3rd 3 (1) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All six wins on turf have been on good to firm, the most recent coming at Chepstow last July; narrowly denied at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July but below best following a habitual slow start at Windsor two weeks ago; still considered. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Held up; hat-trick last summer and twice runner-up from five starts this term, short-headed off this mark under Owen Lewis at Ffos Las (1m4f; 33-1) on latest; although not that consistent himself, he looks a lot more solid than most of today's rivals, not least because he's won three times here. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who's odds-on to blow the start; landed a hat-trick last summer over about this trip on good to firm ground, latterly off a 1lb higher mark, but not as consistent this time round; needs more. |

2nd 1 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable mare who wasn't beaten far last time at Epsom when just behind Imperical Cult; has run well in the last three renewals of this race, beaten 2l or less; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

9th 2 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who returns to turf 4lb higher than when last seen on it after a Polytrack win in the winter; 0-11 round here down the years and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Lingfield a month ago. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (fourth victory here) in December and collared only late on having set a good pace when fourth of eight in 1m Kempton handicap 45 days ago; he merits serious consideration eased 1lb in a headgear change. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |
11/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five-time winner who has been in good form this season and found only one too good over C&D a month ago; could have done without the 2lb nudge but should be involved; has competitive form in the reapplied tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Reliable sort with five wins in the bag; a beaten favourite on his last two starts, his turn may be near once more but he is 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won off a similar mark here (11.6f, firm) last August but that is her only success from 41 starts and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; down the list. |
16/1 |
|
4 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 1-40 but the win did come here (11.5f, firm) and her latest defeat can probably be put down to testing conditions; handicapped to be competitive. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Running well enough to think she can be involved to some extent but her convincing Bath win at about 1m3f in August came on firm ground and she has more to prove with the recent rain. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple 7f/1m winner down the years; stays this trip but she has plenty to prove starting out for a new stable after a 755-day absence. |

29th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of her 11 wins have come on the AW, including one here (7f), but has only been successful in one of her last 48 starts; plenty to prove starting out for another new yard after 193 days off. |
