26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a deserved second success of 2026 (after four second placings) over C&D in September; not ideally drawn when 11th of 16 in 7f Newbury handicap last week so not out of things here. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Dug deep to justify strong market support in 6f Ripon handicap (soft; has also won on good to firm) 18 days ago; below par on his previous attempt over 7f but the way he stuck on at Ripon suggests this sort of trip could be within range. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won on soft and good to firm but he doesn't seem quite the horse he was in 2025, albeit he did stick on when third at Salisbury latest off a reduced mark; likely more needed today; yard runs two. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 2yo/3yo; he has faced some stiff tasks for his new yard this year and has come up short; his sights are lowered here, however, and 6f on fast ground won't faze him; respected now down into a 0-90 with headgear dispensed with. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |
50/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Notched a third victory of the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best in a pair of handicaps at Goodwood (6f) and Thirsk (5f) since though; has a bit to prove returning from a break in refitted cheekpieces. |

Hamilton maiden winner over this distance in the summer; seemed to have her limitations exposed at Listed level on her next two starts; now needs to get back on track on AW debut after over three months off. |
