24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-11, including four defeats for this yard; late interference didn't cost her the race at Windsor (1m, good to firm) but it was a respectable effort in a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now added; likely to race prominently. |
4/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 for Peter Chapple-Hyam and 0-3 this year for current yard; on dangerous mark and was runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March but she didn't match that back on turf at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she needs to find more back at this trip. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
3-29, the latest win coming at Lingfield (1m1f, good) a year ago; still 3lb higher and although she may appreciate the return to turf, she looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals; stable also runs Perdy In Paris. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Triple turf winner who is 0-10 on AW but she returned after 202 days off with a respectable fourth over C&D in May; didn't get the best of runs in that race and has possibilities if she can build on that; regular hood is removed. |
16/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Absent since an autumn C&D effort that was respectable but took her AW record to 0-9; has gained none of her turf wins when fresh; doesn't look the percentage call. |

Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |
9/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Scored over C&D (good to firm) in September and was also on target at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April; recent efforts have been respectable and he holds each-way claims at least. |
13/2 |

4th 4 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last summer he won handicaps at Windsor (1m) and here (7f; both on good to firm); remains on a realistic mark and last two runs weren't at all shoddy; should feature. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

His cosy C&D win last summer came off 2lb lower; two good runs and two lesser efforts this season; should give it a good go. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won twice last summer (1m/7f, good to firm) and it was an encouraging reappearance when third here (6f) in May; saw little daylight at Goodwood a fortnight later but he weakened when last of 11 at Doncaster (again 7f) seven weeks ago; hard to predict what he'll come up with this time. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close in Chepstow handicap (1m, good; fine over 1m2f) in June and has strong form claims here if judged on that performance but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry; sports first-time cheekpieces; risky. |
7/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Now 2lb lower than when going close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and will also be suited by today's longer trip but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry. |
6/1 |

7th 2 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move. |
11/2 |
