29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had a consistent year and has won twice over 1m4f; slowly away when beaten 4l at Lingfield (AW) two runs back and soft ground was a first when running no race last time; could go well. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Opened her account when scoring over C&D (good) from 10lb lower in July; followed up off 6lb higher at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; fairly consistent since and not ruled out back here. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Epsom (1m4f, good) and Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; creditable second in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but she was a well-held third at Ffos Las last time; still unexposed at this trip but this is competitive back on AW and she needs to find more to defy this mark. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Progressive sort who's scored twice this term and ran well again at Windsor (11.5f, good) 18 days ago; steps out of his grade but this trip might unlock more and he's a likeable sort who threatens to give the classier types a proper workout. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on softer than good; ran well at Newbury (1m4f) most recently, taking record this season to 3431132; that consistency makes him one to consider. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Progressing and going up in trip has helped; front-running win when 4-6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in June and he saw off a Prescott-trained hotpot to follow up at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July; close third at Chester on latest outing and may still have more to give. |

Finished about 10l behind Shabu Shabu at Leicester when both were making turf/handicap debut; however, has raced only four times and is in good hands, so may do better still. |

No solid form in her three qualifying races over 1m on AW but it's easy to think that 1m2f+ will suit now that she goes handicapping. |

25th Jun 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Bit of promise on her last start at two but it's not been happening in handicaps this year, latterly beaten nearly 20l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; blinkers given a whirl. |

Didn't progress for previous yard and was beaten 26l on her last start (1m2f, good to firm) 225 days ago; up in trip and needs a revival on this stable debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He's on a handy mark on his form last June/July, when winning over C&D, and a market check is advised on his reappearance; however, he went off the boil last autumn and returns minus cheekpieces (worn when winning). |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
C&D win in first-time cheekpieces off 5lb lower in June has been boosted by those behind since; latest effort, over further on heavy ground, is probably best ignored and he's one to consider for a yard among the winners over jumps of late. |
6/1 |
|
9 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Record since wearing cheekpieces comprises an account-opening win at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) and two placed efforts, close third at Nottingham latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a small-field handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f) last August but has mixed record since and was tailed off at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 19 days ago; may have had stamina issues last time but he's now 1-13 and others are more convincing. |
18/1 |
|
10th 6 (8) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won a small-field contest at Yarmouth (11.5f) last August; run down late in added blinkers at Pontefract (1m2f) the following month; perfectly entitled to draw benefit from last week's comeback run at Southwell but stamina questionable. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf form last year featured an 11.5f success and some good efforts; likely player at this level provided he's as effective back on AW and manages to settle (pulled too hard when last seen). |

11st 0lb |
0-11 on the Flat but some ability shown on turf, if not so much at Leicester latest (1m2f, good to firm); minor jumps-winning prowess among the great granddam's family, but little to none since. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden; all seven of his handicaps were on AW, in the shake-up in three (Wolverhampton 8.6f/9.4f); below form on sole attempt at 1m4f but worth a go at 1m2f and latest start was his first in 127 days; could build on that on today's return to turf. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest ten-race maiden who has been struggling (1m-1m2f) since coming back from a gelding operation and wind surgery in the spring; probably worth a go at this trip but still has a bit to prove on classified debut. |
33/1 |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

It was his second handicap when beaten about 5l in first-time blinkers at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) latest, easily his closest finish but fading into fifth of nine and he needs a good deal better; 5lb claimer now. |

20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

Mixed in handicaps, winning one off this mark here (1m2f, good) in March; back in some better form on his first two starts in cheekpieces but not on latest, albeit trying 1m4f; unraced on softer than good; not dismissed totally back down in trip. |

Well beaten in his first four starts but he returned from a four-month break to finish a good second at Kempton 17 days ago; sent off at single-figure odds on that occasion so the improvement wasn't a bolt from the blue; this is a stronger race but he remains capable of better. |
