29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Overcame a slipping saddle to score on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 18-1, from 5lb lower) in May; kept busy on the Flat at Chester lately, producing creditable efforts (fourth and runner-up); still low mileage as a hurdler, with the potential to rate higher. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |
15/2 |

10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles in May; runner-up over C&D in June but only sixth behind Nibras Gold the following month; could still go well, having finished second in a division of this last year. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 48y |
12st 0lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April. in good form on the Flat during the spring/summer, winning over 1m5f at Navan in June and runner-up twice; only just denied when sent back over hurdles at Navan nine days ago; 14-1 then, entitled to be a leading fancy now. |

2nd 3 |
19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April and in good form on the Flat since, winning over 1m5f here in June and runner-up twice; may have gone as far as he can on the Flat and probably a good time to go back hurdling; worth a market check. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Course 1m5f winner in June; backed that up with a narrow defeat at Bellewstown; unplaced on last three starts; perhaps too high in the ratings now, though the booking of Jody Townend is a positive. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off her basement mark when dropped back to 1m at Chepstow (soft) in June but has not really built on that performance since and was just a respectable fifth behind James Park Woods over C&D last month. |

Opened account off basement mark at Chepstow (1m, soft) in June, her 13th start; below that form lately but now back down to her winning mark, and will be suited by today's conditions. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D last summer but that remains his only success from 38 starts, and he was well beaten over 1m2f on latest outing two months ago; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

9th 8 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Hold-up performer who has plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win; been running no more than fairly well in 0-50 company this year, including back on turf last time. |

3rd 4 (2) |

Strike-rate of 1-36 but not had many chances at 1m4f over which he was beaten 3l in a classified race on the AW last time; possible. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Beat a Catterick specialist by a neck (1m6f, good) in September before ending last season with solid efforts in his final two runs for John Berry; has claims if he can pick where he left off but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and still has something to prove on AW. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |

Off the mark at 14th attempt when beating the in-form course specialist Bollin Neil by a neck at Catterick last week (1m6f, good; pound out of the handicap, tongue-tie on for first time); could go well again. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Two of his four wins have been here but he's 4-61 overall and has offered little this year. |

6th 8 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

8st 11lb |
Safely held when 100-1 in this grade at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs first-time hood to make a big difference here. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Failed to get competitive in four starts for Karen Jewell and it's been the same scenario in two starts for Tony Carroll; steps up in trip and needs to show improvement. |
40/1 |

7th 10 (3) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to get competitive in four starts for Karen Jewell and it was a similar story when returning from a 260-day break at Brighton (1m2f; ran freely on stable debut) just over three weeks ago; only signs of market support would offer encouragement. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still unexposed after only five runs and began this season with two fairly respectable handicap runs this spring (8.6f/1m) but her tendency to race too freely remains a worry (particularly over this new trip). |
8/1 |
|
12 (4) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran in a hood all three starts last autumn and was inclined to pull hard without it on her comeback; that was a better effort and it gave something to build on, dropped 2lb, on her turf debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scarcely managed to beat a rival in three attempts in AW novice/maidens last autumn (all 7f at triple-figure odds); pedigree suggests that this extra yardage could suit and she makes her handicap debut at the lowest level; still unlikely. |
