9th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All five of her wins have been at Bath (1m/1m2f) with four of them on soft/heavy, the latest over 1m2f in October off a 4lb lower mark than today's; third in both starts over this C&D and she's proven fresh, so is of some interest on her first start for 188 days. |

Loves it here and beat nine rivals with ease on her latest visit in September (1m, heavy); a 5lb rise could have been worse and she stays this far. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Missed the whole of 2023 but has been consistent in handicaps since last summer; didn't enjoy a clear run when third of six over C&D last month, but was still well held and that didn't really prove her stamina. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
22nd Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced for her age; proving consistent for this yard, again making the frame when fourth of seven over 9.4f here in January; chance hinges on her staying this much longer trip (some encouragement from pedigree). |

9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

String of poor efforts since going close for Dean Ivory here last June; would be a surprise winner back in headgear under Jake Holman (0-7 to date). |

10th 4 (5) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All four wins when trained by Dean Ivory; finished last of 12 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) on her sole start for Clare Hobson last month; headgear removed for stable debut; hard to make a case for. |

Well-related ex-Gosden maiden who's gone as far as 1m4f and been expensive to follow; didn't improve for the drop back to this trip last time but the handicapper's given him every chance on his AW debut. |

8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |
10/1 |

12th 8 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four wins here (three over this trip) and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; defied a five-month absence as a 3yo, but his reappearance efforts in the meantime suggest this first start in seven months may be needed. |

Strong at the finish when winning a C&D handicap last May off 1lb higher; retains all his ability, in the frame on his last two start, and going back over this trip will suit; one of two runners for the stable. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Last of five wins came at this track (7f) in May 2025 off this mark; returned to form when beaten a head here (7f, good) 12 days ago but not sure the step back to 6f for the first time since February 2024 will be in his favour. |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |

Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Went back-to-back in good-ground handicaps (7f/1m, including here) in September 2024 but no wins since and two runs last month (led before weakening) don't suggest another crack at this trip will turn the ship around. |

A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions. |

Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |

Took his record to 0-6 but emerged with credit when second of ten at Sandown 12 days ago (1m, good to firm; visored first time), keeping on well; 2lb higher today but returning to Polytrack will be no issue and he's a leading contender. |
