16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner but 0-6 on AW; never threatened when fifth at Kempton on Monday (1m) and has to prove this trip is in range. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four turf wins to her name, the latest at Brighton in April (1m, good to firm) when rated 2lb higher; needs to bounce back from a lacklustre run at Epsom last month. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Can be in and out but fairly solid in cheekpieces when third at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts and it was a creditable second on her only start here (C&D, good) last July; has dropped below her last winning mark. |

9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 1-14 but she nearly added to her tally when going close off this mark over C&D (good to firm) last Monday; that was much more like it on her drop back to 1m and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |
4/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Gets away with 1m2f but she's pulled hard all four times she's tackled it and today's drop to 1m should suit; finished last in both runs this spring but ought to do much better. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb. |
5/1 |
|
6th 10 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
2-3 over C&D including when making a successful return from 196 days off 12 days ago; up 7lb in a better race so he will need to find a bit more. |
6/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 1lb higher on turf here (7f) last summer and ended last season with respectable fourth at Brighton (1m) but this reappearance run is his first AW start since 2024 and his record when fresh is not compelling. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started 2025 with a four-timer, the last leg coming here; not at the same level of late but well treated if staging a revival. |
11/1 |
|
9th 1 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Rattled off a four-timer on the AW at the start of the year including two wins over C&D; won over hurdles in June and capable of playing a part off this mark if producing his best. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Andrew Balding but she's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; switches back to turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
40/1 |
|
10th 3 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Brighton winner for Andrew Balding (1m, good to firm) last summer, but well beaten in both starts for this yard and has shown little in three goes on the AW; plenty to prove after six months off. |
25/1 |
|
9 (6) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive for Andrew Balding this summer, getting off the mark in a 1m handicap at Brighton in June; dropped away on stable debut at Sandown six weeks ago (1m, soft) and she will need to leave that effort well behind. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 15 races; second career win when prevailing narrowly over C&D in September and following efforts weren't too shoddy; still on a competitive mark but he does lack a recent run. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
4 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard. |
16/1 |
