16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |
5/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort for current stable when close second at Thirsk (7f) in most recent turf attempt; still nicely handicapped, having recorded both wins (6f) off higher marks; commands respect back down in distance. |
100/30 |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner over 6f in November when trained by Katie Scott; didn't quite get home when third at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) earlier in the month, and ran well when second of 14 at Thirsk (7f, good) five days ago; may be able to go one better. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins have come over 5f including here (good) in August; stays this far and handles soft ground but remains 4lb higher than for that latest success so a bit more is needed; stable also runs Canaria Queen. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent this year (form figures 22731); picked off the weakening pacesetter to score at Catterick (5f, good; 2-1 favourite) latest; slightly more required from this 3lb higher mark but does have a C&D win to his name; shortlisted. |

Four wins last year, starting with this race (good to firm), and he's been running well in the main on Southwell AW this spring; solid claims. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won off this mark at Newcastle (5f; 7-1; first-time visor) last September but mostly disappointing since until chasing home Beerwah at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 16-1) five weeks ago; is 5lb better off with that rival here; one of two for trainer Michael Dods. |

2nd 3 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

8th 9 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |
12/1 |

C&D winner last July (good) and also won at Musselburgh last August; form tailed off towards the end of the season and now back on his last winning mark; lacks a recent run. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual course winner (6f) who also notched back-to-back victories at Musselburgh and Newcastle (both 5f) last October; ran her best race since - flashed home after fluffing the start - at Hamilton on Friday evening; sits 1lb lower, and also has the excellent Lauren Young claiming 5lb. |

2nd 4 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Scored five times, including over C&D, last year; made some late headway back here last time on return from break and may be back in top form with that outing under her belt. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner here (6f/7f) in 2020; has gone close a couple of times lately, as when beaten a short head at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in July, but losing run up to 24; others look more solid. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp. |
7/1 |

3 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Veteran who ended a long losing run when making all at Beverley (5f, good) in May; did not repeat the form in his two subsequent outings, also under Shay Farmer, and does not seem the percentage call. |
16/1 |

9 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when making all on a rare turf outing at Beverley (5f, good) in May but he dropped out on his return visit on Monday; the soft ground may have dulled his powers but he's not easy to predict and others are more solid; change of headgear. |
