21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Second in this in 2024 (good to firm) and won at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March but unplaced on her four starts since, well beaten at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) most recently when reverting to turf following a break. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
2-21 on turf and 3-21 on AW, with latest win in March; usually seen over shorter; her last turf run was last September and that 2025 turf campaign went the wrong way, but at least she has a lower mark this time. |
33/1 |

C&D winner against her own sex under Joanna Mason early last month off a 2lb lower mark; continued in form since and this is less competitive, so she needs a look. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Wolverhampton AW winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell, a hurdles winner in October and back on the Flat with three good runs this year, when facing a very stiff task in Listed race on latest; unraced beyond that 1m6f on Flat but she's half-sister to a staying celebrity in Big Orange, which heightens interest. |
15/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Dual Wolverhampton AW winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell, a hurdles winner in October and back on the Flat with two good AW runs (1m2f/1m3f handicaps) this year; has a bit more to prove as turf performer on the Flat and also over this new trip, with a big step forward required at this level. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.5f/1m4f) for Michael Bell and won over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) in October on her second start for this yard; caught the eye with a strong-finishing sixth of 12 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 22 days ago and will be suited by this extra furlong. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in February and in good form since, not seen to ideal effect when fifth of nine in 1m4f Goodwood handicap 19 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Tough mare who has been in good form on the AW since December (13341333), the wins coming at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) and here (1m3f); return to this trip should suit and unlikely to be far away. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strike-rate of 4-18; winless this year but perhaps found good to firm ground too lively on her latest start and she had been running well before then; tactically versatile and she's on a perfectly fair mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m5f, good) who went very close at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; she was last of five here (1m5f, good) last Saturday but was beaten just under 2l having led at a steady pace, and she's not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time winner (at up to 1m5f) in 2025; easily best run this season when a clear second of six in 1m4f handicap at Ripon 24 days ago; a likely player despite taking a 2lb rise here. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win tactical race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in June and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when clear second to revitalised rival over C&D (good to firm) on Tuesday; commands respect. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month, but didn't match that form off the same mark at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) one week later; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces for last year's winning stable. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when narrowly coming out on top in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and is respected. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied. |
