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. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

Three turf wins (fast ground) since rejoining Tony Carroll, one of them coming over C&D; up in the weights as a result and the recent rain will suit others more. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hold-up performer who won two in a row in May (5.7f/6f, good to firm) before keeping on for fifth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm), and he was back on the scoresheet at Bath (5.7f, firm) three weeks ago; the return to a bare 5f may not be ideal but the stiff track compensates; respected. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
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. |

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. |
9/2 |

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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
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. |

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 |

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. |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |

16th Jul 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

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. |
16/1 |
|
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. |

Consistent and likes it here; 7lb better off with Secret Handsheikh than when second to him over C&D this month but has spent most of his career running in lesser company and is currently weighted to his best; faded late over 6f here on Sunday. |

Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away. |

3-29 on the AW compared to 1-23 on turf, the last two successes coming at Southwell in January (6f/7f); went close at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago and will have no issue with the drop back in trip; respected. |
