27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Back to best when defeating the reopposing Magic Basma (La Brodeuse fourth, Brazilian Rose fifth) in 7f Musselburgh Listed race (good) on reappearance three weeks ago; more will be needed to defy a penalty but should be able to get a good position from her inside stall. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Went off the boil in Listed races at the end of last season; however, a break may have helped and she was progressive last term, with three handicap wins (6f, good/good to firm) and a good fourth of 18 in the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); can be in the mix if she's back to her best. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent and genuine filly who has done better the more she's raced, adding to three 6f handicap wins (good and good to firm; one over C&D) with a feisty show in fourth on unfavourable terms in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, soft) last month; can have a big say back at 6f. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unpenalised for last week's narrow win here when prominent throughout in the reapplied visor; had dropped to a good mark anyway so clear claims if he can hold his form, which is not always the case. |

1st 9 (11) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hit and miss this season but he is on a handy mark and form such as his third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on penultimate start brings him right into it; visor back on after two runs in cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed three times over 6f this summer and well handicapped on those efforts but his form has dipped lately and he remains without a win since 2024; needs to up his game on this first attempt at 5f. |
14/1 |

12th 3 (1) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since his 2yo debut and has proved patchy this year, having run only twice last season; below par on his two starts on the AW and others hold stronger claims. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner on the AW last season (5f/6f); not scored so far this term, but was runner-up at Salisbury in June (6f, good to firm) and Windsor in July (6f, good to firm); handles soft ground and well drawn but drop in trip may not be ideal on this sharp track. |
9/1 |

5th 13 (4) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Came up well short in series final (Class 2) at Windsor last time; knocking at the door otherwise this season but may ideally need a drop back in grade. |
14/1 |
|
12th 7 (15) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has stood up well to a busy year, winning three times and better than ever when successful at Brighton (7f, good) in September; not quite at that level in two runs since but perhaps fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces will help. |
9/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Notched a third success of 2026 at Brighton (7f) in September; backed it up with a solid fourth of nine in 7f handicap at Beverley 13 days ago; this consistent sort ought to be in the shake-up again. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |

9 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well here and is 2lb lower than when winning over C&D late last year; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and a case could be made for him. |
4/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just two starts since March but they came last month at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he ran with credit on both occasions; back on his last winning mark and he can go well again. |
