1st 8 (9) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Doubled his tally when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and followed up with a narrow success here on turf 24 days ago; a 1lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. |
9/4 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close second twice on good to firm turf last month before winning in first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta (also 7f) 11 days ago; 5lb higher here but commands respect in current form; usual tongue-tie (left off last time) is refitted. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by AW and won at Wolverhampton (6f maiden) in November, with two bits of form on Chelmsford Polytrack too; beaten a neck at Southwell (6f) in April but below form since over 6f, 7f and 1m, so others look more solid; wears headgear first time. |

6th 11 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Suited by AW but has shown best form over 6f, including a close second at Southwell; modest fourth returned to 7f last time; something to prove over this new trip. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden who continues to race freely, so dropping back from 7f might be no bad thing; wouldn't be the percentage play, though. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last December on third start; soundly beaten in three handicaps this season; others have more compelling claims. |
9/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last December on third start; soundly beaten in 1m handicaps on her two starts this season; showed pace last time and it's possible this lightly raced 3yo will be suited by today's first crack at sprinting, but others have more compelling claims. |
8/1 |
Betting Forcast
8/11 Musical Soldier, 10/1 Paranjape, 7/1 Heir Of Ambition, 8/1 Ahead Of Fashion, 7/2 Laughterintherain
Verdict
Musical Soldier has a major chance in the retained cheekpieces, provided the return to 1m doesn’t backfire. However, LAUGHTERINTHERAIN looks a plausible alternative returned to the scene of her peak effort.[Steve Boow]
