18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gave willingly to brush off a 5lb penalty at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) 11 days ago; steps up in grade (from 4lb higher) in pursuit of the hat-trick for an in-form trainer; no issue with this track, so obvious claims with Oisin Murphy aboard. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came from off the pace to collar odds-on favourite and cause 25-1 surprise at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; only to due to go up 4lb for that but takes her chance under a 5lb penalty here and remains well handicapped on older form. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); fair second to in-form rival at Musselburgh in May (1m1f, good) but a bit more needed. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-18; beaten favourite her last four starts, but is holding form (3523), going under by less than a length to Virtual Hug over 1m4f here (same mark) five weeks ago; fine over this shorter trip, and has a capable claimer back aboard. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Lingfield (1m2f) in December and has remained in good form since; may not have had enough use made of her when dropped back to 8.6f here a fortnight ago but still ran well; also suited by 1m4f; leading contender. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Only 1-16 but she's a versatile and consistent filly who is effective at 1m-1m4f; drops back in trip, having taken a good hold the last twice; possibilities with Harry Vigors taking off a useful 7lb. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner; ran well when second of 15 at Chester (1m4f, good) in May but she's been below her best in the four starts since; on a workable mark but others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail. |
16/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time; back in calmer waters now but she looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy profile but she's won twice this year including a comfortable one under Myla Coppins at Brighton (1m2f classified) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but her turf wins have been on good/good to firm and it would be a concern if the conditions become testing. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this last year and a weak 0-50 on Tapeta in March; has never been anything close to consistent but ran respectably, beaten only 2l despite traffic issues, returned to classified level here (1m) on Wednesday. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won in this grade at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March and is also suited by this track but her recent handicap form has been disappointing; tried in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces are refitted today. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins came over C&D in the winter; hasn't been in the same form since returning on turf last month but 2lb lower than her last winning mark so cannot dismiss. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice on AW off higher marks over the winter; she has more to prove on turf but a big run wouldn't be a huge surprise. |
33/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over 9.4f on the AW during the winter; probably okay on turf (0-4) but last two runs were heavy defeats and she's been off since March. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events in January including two wins here (7f/1m); has found life tougher in handicaps since then, though, and may need a return to the basement level. |
20/1 |
|
11th 6 (11) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nailed a rapid AW classified hat-trick in January for Ian Williams but her subsequent form in handicaps for that yard and this doesn't compare; maybe her return to this sphere will help but she needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Legs two and three of her January hat-trick for Ian Williams came here (7f/1m); went off the boil for him and hard to fancy on what she's done in three starts for this yard. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) in her last two runs; 0-14 on turf but she had some placed form at Windsor last summer and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; not ruled out |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back on her last winning mark (C&D in February) following a couple of below-par efforts on turf; ought to fare better but Daisy Roots is perhaps her trainer's most interesting contender. |
12/1 |
