6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win at Windsor (6f) in September but she has failed to build on it since handicapping, ninth of 11 over 7f here 16 days ago; mark is falling but she still needs to take a big step forward. |
16/1 |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Sprung a surprise in a soft-ground Windsor maiden last September; no impact in handicaps since but the ground has been good to firm back on turf on her last two starts and today's conditions should be a bit closer to those which she encountered when winning; no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Better on turf than a 1-21 record might suggest; two recent backward steps (never travelling here latest) but recorded a pair of near misses here before those, including over C&D off 2lb higher. |
6/1 |

6th 8 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sprung a surprise at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in February and made it three wins from his last four starts when winning over this C&D 26 days ago; runner-up has won since and this 6yo is a contender off this 3lb higher mark. |
5/2 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
3-31 for Tim Easterby, including a Catterick win (5f, good) last August; second at Lingfield (6f, AW) on stable debut in December but not so good in her three runs since, so others have more pressing claims; some headgear (not used by current yard) returns. |

Ex-Tim Easterby; Catterick winner last August (5f, good) and good second at Lingfield on stable debut (6f) in December; last two runs have been a bit disappointing. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Rare Flat runner for his jumps-orientated yard; his win for Stan Moore came over 1m (Polytrack) and he went 1m2f once, so he has a bit to overcome running after such a long absence and in a sprint for the first time. |

On a losing run but she was in form at a low level earlier in the year, including when third over C&D 119 days ago; cheekpieces now given a go; chance. |
4/1 |

3rd 8 (10) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won handicaps at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) and Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in 2024; has made the frame in both starts since dropped to this level and is frame material again, provided her stamina holds out. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Her two best efforts this winter have come over C&D but she will need a personal best if she is to make it 13th time lucky. |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
5/1 Margorie, 11/4 Call Glory, 6/1 Shades Of May, 5/1 Amathus, 10/1 Beau Jardine, 10/1 Happier, 10/1 Endowed, 20/1 Snooker McCrew, 8/1 Stacey Racey, 20/1 Miraflores
Verdict
Amathus and Endowed are the oldest contenders but they enter calculations, having finished first and second in this race 12 months ago. Call Glory (second pick) may be capable of finally doubling his turf tally but the suggestion is MARGORIE, whose encouraging Chepstow effort suggests this return to 7f is well worth exploring and who has slipped to a mark that allows her into 0-55 grade.[Steve Boow]
