4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In cracking form of late, winning five times last month including once at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack); has coped well with the quick turnaround when gaining those victories and not opposed easily in his current mood, despite a welter burden under a 5lb penalty. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Winner of his last four races, two at Brighton (6f/7f, good to firm/soft), on the AW at Lingfield (7f) and the latest off 3lb lower at Leicester (6f, good to soft); should go well again. |
6/4 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Win number five this season, four for Jack Callan, and a 5lb penalty for last Monday's Brighton victory (7f, soft) sees him 25lb higher than for his opening success in April; evidently well suited by switchback tracks and this is a different test but he'll be popular again. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |

Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Half of his wins have come over C&D and he finished sixth (Fortamour third) in this race in 2024; runner-up in added blinkers at Hamilton (6f, soft; 11-2) last September, but has failed to sparkle since (0-3); easing mark and a return to Ripon are the positives. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Multiple 6f winner, mainly on softer than good, most recently off current mark at Carlisle last May; inconsistent since and has something to prove back up in trip. |
14/1 |

6th 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Back on much the same mark as his latest win, an amateur jockeys' race at Carlisle (good to soft) last May; has won on reappearance but he tends to need the run these days. |

Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Yet to build on the promise of her 2yo debut, but she now tackles her first Class 6 handicap on her return from a seven-month break; still has time to do better. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick. |
8/1 |

7 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |

Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates. |

9st 2lb |
Back to the same career-low mark she cashed in on in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June (6f, good), progress having stalled again since; holds Connie's Rose and Papabella on last month's Leicester clash, albeit she was fairly well held herself; place rather than win claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Below her best in one run on good to soft and was taken out on account of soft ground early in the month, so could do with some drying weather; proved consistent since blinkers went on but needs to find a bit more from somewhere. |

Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best. |

2 (8) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course. |

Made a winning start for her new connections when coming home 2.25l clear of her rivals in a Class 5 at Chelmsford 16 days ago (5f); she looked to be going nowhere through the first half of that race, under the pump before the field had completed a furlong, but the pace folded and she was strong at the finish; a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out. |

Unexposed 3yo who showed signs of ability in a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) last month, but she was always in rear at another big price on handicap debut at Leicester last time; looks interesting on that penultimate effort but she needs to leave her latest form well behind. |
