2nd 6 (1) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner, including in March off a mark 1lb lower than today; respectable fifth of ten here two weeks ago when he was held up off a steady pace and raced wide on the turn for home; respected. |
9/2 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth here (1m2f) the following month; tailed off at Newbury in June but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |

Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth there (1m2f) three weeks ago; a case can be made on those efforts but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays. |

Made all in 1m3f classified at Yarmouth in July (good) and back to form with a close second under Grace Littmoden on the AW a month ago; ground this testing is the main concern. |

10st 6lb |
Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f. |

20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last September and she ran one of her best races since when second at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in May; not seen subsequently but warrants consideration on this classified debut. |

A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

Has had excuses in recent starts but Ella Smart got a nice tune out of him when winning over C&D in February and he ran another good race here next time; possible reviver on second run back from break. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
37 starts, with her only wins coming last year on AW in February and at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) in July; went off the boil this January-March and no revival 15 days ago, after a break, but she'd be a major player if back on song. |

Two wins from 36 starts; runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in December but below that level in three starts since, including when a 12l third of ten here over 1m6f last time; still has place claims. |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has shown ability on AW elsewhere at 7f and 1m but she's been well beaten at big prices since back from wind surgery; others more likely. |

9th 9 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Still a maiden and she arrives well below par, only seventh in 1m2f Nottingham handicap 13 days ago; others are much preferred. |

7th 7 (9) |
13th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
She was returning from wind surgery when eighth of 13 at Wolverhampton two weeks ago, finishing over 9l behind Showlan Spirit; dropping down the weights but looks vulnerable. |
