27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well when beaten just over a length into third of nine behind a couple of these over C&D in January; given a short break since and can go well fresh, but he is now 0-24 and others look a bit more solid. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
23-race maiden; wasn't beaten far (1.75l) when fourth to today's rival Spirit Of Ash over C&D in November, and meets that mare on improved terms if factoring in the 7lb claim of Tom Kiely-Marshall; latest effort excusable (1m6f), so isn't a forlorn hope from a career-low mark. |

8lb higher than for his 7f win here in February when in this new headgear combination; current mark is looking an issue but it was a good run over 6f here two weeks ago. |

29th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run with his emphatic win over 7f here (3-1) in February and he gave it a decent shot when a 2l fourth over C&D last time; still unexposed as a sprinter and he shouldn't be far away. |

8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at Kempton (7f/1m) for Tom Clover and placed a couple of times on turf for this yard during the autumn; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when ninth of 12 here (7f) five weeks ago, but wouldn't have won anyway and still to prove he can act on Tapeta. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
3rd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time Kempton winner for Tom Clover and has tumbled down the handicap on turf this year; a bit higher in the weights back on AW but has been showing enough on soft/heavy turf to suggest he's worth considering. |
9/1 |

24th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Not fully compelling on the balance of this season's form elsewhere; however, looks interesting back at Ayr having gained last two wins over C&D (including off 2lb higher). |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Flat winner is 0-13 over hurdles; didn't run terribly at Down Royal in December off this mark; should be sharper for latest run at Wexford when made late gains from the back; could outrun likely odds. |
16/1 |
|
7th 14 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Scored at Ayr (7f) in September but her form has nosedived; last of 12 over C&D last month and has something to prove. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (9) |
17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth turf win when successful over Ayr's 7f last month; not so good since and her record on the AW (0-9) hardly bodes well. |

6th 7 (5) |
3rd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
