15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 8yo who returned from a break with two low-key runs (8.3f/7f) in June/July; should be fine over today's longer trip and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
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. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins as a 3yo came over a round 1m on soft ground and she's entitled to have come on for her Ripon return seven weeks ago; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
7th 12 (6) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins at 1m on soft in 2023; runner-up on two occasions last season and she was fourth of 14 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in November when last seen; has won fresh before and would appreciate any rain. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this year (two on soft), the latest when edging out Astronomica at Nottingham in June; now needs to bounce back from quieter runs, latterly in the Bath race dominated by two of today's rivals. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins this year including two over C&D (soft) in the spring; fast ground was against her at Doncaster last time and has been off for 68 days since, but she has won fresh; still on a career-high mark, but the return to a soft surface would be a plus. |
6/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off campaign with two wins at Bath (1m, soft) before a good second there (1m, good), and she returned to winning ways at Nottingham (1m, good to soft); it's unlikely she's going to be on slow ground today, which dents confidence somewhat, but this thriving mare is still respected. |

Won 8.6f Wolverhampton Class 6 handicap in December; not so good at Lingfield eight days later and off for two months since; may do better again now. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Several good runs in Class 6 turf events this summer, winning at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; not at her best last time and others look stronger. |
10/1 |
|

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had been threatening for a while before winning for Taryn Langley over 7f here, back in the cheekpieces, off 4lb lower 11 days ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark but the extra furlong's fine round a course she likes, and she's a player. |
7/1 |
|
3 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here (good to firm) last month and went down fighting when very close second to Romanovich over C&D (good) a fortnight later; wears headgear for first time since 2023; likely to make her presence felt again. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well for second over C&D on his seasonal return in June and went one better at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 31 days ago; found little off the bridle when well beaten at Salisbury on Friday; would have a point to prove if turned out quickly. |
7/2 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from seven months off with a good second at Brighton and went one better at Sandown four weeks ago (both 1m on good to firm); 4lb rise manageable and Simon Walker a positive booking. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Patchy campaign last season but he's 2lb lower than when winning at Newbury (1m, good) last May and reappeared with a good second at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; in the mix if backing that up. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |

Very up and down in ten races for Richard Hughes but did win over Bath's 1m on soft ground in October (2lb lower); could go well back from a break with rain about. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |
