at Brighton (5.5f classified; 12-1) in June; beaten a neck over this trip on sole previous visit to Chelmsford in January, which does offer hope. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (11) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; kept on well for close second in 5f Chelmsford handicap in January and was placed in this grade at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month, but he was soundly beaten on his last two appearances and can't be supported with much confidence. |
