14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable mare who wasn't beaten far last time at Epsom when just behind Imperical Cult; has run well in the last three renewals of this race, beaten 2l or less; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest in December (1m3f, Polytrack) off this mark; her turf form is less convincing though and she needs to raise her game. |
33/1 |
|
1 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual winner here, the latest over this trip from 2lb lower last December; modest in three outings since returning in May, but the return of the visor looks a positive. |
12/1 |
|
6 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time AW winner at up to 1m4f; seemed unsuited by the drop back to 8.5f at Epsom most recently but remains a maiden on turf and current mark looks difficult. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winner here this time last year (1m) and also won in early September 2024; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so there are positives under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins and several solid efforts in defeat round here, all over 1m (won over 7f on the turf course last summer); back on her last successful mark and is one to consider under Donagh Murphy, who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Six-time winner, including twice on Polytrack at Lingfield, and her first two runs of the campaign were encouraging; below that level on turf last time but she is the type to bounce back. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close third in a 7f Lingfield classified last time but that was AW; no win since August 2023 and it's almost as long since he ran well on turf. |
10/1 |
|
5 (1) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not beaten far on his last attempt at this level (1m2f here) in March; not a solid option but no surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers given a go. |
10/1 |
