3rd 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Regularly performed well since her Bath win in May; not got much in hand of this mark but still likely to be on the premises. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four 5f turf wins for this yard in 2025 and in good form this summer, doing well to get as close as she did from the widest draw at Chester two starts ago; however, she's 0-5 on the AW and it may be significant that she hasn't run on sand since March 2025. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In a good run of form and did well to threaten from the widest stall at Chester last time (5f, good); player. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
5f winner here last June for another trainer; has another career-low mark today, having lost his way; third race for current yard. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained sole success off a higher mark but isn't particularly solid on 2026 efforts, both in the spring; left Michael Attwater since; possibly best watched unless the betting speaks positively. |

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 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though. |
7/1 |
|
5 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; on dangerous mark but has bit to prove again after that last run and she's now 1-26 in handicaps; visor removed. |
11/2 |

2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten favourite on AW last time; only 1-25 in handicaps, compared to 2-5 at classified level, but has done her winning on turf and holds a fighting chance in this field. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has won four times over C&D but has shown little in four starts since returning from a 685-day absence last month. |
25/1 |
|
7 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner who finished second in this race in 2022; came back from a 685-day absence at the start of this month and that run, alongside the two that followed, don't suggest he's retained that old ability; risky at present. |
33/1 |
|
7 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time C&D winner; well handicapped on old form but returned from long absence with two low-key runs this summer, more recently when last of seven over 6f here on Thursday; visor refitted; revival needed. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-20 now but had ground/trip excuses for his three below-par runs in September/October and returned from break with fairly respectable fourth of six in Lingfield classified on Wednesday; not out of this if that recent outing has brought him on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
19-race maiden; out of sorts when last seen, albeit there were mitigating circumstances on his last three outings; others look safer. |
25/1 |
