16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form in novice and maiden races at about 1m on turf and AW last year but she hasn't shone in handicaps of late, including returned to AW last twice; down to a mark in the 50s for the first time but need to see more. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in novice and maiden races at about 1m on turf and AW this time last year but she hasn't shone in handicaps of late, finding little when returned to 1m on Kempton AW in August; cheekpieces the next step. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-race maiden; failed to build upon satisfactory seasonal debut when well beaten on soft turf last month (1m2f) but today's test ought to be more suitable for her and she's on a good mark now. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; may have needed her reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but she had a patchy record last season and others are more convincing. |

No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; bogged down on heavy ground at Nottingham last October; it's difficult to know what to expect returned to AW (0-11) off a six-month absence. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland; modest effort last month on debut for new stable, having been a market drifter; best watched unless the betting signals go the other way. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins in Ireland, the first in a 1m claimer (soft) last spring and latest in a handicap hurdle (2m, yielding) this April; left Gavin Cromwell for 10,000euros in May after that last run and the market can guide. |

Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |
25/1 |
|
4 (3) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |
13/2 |
|
1 (2) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair 1m2f Flat scorer; progressing really well in this sphere and she cosily got off the mark over 2m2f here two weeks ago; up 3lb but this strong-travelling sort is capable of better still; leading claims. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; lightly raced hurdler who ran well for a long way on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and she'd approve should conditions be drier here. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won two handicaps in the second half of last year, including at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November; that was in a tight four-way finish but he's only 2lb higher on his return and still has scope for further progress; needs a close look. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at Bath (1m, firm) in August; reportedly made a respiratory noise when tailed off back there the following month but bounced back when second of eight at Leicester (1m, good) three weeks ago; first run on AW for this stable and there should be more to come provided all is well. |
13/2 |
|
8 (2) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has inconsistent form for new yard but there was an excuse (made a respiratory noise) last time; opened his account in Bath contest (1m, firm) on penultimate outing and may yet build on that win. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-time AW scorer but sole turf win was three years ago; some creditable efforts on Polytrack for new yard this year but he's been out of sorts at Wolverhampton in last two runs; has some questions to answer and he looks opposable back on turf. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-74; sits below last winning mark and filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield (1m2f) on penultimate start; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) over 8.5f here latest; trainer also saddles Three on Thursday. |

Loves it here and beat nine rivals with ease on her latest visit in September (1m, heavy); a 5lb rise could have been worse and she stays this far. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

In good form on soft turf during light campaign last year, most notably when winning over today's trip at Windsor; should be okay back on Polytrack but has fitness to prove after six-month break; market helpful. |

3rd 9 (12) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who showed career-best form in last two appearances, winning well at Windsor (1m2f) then solid second at Yarmouth (11.5f), both on soft ground; may be capable of further progress; respected. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in 1m2f handicaps on last three outings and came from off the pace to win by a nose at Yarmouth (good) on latest, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and has each-way chance. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; beaten around 5l by the same prolific winner in 1m2f amateur riders' races the last twice, latterly at Bath (firm) in early May; edging down the weights; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; beaten around 4l when fourth behind Beauld As Brass at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago but she ran well for a long way and has a big swing in the weights with her old rival here; could pose a serious threat if she backs up that last run. |
