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. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
16/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer who has not been seen since beating just one (stumbled halfway) in 5f Lingfield handicap in September; she needs to hit the ground running. |
7/2 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Expensive to follow this year, for all that she's a winner (5f, good to firm; 5-4f); has the ability to be competitive at this level but stall 7 is wide enough and she's light on AW experience (figures of 636 at Wolverhampton). |

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 |

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. |

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. |
