13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a losing run but he has dropped to a basement mark and he was running on well when fourth behind the front-running Aspire To Glory over C&D 15 days ago; drawn widest this time and may find one or two stronger. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Never really got competitive at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and remains without a win this season but went close off 3lb higher at Chepstow (7f, good) in June and 1m also suits; worth a glance in the betting. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins at Chepstow this summer; well beaten at that track three weeks ago but it was a Class 2 series final and he was well out of the weights; capable of bouncing back with a big run at this more suitable level. |
8/1 |
|
13th 12 (14) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Three course wins already this year, the latest by a neck over 7f (good to firm) 13 days ago (won on soft ground in June); placed four times from six starts over C&D and could go well again despite being 3lb out of the weights. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Effective on soft ground; only 1-28 and when second of 11 at Chepstow (7f; stays 1m) she was one of three to race in one group; still has a fair bit going for her. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on fast and soft ground and she's effective at up to 1m; just one win from 27 starts but that came at this track (6f, good to firm) in June and she was runner-up here on her penultimate run; could be in the mix back up in trip. |
4/1 |

C&D winner in June (drop to 6f helped) off 5lb lower, who finished best of the rest, and just ahead of stablemate Some Nightmare, behind Arnaz here nine days ago; will do well to turn that round on the same terms. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-time winner but his last success was on heavy ground at Bath (1m) over a year ago; well handicapped on that form but he's 0-10 this season and has been laboured in last two runs; regular cheekpieces are now removed and has something to prove from tough draw. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; got pestered for the lead when down the field at Wolverhampton next time, but she's hard to predict and this looks tough from a wide draw. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |
