16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D (good) in August; that was a narrow success but he's run two solid races since, including a close call at Leicester last week; looks interesting off same mark here and he's a key player. |
5/1 |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Found the drop to 5.3f against him last time and that was another in-form effort; high in the weights again, following two turf wins this summer, but fine on the AW and looks set to go well once more. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in 6f handicaps (including over C&D), given she blew the start each time, before not looking to see out 7f last time; can't be left out of calculations. |
10/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in both 6f handicaps (turf/AW) since winning AW novice over that trip in February; sometimes loses ground at the start and/or races too freely but is open to improvement over this new trip if all goes to plan. |
13/2 |

5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Serial hard-puller who made a pleasing turf/handicap debut last time despite another untidy start; should have more to offer when tightening things up and a 2lb rise looks fair, so she's one to consider. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His 2025 campaign, where he won six times in the first half of the year, was always going to be a tough act to follow; 0-9 this time round but there have been some fine runs along the way; drops back into Class 5 company this time and a big run looks likely. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won six times in the first half of 2025; 0-8 this year but there have been some good runs along the way; last time wasn't one of them though and he is opposable despite a drop in the weights. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his first handicap win when too strong for nine rivals in a 0-55 over C&D in April; chance if back to that level but well beaten on his last two starts; risky but capable. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his winning tally when successful over C&D in April; twice unplaced on turf since and still 5lb higher than for that latest win, but still one for the shortlist returned here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard). |
7/1 |
|

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed filly who was found a weak, small-field Wolverhampton handicap in April and has otherwise looked to have little in hand this season; vulnerable to improvers once more. |
10/1 |

4th 4 (7) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won narrowly from three rivals at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in April and only just beaten in one go over C&D, but needs to bounce back from a modest effort at Nottingham (5f, good) this month (behind Galaxy Zoo). |
9/2 |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not an instant success in handicaps but the return to 5f helped when putting up a game show to win with nothing to spare on AW in April; a subsequent Yarmouth third suggests more will be needed in this higher grade. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back to the same career-low mark she cashed in on in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June (6f, good), progress having stalled again since; holds Connie's Rose and Papabella on last month's Leicester clash, albeit she was fairly well held herself; place rather than win claims. |
11/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below her best in one run on good to soft and was taken out on account of soft ground early in the month, so could do with some drying weather; proved consistent since blinkers went on but needs to find a bit more from somewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1235 since wearing blinkers, the win at Goodwood (6f, good); ran respectably at Windsor (6f, good to firm) most recently and holds claims. |
9/2 |
