7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in May and won there (7f, good to firm) in June; soundly beaten sixth of seven there (7f, good to firm) last time; this lightly raced 4yo is not written off but needs to bounce back. |

Has performed well over C&D (good to firm) in last two starts, finishing third then opening her account; this low-mileage 4yo may well improve further; respected kept to same scenario. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Marco Botti last June; back on song for his current stable when second of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable. |
10/1 |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Mostly running well since late last year, including a second success over this C&D (good to firm) last month; ran with credit when fourth of 11 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago and high on the list back here, especially if the ground continues to dry out. |
5/1 |

4th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Added to her good record over 7f at Redcar when comfortably seeing off ten rivals on good to firm 12 days ago; a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if turning up in a similar mood. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only turf success came off a 2lb higher mark at this meeting last year (7f, good to firm); has run two sound races over C&D on turf this season (behind Perfidia on first occasion, but is 4lb better off); well drawn and should go well again. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton earlier this year and she also scored on turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in July; has claims on that form, but she's taken two backward steps since and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice over C&D earlier this year; scored on turf last month (when hood discarded) and may still be on the upgrade; should run well. |

3rd 6 (6) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
4yo who gained her third success when winning over this C&D on good to firm 18 days ago, beating ten rivals; steps up in grade off a 5lb higher mark but there could be more to come on turf. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Still to add to her 2yo novice win; finished second of eight at Redcar (7f, good) in May but not in the same form in either run since; opposable. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 on turf but her last three runs (all 7f on good/good to firm) show that she can be competitive from her mark. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

0-7 on turf but only beaten just over a length in her last two starts, the latest when second of eight at Redcar (7f, good) this month; that form is working out well and respected off 1lb higher. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Narrow win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; 0-55 handicap); not so good since, including in a classified race last week, and others are preferred for win purposes. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came from well off the pace to win a handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in May, but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since and this track isn't sure to suit his hold-up style; others preferred. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Came from an unpromising position to win a 7f handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) in May; has not matched it in two runs since and this isn't sure to set up for him. |

Not beaten far into fifth of 13 in a better race at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race last year; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runs; all three wins at 7f, the latest on Newcastle AW last August; probably found the return to 1m was pushing it on Kempton AW 15 days ago but he ran well for a long way and this test will work better for him. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A two-time 7f winner last summer; in good form this season until only seventh of nine in 7f Musselburgh handicap 16 days ago; the sort to bounce back though. |

9st 12lb |
Off the mark at Leicester in July (1m, good to firm) and sound effort when second at Doncaster next time (1m, good to firm); not quite so good last twice; has form on good to soft, but first run on soft ground. |
6/1 |

4th 14 (11) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Overcame trouble to win at Leicester (1m) and nearly followed up at Doncaster; reportedly ran too freely there last time; could be given another chance off what remains a fair mark. |
20/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark on first run over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) this month, despite not getting the best of runs; backed it up when running on from the rear for neck second over C&D (good to firm) last Saturday; out again before a 2lb rise for that kicks in. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Close up in 7f events as a 3yo but she hasn't been her old self at 7f and 6f this year, in different headgear in two of her last three starts (none today); looks unlikely for now. |
20/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

4yo maiden who has raced mainly at further; two duck eggs this term leave a doubt over current form; chance of revival depends on the effects of this belated return to sprinting, combined with first-time visor. |
13/2 |

10th 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September, but there was a heavy defeat on his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago. |
16/1 |

15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |
