1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |

All eight wins have been on good ground or slower, the most recent coming when making all over C&D (good) in June; now 6lb higher having been off since but he ran well off this mark at Bath last October. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Placed plenty of times since last success and current mark is attractive; well capable of taking a serious hand but his losing run is mounting up and latest effort wasn't one of his best. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; no win anywhere since October 2024 but he's been placed this year on both his visits to Windsor (5f, good to firm); drawn wider this time but he's considered each-way. |

9st 4lb |
5yo mare who recorded her sixth AW win when scoring at Southwell (5f) last month; record of 0-10 on turf but she's 4lb lower back in this sphere and she ran well for a long way at Windsor in August; not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner who's been on the downgrade for some time and is on a losing run of 18; remains consistent enough but, like stablemate Marisitta, has a job on with Arnaz on the same terms as last Sunday. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Be An Angel didn't get the best of runs when this gelding was hot on her heels here last month; found wanting in a classified race since then; looks vulnerable. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-15 but has been running well since returning from seven months off in May, including when second of ten in his only previous start down at this level; beaten just over a length into second of six in a 0-55 handicap over C&D nine days ago and that reads well in this company. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (6) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
6f win at Salisbury on his seasonal return last month; series of good runs in defeat since but needs to raise his game judged on latest Bath effort (behind Darkened Edge and lucky to finish in front of Coco Hill). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Won at Salisbury on his reappearance and he has finished second over 5.7f here on his last two starts; should give it another good go. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 17 starts but she's dropped a long way in the weights and was a clear second over C&D (heavy; blinkers added) 11 days ago; that was a bold bid and she looks interesting off same mark here. |

Two wins over C&D this year, a 0-55 handicap in January and a 0-50 classified event in March; running well on turf lately and high on the list back here. |

4th 4 (10) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner who opened turf account at 22nd attempt, coming from off the pace at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; nudged up only 2lb for that and also suited by this C&D; likely contender again. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 2-38 but his last win was on AW here (1m2f) in March and he went close in an Epsom handicap (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's respected on this drop back in grade. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |
