15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a C&D novice handicap in May (good) and creditable second, also over C&D, next time; could go well but was a long way behind Betty's Tiara when back after a short break at Worcester last time; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in May, after a break, and ran at least as well there three weeks later; pulled up at Newton Abbot in June but spreading a plate during the race might excuse that; considered. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Confirmed earlier promise here when getting off the mark in handicap over C&D ten days ago; up 6lb but had something to spare there so merits serious consideration. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Largely disappointing since winning at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October and found no immediate benefit from wind surgery when a 27l fourth of six at Fontwell (3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; entitled to improve for that but has something to prove at present. |
14/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than for narrow win at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October but largely disappointing since; reportedly made respiratory noise when well beaten at Newton Abbot in June and was given wind op during subsequent 75-day break; sometimes wears cheekpieces but doesn't today. |
9/2 |

6th 7 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Has won good-ground handicaps at 3m and 3m2f; hard to dismiss off this mark despite being below par the last twice. |

7th 9 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Safely held over C&D in June but that was her first start for seven months and she's now back on the same mark as when winning at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last spring; contender if she comes on from that reappearance run. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Modest form in two minor handicap hurdles this year; not easily recommended back on the Flat. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't won for ages but latest 9l defeat over C&D was after a lengthy break; each-way claims. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last success (2022) and he came in a below-par fifth of seven in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in November; others are preferred. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1-19 over hurdles and 1-18 on Flat; the Flat win was at Salisbury (1m4f, good; made most) this May, a 66-1 shock by a short head, but he's been out of form since; first-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

20th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-18 over hurdles, the win gained off 1lb lower at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) last October, and never one to rely upon heavily but caused 66-1 shock on the Flat in spring and can't be ruled out; tongue-tie refitted. |

5th 4 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock on Flat return at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May but was safely held on both subsequent outings and is far too inconsistent to support with confidence; had recent wind op. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-32 under rules but both wins were gained over C&D on good ground, the latter when keeping on just too strongly for subsequent winner Flashy Boy last month; 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |
4/1 |
