21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best known as a Chepstow regular; yet to win this season but she's largely consistent and handles any ground; can make her presence felt under Oisin Murphy. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up twice over 5f at Goodwood (good to firm/soft) in August/September and didn't run badly on heavy ground last time; now only 1lb higher than for C&D win in May and, with Tom Marquand a good booking, she might be the answer. |
4/1 |

6th 13 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bath winner in May (5f, good); plenty of sound runs since, including when runner-up at Goodwood last time (5f, soft); contender. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Reliable sprinter who has been placed several times since her Bath win in May; back to that winning mark now and Oisin Murphy is booked; solid claims. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in June last year and now 12lb lower, but his five efforts this year (including three for this yard) don't suggest he is ready to take advantage. |
20/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
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. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

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. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed 9yo but in a consistent run of form and bang there on good to soft and good in his last two races; go back far enough and he has competitive form on soft. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran who arrives in good form, most recently finishing second of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago; each-way shout off the same mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
|

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 |
