31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected. |
7/1 |

13th 14 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
The second runner for local trainer George Baker and this one has an enviable 3-4 record here, having picked up two Ladies' Derbys (2024 and 2025) in addition to the Amateurs' Derby last year when trained by Ben Brookhouse; not discounted on that score but this is a good bit hotter than those events; refitted tongue-tie could be a plus. |
16/1 |

9th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

Course winner over 2m in October 2024 but her last three wins have been at Windsor over 11.5f; well held in three starts this year, albeit she wasn't helped by being caught wide at Lingfield last month. |

Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

Soft-ground hurdle winner in March off 2lb lower; out of sorts when last seen hurdling but in good form on the Flat since the blinkers went on, latest when a close third at Windsor this month; could play a part if the headgear continues to have a positive effect back over hurdles. |

9st 10lb |
Habitual slow-starter who again got going too late to land a blow when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m3f) ten days ago; the visor he wore that day is retained; has just one win from 15 goes and needs something extra. |

Has had just two AW races, including when second as 2yo; sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f at Ffos Las last August off 2lb higher, on the first of two starts with a tongue-tie which returns today; not so good since, with blinkers on last two outings, but the tongue-tie might help. |

Sole win came at Ayr; among the market leaders back there early last month on first crack at 0-50 company, but finished well held behind Approaching Dawn; given a second go in a visor today, switched from cheekpieces. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent on AW this year and record is only 1-27 but the Ayr factor makes him interesting on classified debut; gained his win in sole visit to this course (May 2023). |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

1-26, the success over three years ago; drop back in trip (and refitted cheekpieces) coincided with overdue return to form, when a closing third to Dinah Myte (Barleybrown second) over C&D 23 days ago; his odds will be shorter now, but whether he'll back it up is questionable. |

This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

16th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Generally very disappointing since 1m3f Kempton novice win on British Flat debut in January 2024, but has become well handicapped and is likely to have entered a few notebooks when keeping on steadily from the rear for sixth in recent Chelmsford race won by Arcadian Nights; watch the betting. |
