12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The fitting of cheekpieces saw her get off the mark for the season at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July; finished second in two of her four runs since, including when blinkers (retained) were given a go at Brighton 19 days ago; tongue-tie now enlisted. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Can lead; the most recent of her seven wins came on the AW at Lingfield last November and she's finished runner-up three times this year, including when 1l behind a subsequent winner three weeks ago; can go well. |

Six-time turf winner; placed a few times since returned to that sphere; only 1-16 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off 3lb higher); in form and has a fighting chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb lower; three wins this year, the latest a runaway success at Brighton last month, but his progress has stalled on his last two starts; needs to raise his game again. |
10/1 |

19th 16 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; back-to-back wins over the extended 5f at Brighton this summer, the latter by a wide margin under Jude Fernandes this month; below-form third turned out under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) four days later and another 4lb higher now. |

3rd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Some good efforts in defeat in 7f turf handicaps last summer but successfully returned to sprints this year, winning at Bath (5f, good) and 6f (good to firm) on this track; perhaps good to soft ground counted against her last time but needs more off her current mark back at 7f. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Can be slowly away but not last time when a cosy winner at Brighton (6f, good to firm); up 4lb but has competitive form off this sort of mark. |

1st 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |

9st 9lb |
Came good for current stable at Kempton (1m, AW) last week, his fourth run since a long absence; has 5lb penalty here and the return to turf is not sure to suit but he's in good nick and unexposed over this trip. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Made the breakthrough in a Lingfield handicap (1m, Polytrack) in August 2024 but he's had only four runs since and has finished down the field in all of them; wasn't beaten far at Lingfield (1m4f classified) last month but he's now 1-11 and others are more convincing. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kempton win last autumn came when she was fresh, as did her Leicester victory three weeks ago (during a good spell for yard; gone quieter since); a 5lb rise for winning that small-field affair from the front will test her. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Achieved one of her best RPRs when back from a break at Thirsk last April (runner-up; 6f, good) and when starting out for George Baker following a break at Kempton in November (6f; won when sporting this headgear combination for the first time); not quite so effective in two runs since but yard is now red hot; respected; withdrawn after showing reluctance to post at Salisbury recently. |
11/4 |
|
3 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark. |
