8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two good 6f runs in May, winning at Pontefract before chasing home a rapid improver at Newmarket; not so good over 7f twice since; returns to this trip with new headgear tried. |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made good progress since handicapping, winning at Pontefract last month (6f, good; these accessories for the first time) and then chasing home Quinault (won twice since) at Newmarket a fortnight later; reportedly didn't face the kickback when disappointing at Kempton 13 days ago; still has more to come back on turf. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |

Both wins for Kevin Ryan as a 3yo came over 6f including one here; losing run up to 16, though, and plenty to prove on this first go beyond 1m. |

Won two 5f handicaps (good to firm and soft) in the second half of 2023; modest effort on his seasonal return last month though and needs to take a good step forward. |

She should be making an impact off this lowly mark and didn't enjoy a smooth run at Brighton 16 days ago; there are still risks attached back in a higher grade, though. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in good form on AW; some solid efforts back on turf this year without suggesting he had much in hand of his mark; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
His year started well when bustling up Saturday's Epsom "Dash" winner at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in April but his two runs last month didn't come close and he has the widest stall. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got back near her best when scoring over C&D last month but a 6lb rise found her out at Wolverhampton since; might be vulnerable again. |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Got back near her best when scoring at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) two weeks ago but she's gone back up 6lb in the weights and this looks highly competitive on this step back up in grade; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 |
7th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has developed a habit of starting slowly, which is a concern, but her C&D defeat two weeks ago can be overlooked (repeatedly denied aclear run) and she's now 1lb lower than when second at Lingfield (7f) in October. |

She didn't run badly in a 7f 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton last week and the return to 6f shouldn't inconvenience her; rider good value for his 7lb claim; cheekpieces the headgear of choice this afternoon. |

Runner-up over 7f here in January; below par in three runs since and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust; experiment with blinkers quickly aborted. |

15th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three 5f nursery wins for George Boughey last season (Class 6); ran well on her final start for that yard in July (6f, AW) but her stable debut at Epsom four weeks ago was disappointing; dropped 4lb but others look safer. |
16/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won three 5f nurseries for George Boughey last season; ran as well as she ever has when a short-head second at Kempton six weeks ago (6f, AW), after which she was sold for 17,000gns; back up 4lb for her stable debut. |
