8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (15) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 6f on the AW but he confirmed he stays this far at Doncaster (good) in June, when chasing home one who is going the right way; looks likely to have more to offer. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f AW winner this year, latterly in valuable Lingfield handicap in April; didn't run badly when back on turf at Ascot last month (race won by Up The Pace) but needs to find something extra on this return to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 (2) |
9th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 since dropped to 6f, notably when pouncing late in a Lingfield handicap on Good Friday (Kiniro third); 3lb rise not excessive and his stable have some useful 3yo sprinters this year; high on the list. |

9st 7lb |
Hasn't looked straightforward in his four starts, hanging left when winning a Chelmsford maiden and again when sixth on handicap debut in February; no better for cheekpieces at Kempton last month and now tried in blinkers. |

Son of Kodi Bear who opened his account in 7f Chelmsford maiden in January but came in only sixth of eight in 7f Southwell handicap three weeks ago; he needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won over 1m at Windsor in July and stepped up again returned to AW at Southwell last time; drops in trip but should give another good account. |
4/1 |

2nd 11 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Beat a subsequent maiden winner when off the mark at Windsor (1m; first-time blinkers) in July but her profile isn't particularly progressive and she has more to do in this company off a 4lb higher mark. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Related to two winners for his connections; duly showed promise in 7f contest at Kempton and that form has substance (first three have won since); interesting with improvement on the cards. |

Well-bred filly who led close home to win by a nose on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) eight days ago; could easily have a lot more to offer over today's longer trip and needs to be taken very seriously. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in January but he's struggled over hurdles and on the Flat subsequently and is now 0-17; hopes are pinned on wind surgery prompting a major turnaround. |
25/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-16 under all codes; didn't run badly when fifth over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February but suffered a heavy defeat on AW last month and makes only limited appeal. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Inconsistent maiden for three yards who was always well positioned when second in an ordinary 0-60 handicap over C&D in January; since well beaten over hurdles and others hold stronger claims. |

0-7 and his second in a Leicester handicap in June (1m, good to firm; no headgear) is a standout; offered little in cheekpieces but now tackling his first classified race. |
5/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-6 but he was beaten only a length when second of five here over 1m last month; wasn't in the same form at Windsor (1m, again good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 23 days ago; steps up in trip and needs to bounce back for his in-form stable. |

9st 1lb |
Shown little in handful of starts at 7f and 1m on AW; now has his first run in a classified but still has much to prove on turf debut back from a break; cheekpieces on (has worn blinkers). |

9th 8 (6) |
26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't shown much and most recently he took a keen hold when well beaten over 1m here on handicap debut; the blinkers worn for the first time then are now removed. |

12th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Poor chance on 7f efforts but this new trip, fitting of headgear and switch to handicap level are possible sources of improvement. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

First piece of worthwhile form was her recent decisive win over C&D and can only presume the heavy ground made all the difference; penalised accordingly but unexposed under these conditions. |

Poor form in her four starts, including when switched to a 0-50 classified here (7f; 125-1) 18 days ago; early days but the extra furlong needs to prove transformative. |

Appeared to improve on handicap debut when third at Lingfield (1m2f) but the race was slowly run; no joy over 1m4f since and others higher up the list; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Seemed to respond quite well to first-time cheekpieces when 50-1 third of five on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) but that race was slowly run and the form may not be reliable. |
