31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when justifying 13-8 favouritism with a comfortable win at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb but that was a personal best last time and he's still unexposed at this trip; key player. |

1st 5 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Stayed on as strongly as any at Windsor latest (6f, good to firm) after a slow start; more galloping test at the trip is a likely plus, and just a case of whether he helps himself sufficiently; eased 1lb. |
5/1 |

3rd 11 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Reappeared with a promising fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April but he's taken two backward steps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation on this return to sprinting. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-7 but she arrives having finished second in handicaps at Newcastle (5f, AW) and Nottingham (6f, good to firm) on her last two starts; up in class today and could prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Neck second at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time rates a clear career best, and a 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive; yet to see out a galloping 6f completely convincingly, albeit not having yet tried to on going as quick as today's. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (13) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise on several occasions, including over 6f here; matched her best form on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and creditable fourth in a novice at Wetherby (5.5f, good) since; enters calculations. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Six-race maiden; no improvement for wind surgery when third of seven at Nottingham last month; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unimproved for the addition of cheekpieces (retained here nonetheless) at Ripon in May, and wind surgery resorted to since; effectiveness over a galloping 6f yet to be tested, but 2lb lower mark looks competitive judged against the RPR of last autumn's Leicester debut (5f). |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame on all three 2yo starts (5f-6f) and again showed clear promise when fifth of 14 on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft), despite racing too freely in the early stages and hanging left at the business end; back up in trip and 2lb lower here; a possible. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise as a 2yo and again on his seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton in April; no progress since, including on his first run for Mick Appleby at Nottingham last month; has the raw ability to win a race of this nature but he is in danger of becoming disappointing. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Podium finishes on all three 2yo novice starts for Mark Rimell, almost holding on at Redcar (6f, good; bumped late); yet to scale those heights in handicaps this term despite starting off on a tolerable mark, traffic not costing him a win latest; hopes rest with change of scenery since. |
7/2 |
|
7th 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came closest to a first win when reeled in late after setting the pace over C&D last October; involved in another tight finish at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but not as good since, markedly so on turf in July; might yet come good with cheekpieces fitted and back at her best trip. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A failure under patient tactics aside, she proved consistent last autumn and winter; timely return to 6f judged on recent keeping-on Tapeta runs, but she's still possibly high in the weights despite 1lb more off. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent rather than progressive; not beaten far into fourth behind Love Alive over C&D last month; her apprentice rider takes off a useful 7lb; each-way shout. |
