22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton in March and she's gone close back at this track (5f/5,6f, firm) in last two runs; only 1lb higher than for her runner-up effort three weeks ago and she should make another bold bid. |
15/8 |

2nd 1 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who won on her reappearance at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month; bounced back from a lesser effort with a good run here over 5f on Monday; leading contender. |

Has plenty of Bath form but mostly over the extended 5f, including three wins; below par returned to this venue last time after two sound AW performances at Wolverhampton. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to Tony Carroll and left a couple of quiet AW runs behind when scoring over C&D (beat She Went Whoosh by nearly 3l) and at Brighton (6f) in May; came up short in hat-trick bid at Windsor on Monday but was out of his comfort zone early over the bare 5f before plugging on into fifth; not dismissed if turned out quickly. |
9/4 |

5th 3 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again. |

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has won two of her last three on the AW, taking overall record on synthetics to 6-14; last time she dictated from the front at Wolverhampton (4lb lower); seemed to handle turf fine in three previous attempts, though not on ground this slow. |

1st 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Promise on turf last summer and has made good progress on AW since November, winning five times here (three over today's distance); came up short over C&D last month and the handicapper may now have her measure. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

A three-time 6f AW winner in 2025 and in good nick over the winter; just as effective on turf and this quirky sort is not out of things back from a break today. |

Landed this race off 7lb higher last year; couldn't get involved over the bare 5f here 18 days ago but his two previous runs over this slightly longer trip were encouraging; likely there or thereabouts. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Last three turf wins came on this track, on extremes of going; went quiet on the AW earlier in the year but he came from a long way back to take a late third over C&D in May and has better claims than most. |

24-race maiden; placed over C&D in May when blinkers were tried for the first time; not built on that in three runs since and now tried in a visor. |

7th 3 (5) |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden after 23 starts but he has posted some fair efforts recently, notably when third of 11 at Bath (5.5f, firm; first-time blinkers) in May; fifth of eight at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims now back in trip; blinkers back on (replacing cheekpieces). |
11/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of ten in 5.5f Bath classified event eight days ago when very slowly away; one to consider in a change of headgear. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Races prominently (effective from the front) and he's having a cracking campaign, including when back to turf for first and second in tight finishes at Brighton on last two outings; back up another 3lb and didn't shine here earlier in career, but he needs plenty of respect now. |
5/1 |

Effective from the front as he showed when making all and winning by a nose over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; 4lb rise begs a question, though, and he is unraced on ground softer than good. |

Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind. |
