21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable mare who won won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and has finished a close fourth at Lingfield and over C&D (good to firm) in her last two starts; this is competitive against some progressive 3yos but she's been as good as ever this year and should go well again. |

4th 1 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Consistent record this term features an AW success; ran respectably, despite a tardy start, on the turf course at Lingfield most recently; remains on career-high mark but has a solid chance. |
3/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last August who subsequently added two AW wins, latterly in five-runner event at Newcastle (7f) off 3lb lower in March; looked a little unlucky when close third over C&D (good) off this mark in May and she's got a solid chance of giving Bahrain Champion Jockey Ebrahim Nader his first winner in Britain. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable 5yo who was too strong for Dion Baker here last month and now bids for a hat-trick off 4lb higher; solid chance. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Has a modest 2-39 strike-rate, but his latest win came over C&D in December and he is back off the same mark; worth a second look. |

3rd 4 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look. |

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 |

4th 5 (6) |
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. |

7th 9 (6) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winner here this time last year (1m) and also won in early September 2024; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so there are positives under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins and several solid efforts in defeat round here, all over 1m (won over 7f on the turf course last summer); back on her last successful mark and is one to consider under Donagh Murphy, who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company. |
5/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Six-time winner, including twice on Polytrack at Lingfield, and her first two runs of the campaign were encouraging; below that level on turf last time but she is the type to bounce back. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who belatedly opened her account at Bath (5f, good) in June, her 19th start; also ran well when close third at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) on latest outing; shortlisted. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath (good) last month; still looks on a workable mark but she's not easy to predict and was disappointing after a slow start at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; risks attached. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
0-15; third of seven over C&D on his penultimate start; has dropped 11lb this calendar year and has a chance from this mark on several pieces of form in that period; below par at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) latest; jockey has been in the first four in 22-31 rides for this trainer (five seasons). |
10/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-14; third of seven in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but still to fully convince he wants this sort of trip; Tapeta debut. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13; down the field at Lingfield (7f, good) 17 days ago but he now returns to AW off a mark 8lb lower than when second of eight here over 7f in October; stamina for this far is a question mark but his pedigree suggests it's worth exploring (dam 1m2f/15.5f winner). |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going front-runner who's won five already this year, including a four-timer in high summer (5f-7f); another in-form effort off his revised mark last time and won't mind the drop from 7f or the return to Tapeta. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Six wins this year, including his last four starts; coped well with the return to 5f at Hamilton last month but the return to 7f won't hurt; now moves out of Class 6 company but can't be discounted in current form. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |

Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina. |

7th 10 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Course winner who returned from five months off with a very good second of nine over C&D last month, faring best of those held up; a player nudged up 1lb. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade. |
