18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |

Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

9st 8lb |
0-7 but went close in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft) in April; well beaten at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks later; worth a go at 1m but needs overall improvement. |

0-6 but should have races in him and his latest second of six at Leicester (7f, soft) represented further progress; drying ground shouldn't be an issue but he is creeping back up the weights. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his four wins have been at 6f on turf and last three were in 2024; well handicapped on old form but he was out of sorts in the autumn and has something to prove back up in trip for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns). |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 6f wins last autumn, two of them on heavy ground; lightly raced this year but unable to threaten on soft going on his two outings last month and he needs to raise his game. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Mudlark; won three times over 6f last year on going ranging from good to soft to heavy; not quite as his best in three runs this season (bled from the nose last time) but could bounce back with a hood tried (can race keenly). |

26th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Below-form fourth in first-time blinkers over C&D (good) on penultimate start; did better when the headgear was left off again at Newmarket on latest, while shaping as if 6f was shorter than ideal; needs a return to peak 2yo form. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't cope with soft ground on seasonal/handicap debut in April but his close third (just behind Taritino) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago was much better; 1lb lower here and the first-time blinkers might give him a boost. |

29th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Totally belied her 50-1 odds in claimer here (6f, heavy) two weeks ago, scoring by 17l and appearing to show dramatic improvement; that bare form may not be reliable but she has clear possibilities if backing it up; revised mark could have been harsher. |

Unexposed after only five outings but, although she's bred to stay 1m, she'll have to raise her game if she's to win on this first outing beyond 7f. |

Twice runner-up for Andrew Balding but left that yard as a nine-race maiden after disappointing in new blinkers at Sandown in July; 33-1 and only mid-division on stable debut in the Legends Race at Doncaster. |

Eight-race maiden; runner-up twice at Ffos Las (7.4f) last August; holds weak claims on 2023 form; chance depends on how well he responds to change of headgear (blinkers replace the visor worn last twice). |
