30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Eight-time winner, the latest at Bath on her seasonal return in April (5f, good to firm); three solid efforts have followed and she's likely to give her running once again. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Absent since her second to Miss Show Off at Salisbury in early May; reappearance showed she can win when fresh but unplaced efforts in this race the last two years suggest a supporting role is more likely. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |

2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won the corresponding race in 2024; up and down in 2026 and due to be 2lb lower from the weekend; needs to bounce back to take this. |

5th 2 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
11 races here include one of her three wins; no score since August 2024 and although her two minor honours this year give her a shout, she needs to bounce back from a lesser show when favourite here three weeks ago. |
8/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

On a long losing run but she arrives in decent nick, ridden too aggressively when seventh of 12 over 6f here two weeks ago; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ready win in a 5f Class 4 handicap at Salisbury in May; struggled since and hopes appear to rest on the return to 6f sparking a full revival. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Regained the winning thread at Salisbury in May, beating Lil Guff, and has seemed unsuited by sharper scenarios since; this return to a stiffer 5f looks a plus. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form with clearcut win at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month but she was only ninth of 13 at Goodwood next time; that was a Class 3 and now drops back in grade but she's not easy to predict and others are more solid. |

On a long losing sequence and he came in a below-par seventh of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; yet to score on turf too. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |

3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |

20th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Promise as a 3yo for Michael Bell, including a wide-margin maiden win at Lingfield (5f, AW); showed he could be competitive off this sort of mark in November 2023 but he has been absent since a disappointing run 500 days ago; gelded/changed yard since and the addition of a hood looks a good move; the absence aside, the return to turf is a concern as he was well beaten in two previous attempts. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |
4/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |
