9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not without his quirks but he has plenty of ability for one of his rating and everything clicked in a Class 6 handicap at Salisbury last June (6f, good to firm); three second placings followed and he should be sharper with last week's return to action under his belt; the start will remain a concern but he is not discounted back at 6f. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Not without his quirks but he has plenty of ability for one of his rating and everything clicked in a Class 6 handicap at Salisbury last June (6f, good to firm); three second placings followed and he should win more races this year; the drop back to 5f for this habitual slow-starter is a concern though. |

2nd 8 (4) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Quirky but has plenty of ability and he comes here on the up, following his Salisbury win (6f, good to firm) with good seconds at Newbury and C&D; mark still within range but he's missed a couple of intended runs on account of soft ground and even good to soft would be a query. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
7lb lower than when winning a Chelmsford nursery (6f, Polytrack) last November and 5lb lower than when second of 11 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in May, but she has disappointed since; others preferred. |
9/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three 6f wins as a 2yo but she's blown hot and cold this year and has finished down the field in last three starts; on dangerous mark but losing run is now up to ten and others are more convincing; new headgear. |

Came good for Sarah-Jayne Davies at third attempt, holding on well to make all over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher now but won't mind if there's rain about; respected in current form. |

1st 9 |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Wetherby juvenile winner for Sam England last October (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); some fair form since, and an interesting contender after his 2l-third to Spartan Times (who is now 4lb worse off) in a C&D handicap two weeks ago. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Landed a juvenile hurdle for Sam England last October; sold to join new yard for 1,400gns in February but finished last of ten to complete on stable debut at Stratford (2m, good) in March; hard to fancy. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW for this yard last year; yet to be placed from five runs on turf and runs off his highest mark; may be better for the run. |
5/1 |

5 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in July (7f); two solid efforts have followed and the return of cheekpieces could help squeeze out the requisite improvement. |
9/2 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Slightly disappointing when only fourth of five at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month but made winning stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f) two starts ago and could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 18 starts but that came off a 2lb higher mark last summer; raced freely on his return to action 16 days ago and dropped away in the straight; likely to last longer today. |
7/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

On a fair mark on last season's best, including a 5f win at Windsor in June; absent 172 days and he'll need to be cherry ripe to take this. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

0-11 and although fully effective on AW, he isn't progressing; blinkers now tried having run in cheekpieces over C&D last week; each-way shout. |
7/1 |

5th 3 (6) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10; placed here (6f) in April for Charles Hills; favourite here (6f) on debut for this trainer last month, weakening into fourth; drops 2lb and cheekpieces now tried as he goes back up in trip; enters calculations. |
5/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only 3l behind Time For Sandals over C&D last summer; had just one AW run since, when failing to reward strong market support over C&D in April (finished third off an 11lb higher mark); subsequent turf efforts easy enough to forgive and he makes his stable debut (same owners) off a tempting mark; could be an AW specialist and he's of some interest. |

19th May 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win (from 13 attempts) came off this mark at Chepstow (7f, soft) last September; however, unable to match that form on her next four starts last season and she returns from a break minus cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 7f handicap at Chepstow last month (soft ground; cheekpieces first time); fair sixth at Bath next time and latest heavy defeat at Ffos Las defeat excusable on account of the testing going; others are still more appealing. |
20/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Most races over shorter, off the mark over 7f at Chepstow (soft; first-time cheekpieces) this month but stamina didn't seem to be a problem back over 1m when a close sixth of 11 at Bath since; thereabouts. |

9st 0lb |
Won a 5.3f nursery at Brighton last August; not beaten far at Bath (1m, good to soft) last month but that effort a standout in 2025 and he's been well beaten twice since; hard to recommend. |
16/1 |

9 (14) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a nursery at Brighton (5f, good to firm) last August, but he's generally struggled since and was tailed off at Brighton (1m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday; now takes a big drop back in trip but he needs to bounce back near best. |
25/1 |

8th 9 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won a nursery here (5f, good to firm) in August last year, but out of the frame in six outings since; following wind surgery he wasn't beaten far into seventh of 11 at Bath (1m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, but nothing in his pedigree suggests he wants this sort of trip. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Latest run seemingly confirmed that soft ground isn't for her and had previously won over the extended 7f at Ffos Las on good when in first-time cheekpieces; only 2lb higher here. |
8/1 |
|
11th 11 (10) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when keeping on steadily to win a 7.4f handicap at Ffos Las ten days ago (cheekpieces first time); had run well over C&D previously and she's a key player up just 2lb. |
9/2 |
|
2 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden after eight runs but was placed off today's mark at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) and Windsor (1m, good) on her last two starts; this extended 7f could be ideal for her and she'll be a tough nut to crack if the first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

Off the mark at the 18th attempt with a last-gasp success in a 0-50 classified race over C&D last month; no impact back in a handicap here ten days later but he was hampered early on and still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; not ruled out. |
