7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has three wins over C&D but last two starts suggest she needs to come down the weights before she is ready to win again; first-time cheekpieces. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins and a second from four previous visits here; has been holding her form well elsewhere and soft ground was perhaps a factor in finishing no better than fifth at Sandown last time; that was off this career-high figure but every chance of being involved back here. |

Productive and consistent filly who ran respectably at Chester most recently, taking record in handicaps (AW/turf) to 111223212; new mark is 5lb higher but she look solid. |

9st 10lb |
Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |

A three-time 1m winner in 2025 who posted another good effort when runner-up in 1m Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |

2nd 7 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

3-18; second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month before winning by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 17 days ago; looks a likely player returned to AW following a 1lb rise. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily progressive Dark Angel filly who bagged a pair of 7f/1m handicaps at Kempton and York in the summer and wasn't seen to ideal effect when a good sixth of 12 in 1m Goodwood handicap last time; merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark on her Tapeta debut. |
6/4 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Kept on for third on handicap debut here (7f, good to soft) last month then won at Kempton (7f, AW); followed up when making all at York (1m, good to firm) for which she's gone up 6lb; this progressive 3yo holds likeable claims for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2020. |
5/1 |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Fair efforts on all five starts, last time getting off the mark on second handicap start when winning fillies' event at Kempton (7f; AW debut); further progress likely now up to 1m. |

0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Two 1m wins on good ground last summer, including at this track; well short of that level in two runs this year and stepping up in trip with cheekpieces added isn't enough to tempt. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Wide-margin classified win at Chepstow last July and she followed up in a Class 5 handicap at Haydock two weeks later (both 1m on good ground); well beaten in two runs since, including last month's return from 259 days on the sidelines; drops in class and could resume her progress. |
8/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Rather disappointing in hat-trick attempt when last seen, but this low-mileage 4yo may still have more to offer and can't be written off; gained her two wins over 1m on good ground. |

Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |
11/4 |

3rd 11 (8) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

9st 8lb |
Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |

8st 11lb |
15-race maiden who's in his third season; runner-up over 1m2f in one of his two visits here last summer and two minor honours (7.6f/1m) from three starts this term; cheekpieces (tried once as 3yo, well held) return but he does not look the percentage call for win purposes. |

4th 7 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Bitterly disappointing given the promise he showed on debut at two but could pick up a small race; pulled his chance away latest and dropping back in trip looks a wise move. |

12th 8 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-13 but he ran well to finish third of 11 on his Lingfield reappearance (7.6f, good) last month and the return to this trip can only be a positive on the pick of last year's form; high on list. |

Scored over C&D on heavy in October 2024 and recorded her second win, at Windsor (6f, soft), last September; below that form on her two subsequent starts last year and watching brief advised on this reappearance unless the ground turns in her favour. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Has shaped with some promise, without making a major impact, in juvenile hurdles at Doncaster and Chepstow; may show improvement returned to Ffos Las, having gained sole Flat win here (soft); interesting. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |

Class 6 Flat handicap winner (1m2f, soft) whose hurdle debut fourth at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month gives him something to build on; however, others in this line-up have achieved considerably more. |
