7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won a couple of 0-50 classified events in June, including over C&D, before held under a penalty in a Windsor handicap over further; perhaps that came too soon in a race that didn't pan out her way and she could well bounce back. |
7/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Got off the mark in 7f classified event at Leicester and quickly followed up in similar company at Brighton (7f) six days ago; a bit more is needed here back in handicap company under a 6lb penalty but she still must enter calculations. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Consistent sort who gained a deserved first success in 11-runner classified event at Windsor (1m2f) 11 days ago; he's just as effective over this 1m trip and weighted to go well again. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 but looked unlucky not to finish closer when third of nine in a 0-70 handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) last time; not certain to back that up but would be a player if he can. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both AW wins (his latest) were on Kempton Polytrack in November 2024; effective over C&D, edging down the weights and often not far away but others are preferred for win purposes. |
14/1 |

6th 10 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both AW wins have been on the AW at Kempton in November 2024 (7f/1m); creditable third of 13 at Lingfield (7.5f, good) in May and now switches back to the AW having been off since; place chance. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Achieved his first placing at the 12th attempt when third of five in a handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago (first two have both won since); may have been unfortunate not to be placed in a similar race to this over 1m here the time before; each-way claims. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Latest fifth of nine in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time visor) was probably better than it looks, but he has finished unplaced in all 11 starts so something extra will be needed. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow winner of C&D (good to firm) handicap in September and went close in this grade here (7f, good) in June; safely held on AW at Lingfield since but was poorly positioned on outside of the field there and can do better here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just three wins from 64 starts but he returned after a short break with a near-miss in a classified at Brighton (7f, good) last month; has possibilities back up in trip and his first two wins came on AW at Lingfield. |

9st 9lb |
21-race maiden who was safely held when sixth in this grade here (1m) yesterday behind River Wharfe; he clearly needs to raise his game. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
20-race maiden who returned from a break with two disappointing runs this summer (1m/7f), the latter in this grade in refitted cheekpieces; not yet proven over 1m; others have much stronger claims. |
16/1 |
Betting Forcast
7/2 King David, 9/4 Shes Got The Blues, 5/1 Letsbeatsepsis, 10/1 Avispado, 16/1 The Spotlight Kid, 20/1 James Park Woods, 13/2 Turpin, 8/1 Rainbow Sign, 14/1 Rock Master
Verdict
Although she hung away her chance here last time, SHES GOT THE BLUES is a winner at the track and Silvestre De Sousa takes over from a claiming rider. King David has to be feared after his narrow miss here last week, while Rainbow Sign has a solid chance.[Alistair Jones]
