7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile tactically; took her form to a new level in 2024, which included a Listed win at Newmarket (1m, heavy) in September and some solid runs in Group races to start the season; close fourth from the front at Goodwood on reappearance five weeks ago and has each-way claims. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Took her form to a new level last season, which included a Listed win at Newmarket in September and a second in a Group 3 in France the following month (both at 1m on heavy); has to concede weight all round on her return but she has the best form in this line-up and is fairly versatile ground-wise; big player. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal. |
6/1 |
|

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Three C&D wins this year, the latest from off the pace in amateur riders' race three weeks ago; 4b higher tonight, though, and this contest may not pan as favourably for him. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some. |

3rd Apr 2024 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Much better for tackling this sort of ground for the first time when springing a surprise at Yarmouth last Monday; experienced Alex Jary's 5lb claim goes some way towards clawing back the penalty. |

1st 7 (1) |
16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m4f maiden for Roger Varian but she's yet to show that form for her current yard, coming in last of 11 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 23 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

3rd 8 (3) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unplaced in all nine starts; blinkered on last three, with best effort this term on first occasion (fourth over 1m6f on good to firm) but beaten out of sight in the mud next time and soundly beaten on latest; risky. |
20/1 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Unplaced in all eight starts; shaped with some promise at Thirsk (1m6f, good to firm) last month and he had an excuse in the mud at Nottingham last week but he was beaten out of sight in that race and others are more convincing; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 18 and has to put a poor recent effort at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) behind him, but he often makes the running and could enjoy the run of the race if again ridden positively; visor removed after one use. |
9/2 |
|
14th 3 (15) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Often a front-runner; record over C&D reads 1313, but this his first visit here since June 2024; losing run is up to 17 and he is drawn wide; visor the headgear of choice this time. |

29th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Weak 5-1 shot at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but ran well for a long way before finishing a 2l fourth of 11; that was promising and he looks interesting upped in trip on his return; has been gelded; blinkers on. |
5/2 |

13th Oct 2022 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

took keen hold, prominent, pressed leader from over 3f out, slightly hampered when every chance under 2f out, ridden and no extra inside final furlong |

29th Sep 2022 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Bought for 48,000gns in April; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Danehill Kodiac; stable has excellent 2yo strike-rate this season, so this newcomer is worth keeping an eye on. |

28th Aug 2022 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Almost made the perfect start when beaten a neck in 11-runner Kempton novice (1m, AW; 17-2) 12 days ago, leading briefly over 1f out and rallying; that sets the standard on form and she looks sure to go well. |
