29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground. |
7/2 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took a while to open her account but is a dual 5f course winner this year; also suited by 6f but current mark demands a career-best effort and some of her 3yo rivals have more potential. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win last June off a 2lb higher mark; has run some good races on AW this year, most recently finishing a close third of 11 at Kempton four weeks ago (6f); solid contender. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2lb lower than when gaining her only success at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last June and has the inside stall, but she does seem best at the minimum trip. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Fair second over C&D in January but she was unable to build on it at Chelmsford 12 days ago; up in class today and others are preferred. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winner over this trip but doesn't run over it often now, all starts this year having come over 5f; continues to tumble down the weights but has struggled in two runs back on turf latterly and others make more appeal. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Has six wins to his name but yet to score for his current trainer; best recent effort when runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; not out of this. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a six-runner classified stakes at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June; however, this 10yo hasn't been able to pose the same threat in his three handicap outings since May. |

6th 5 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins here, two of which were over today's distance; landed his first turf win in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June latest; withdrawn (upset in the stalls) five weeks ago; work to do back in a handicap. |
5/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who gained a first win on turf in Yarmouth classified event (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; work to do back in a handicap but this isn't the deepest of contests. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins have come over 5f, including one here; losing run is up to 20 and little to suggest he wants this far. |

5th 3 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Remains on a losing spell that goes back to his novice double in 2024 and has regressive results since switched to classified level, albeit perhaps needed latest run (back from break). |
11/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 5f novice winner in December 2024 but well below that form level these days, faring no better with a tongue-tie added when last seen in March (it's retained here); record when returning from a break is mixed. |
12/1 |
