13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Gained a first win over C&D in October but she was well below that form on both her subsequent runs, beating one in 1m Newcastle nursery in December; needs to hit the ground running after a six-month absence. |

Runner-up on nursery debut here (1m, soft) but was hammered about 8l by the winner and she's off the same mark. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his return from six-month layoff at Kempton (1m, AW) in May off 4lb lower; below that form back on turf at Newbury since but may be worth another chance back on AW. |
7/2 |
|
8th 11 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has found his feet in Kempton AW handicaps at 1m on last two starts, just worn down (by one who would have been an unlucky loser) last November, then found a bright turn of foot to win on comeback; up just 4lb but he has a different question to answer this time, returned to turf with rain about. |
9/2 |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Showed improvement when switched to handicaps in the autumn, finishing runner up at Bath (1m, soft) before going down by a head over this C&D; up 4lb on this return from six months off, but a few winners have come out of that race; respected. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; has failed to transfer that form back to turf in last two starts, taking record in this sphere to 0-7; something to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Broadly consistent in handicaps, mostly on AW, until below par returned to turf last time when too free over 1m2f; return to 1m looks a good move but he's still seeking first turf win. |
20/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Bath (1m, firm) on seasonal debut in April and comes here after chasing home next-time-out winners on consecutive outings last month (1m1f/1m); major player if suited by this new trip. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won on nursery debut at Bath (1m, soft) last September and on reappearance there (1m, firm) in April; merely mid-division over this C&D (good to firm) last month but back on song when runner-up at Lingfield (1m1f, soft) last time; in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Scored on his nursery debut at Leicester (1m, good) last October; gelded subsequently and pulled too hard on his resumption when ninth of 14 at Bath (1m, good) last month; may do better if he settles. |
10/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning start to life in handicaps at Leicester (1m) but he went keenly and failed to build on it with fifth of nine over C&D later in October; has since been gelded and could still do better on his seasonal return. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Stepped up from 6f when making a winning nursery debut over this far at Leicester (good) and had a bit up his sleeve despite the narrow margin of victory; the handicapper didn't hold back with 6lb but the front two were clear; will have to handle this softer surface. |

Won a 1m Salisbury nursery in first-time blinkers in August but has been tailed off in her last two races; always a chance that another change of headgear could trigger something. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Opened her account at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month when making all; up 4lb and she needs to show she is as effective on AW. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Debut was apparently much her best form in five-race 2yo career; needs to turn things around dramatically on this seasonal debut with first-time headgear and new trip, and some stamina can be found in her pedigree. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easily her best run was the first when close up on fast ground at Chester (extended 7f); first run on ground softer than good when tailed off there last month; bit to prove on a few counts on this nursery debut. |

Up and down in his short career to date, running badly on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month; others appeal more. |
40/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but showed there was a race in him when third in a similar contest over C&D last month; sold for 16,500gns to join new yard subsequently and should be thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He fared no better for the step up to 1m4f when fourth of five at Southwell two weeks ago, finishing 16l behind Crown Inn To Win; bred to be useful but he arrives with a point to prove. |
