20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who seems to have been aided by cheekpieces lately and made all to open her account at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) a week ago; respected under 5lb penalty here. |
11/4 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was runner-up with cheekpieces added on her Kempton reappearance (1m, AW; 5-1) last month; nudged up 1lb but the first three pulled clear last time and she's still unexposed at this trip; respected back on turf. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who isn't particularly solid on form; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time cheekpieces. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Creditable second on seasonal/stable debut at Thirsk (6f, good) in May, but not seen again until disappointing AW run last week (finished lame); could still have untapped potential over 7f but is not easy to predict. |
10/1 |
|
12th 4 (14) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate but she ran well on her seasonal and stable debut at Thirsk (6f, good), finishing second of 17; 2lb rise fair enough and she needs serious consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice over 6f on turf last summer; not seen to best effect on her return to AW six weeks ago; others appeal more. |

5 (12) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Best known as a sprinter; looked as good as ever when scoring over 6f two starts ago and her fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) suggests she can see out 1m but, nevertheless, specialist milers appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Chepstow (6f soft) when back on turf in June and followed up at Leicester (6f, good) in July, again finishing well from a long way off the pace; not sure to be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but still respected in current mood. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |

1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

Two of his four wins have been here but he's 4-61 overall and has offered little this year. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came over C&D under Millie Wonnacott last September; had the odd ground/trip excuse since and was messed around in the closing stages at Chepstow last time; chance. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second at Bath in the spring before appearing not to see out 1m2f on latest outing (not for the first time); last autumn's win (good to soft) came off a similar mark and it wouldn't be a shock were she to pop up. |

Scored off 2lb higher at Chepstow (1m, good) in June but in poor form since; suited by this C&D and will find this race easier than valuable series final he contested last time but still looks too risky. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

|
5th 5 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but he was a close third under a prominent ride in a classified event at Bath (1m, firm) when last seen in early July; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's ideally suited by slow ground |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won off her basement mark when dropped back to 1m at Chepstow (soft) in June but has not really built on that performance since and was just a respectable fifth behind James Park Woods over C&D last month. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Opened account off basement mark at Chepstow (1m, soft) in June, her 13th start; below that form lately but now back down to her winning mark, and will be suited by today's conditions. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |
33/1 |
|
17 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |
