15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |

Unfavourably treated on these terms but he's in form after back-to-back handicap wins at 6f; should give his running. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025 (including this race) but he arrives well below his best, only sixth of nine in C&D handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins and three seconds from eight runs here and he will be happier sprinting again having not seen out 1m last month; time has looked to be catching up this year, however, and Legendsoftheland appears his trainer's best chance. |

Best handicap effort was at his first attempt, when a close fourth at Ffos Las (6f, good); would have claims if in that form and it's still early days in this sphere; bit to prove on soft. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Denied a clear run when fourth in first-time visor (retained since) in Bath classified two starts ago; however, he didn't really build on that in a handicap at Chepstow last time and has won just one of his 37 starts. |
12/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Looked unlucky not to finish closer to the target when fourth in recent Bath classified (5.7f, good to firm; first-time visor) but has poor strike-rate (1-36) and makes only limited appeal on this handicap return. |

Out of the frame in six starts, as when behind three of these over C&D (good; first-time blinkers) six weeks ago; others more appealing. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Poor form in five starts (6f-7f); hopes pinned on the new blinkers sparking a transformation; bred to do better at some point. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Safely held when seventh of 11 on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but remains very unexposed (particularly over this trip) and might come on for the run. |
