31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a C&D handicap last month but twice a beaten favourite in classified events here shortly afterwards; had a short break since but he has more to do off his revised mark; one of four runners for Tony Carroll. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Better than the bare result (met traffic issues late on) in similar event on Monday when bidding for a quickfire C&D double; can be treated as still in form; enters calculations. |
2/1 |

7th 1 (1) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing a C&D handicap (4-1) last Monday; has a penalty back in a classified event but that was a comfortable success last time and all of his AW wins have come at this track; key player. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
She has won over C&D but better known for her 5f exploits more recently; ran well at Windsor in July but failed to fire at Chepstow four weeks ago (her tenth course run but reportedly unsuited by the undulations of the track); others make more appeal. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who has been threatening further success and was close up despite a troubled run at Windsor ten days ago (good to firm); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 5f win at Wolverhampton and posted a good second at Bath (5.5f) in April; off since a below-par fifth there (5.5f) in May but she has won when fresh. |

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. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Fair third in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, AW) ten days ago but this is tougher back in a handicap and her sole win was on Polytrack in December 2023; hood reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
18th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came over Dundalk's Polytrack 6f, though about as effective on turf at her best; trail went cold from the end of last summer, and didn't lay down enough of a marker on this month's return to persuade. |
7/1 |

Ex-Irish filly who regressed for this yard last year; returns from six months off and Jack Doughty, who's often ridden her, partners stablemate My Genghis. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Regressive since coming over from Ireland and has done her racing over 7f-1m during the past year; turned in two poor efforts this spring and is tried in first-time blinkers dropping to the minimum trip. |
25/1 |
|
14th 13 (1) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Her losing run stands at 21 but she ran some good races over C&D last year; usual hood was absent when well beaten on her return to action two weeks ago and it remains off today. |

Sprang an 80-1 shock at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last July but nothing comparable since, including on last month's return to action. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Scored at 80-1 to land a classified contest over C&D last July but ran poorly in handicaps subsequently; makes his first appearance of the year but hard to fancy. |
33/1 |

13th 12 (3) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

80-1 for a classified at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in July and made all; big majority of his performances, however, make him very hard to fancy. |
