1st 10 (13) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Exposed mare whose last win came in Wolverhampton classified (6f, AW) in January 2025; having first start on turf since September 2024 and others are more persuasive. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Without a win since last January but her last two efforts have been solid, including when third over C&D 26 days ago; visor (worn once before) replaces blinkers and she has place claims. |

2nd 8 (9) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Not fully exposed after eight starts and it was a good start handicapping when third at Bath (good to firm) and Nottingham (also about 1m, good) in April and June last year; went backwards after that (soft and AW) and now returns having his first start at 6f since 2yo days; still worth a market check. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Soft ground feasibly excuses his last two runs and he was beaten under a length in his two previous handicaps (at about 1m on good to firm and good ground); unraced on the AW and drawn wide, but not ruled out. |

12th 10 (4) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Soft ground may have contributed to a lesser run last time and his two earlier handicap runs saw him beaten under one length; not straightforward but each-way claims if back to his best. |

9st 8lb |
3-7 on AW, his latest win coming at Kempton (6f) a fortnight ago on third start for Adam Kirby; up 3lb on just this second go on turf and he can probably do better again. |

1st 10 (4) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 in handicaps for Martin Dunne, winning at Southwell and at Lingfield (both over 6f) towards the end of last summer; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't threatened in two runs for current yard and needs to rediscover his spark. |

7th 10 (6) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

2-2 in handicaps for Martin Dunne, winning here and at Lingfield (both over 6f); didn't get the best of passages at Wolverhampton (6f) on his first start for this yard and looks worth a try over this extra furlong. |

9st 9lb |
Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months. |

Some encouragement when third of five in C&D maiden (soft) in September but beaten 10l in two subsequent handicaps; reappears as one of two for Grace Harris and it's still early days. |

2 (8) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed 3yo who showed signs of ability in a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) last month, but she was always in rear at another big price on handicap debut at Leicester last time; looks interesting on that penultimate effort but she needs to leave her latest form well behind. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden after ten runs but has been placed twice on good to firm ground this spring (6f/5f) and may not have been suited by good to soft when slightly disappointing last time; this trip could be ideal; no surprise if he features. |
7/2 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to score but he ran respectably on his last two starts, finishing third at Leicester (6f) last month and again at Windsor (5f, also good to firm; yet to race on slower than good) a fortnight ago; return to this trip can aid his cause and he looks the best of three chances for Tony Carroll. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Hasn't been with Tony Carroll for long and there has been clear promise in two runs since returning to turf, latterly when a close third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; runs off the same mark and has the assistance of Rossa Ryan for the first time; high on the list. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently. |

7th 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |

Regressive and inconsistent for this yard, and is tried in a first-time visor instead of cheekpieces tonight; needs to bounce back from a couple of ordinary efforts on turf. |

8th 12 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

0-10 for this yard but she went close at Southwell (6f, AW) on her penultimate start; 14l defeat at Yarmouth last time tempers confidence, however. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Two of her three wins have come on turf, but seen much more often on the AW these days; latest efforts have been respectable, but a losing run of 26 sounds a note of caution. |

Four wins (one on turf) include two at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) for Ivan Furtado; tried this headgear combination for the first time when fourth back there (5f) last month and subsequently joined this yard for 2,000gns; acts with ease in the ground and nothing wrong with this mark. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Won two 6f handicaps here last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the latter win; more recent efforts leave him with a point to prove but the fitting of a tongue-tie could give him a lift and Silvestre De Sousa is a positive booking. |

Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference. |
