1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended long losing run with soft-ground C&D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away. |
9/2 |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |
10/1 |

Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden (0-13) who has gained four 7f wins on AW, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in March; twice placed during the summer, losing out by a neck (third) at Salisbury on penultimate start; returns from a break. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time winner on the AW and 0-12 on turf, but was only beaten a head and a short head into third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; 1lb higher, but still shortlisted. |
3/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Can lead; four AW wins at 7f but 0-11 on turf and the way he was finishing at Brighton in May suggests he won't be one of the stronger finishers with extra emphasis on stamina on this track. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Five-time winner on turf over 6f, most recently at Chepstow last June off 2lb higher; failed to beat a rival on his reappearance and he was behind Shades Of May when seventh at Salisbury (7f) two weeks ago; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Has gained all wins over 6f but went very close (off 3lb higher) in this race last year, albeit was in better form at the time; admittedly may prove resurgent with Brighton reappearance under his belt. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

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

Won a classified event over C&D last month; only fourth back in handicap company 16 days ago and this demands more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Can miss the break and/or pull hard but everything panned out when finally winning in a C&D 0-50 classified event a month ago; said to have been suited by being ridden more prominently that day and this no tougher if he can reproduce the effort. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden (5f-7f) who's been tried in two forms of headgear; runs in his first classified, he usually over-races and can miss the kick, so will never come without risk. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His only win since 2023 came in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; has made the frame in four of his last five starts and holds place claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ended long losing spell when holding on by a nose in C&D classified in January and has made the frame here (1m, AW/1m1f, turf) on his last two appearances; likely contender. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Will be happier back up from 1m after a better effort on the AW here three weeks ago; more than capable off this mark but has only won one of his last 32 starts, with plenty of short-priced defeats to his name during that time. |

Twice placed off 2lb higher both here (7f) and at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) earlier in year; modest in two starts after returning last month, though, and has never attempted this far before. |

8th 9 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |

Campaigned mostly on AW but ran well (close fifth off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago and that form puts her in the picture; possibly needed latest run (back from a break). |
8/1 |

8th 5 (3) |

Back to form with a good second at Wolverhampton last week (7f); has a C&D win on his record and a repeat of that latest run would give him a chance but consistency hasn't always been his strong suit. |

Multiple winner elsewhere and he's 0-4 here; only 2lb higher than for his recent win at Salisbury but his latest run there was disappointing, for all that it was in a Class 5. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |

17 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back to form to open account with clearcut 7f win here last month, her tenth start; it's hard to predict whether she'll build on that success but a 4lb rise does not seem excessive and she should be okay back at 1m. |

Maiden who was a close second of 12 at Wolverhampton (extended 1m, AW) in October but has finished no nearer than fifth in five starts this year; has tried other aids, hood and eyeshield today; looks unlikely. |

Maiden who's been as far as 1m4f and hasn't run in a sprint since his debut; has been making the running over further of late but whether he'll be able to from the outside stall round here is a question and he has something to find anyway. |

8th 8 (4) |
30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Maiden who's not without hope off this mark if the first-time tongue-tie helps back from a seven-week break; best efforts have come on Tapeta but he's only had a few runs on turf to date. |
