25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two 6f wins, the second on Polytrack off a 4lb lower mark; some of his placed form since reads well and a lesser effort last time can be excused as the undulations of Epsom looked an issue; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims. |

8st 13lb |
Consistent 3yo who kept on well for 3l second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained); on that latest evidence today's first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's a possible. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form when fourth in first-time visor at Ripon (5f, good) three weeks ago despite stumbling and nearly losing his rider at the start; possibilities off same mark if the headgear has the same effect. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has mostly duck eggs in his form figures this term but won at Ripon (6f) in April and the return to this venue, combined with first-time visor, may have positive effect; scored over 5f last year. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving for her current yard and she arrives on a hat-trick after landing handicaps at Redcar (5f) and Wetherby (5.5f); up another 4lb but this course scorer remains handily weighted on old form; player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred. |

Off the mark on first run for this yard in five-runner nursery at Leicester last time (7f, soft); up 4lb; chance. |

1st 2 (4) |
12th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Four runs for Ralph Beckett, running her best race when fourth of 13 in a Windsor novice in July (6f, good); didn't get home over 7f on soft ground on her nursery debut at Chester five weeks ago; down in grade and still not fully exposed; stable debut (same owner). |

Night Of Thunder filly who is in good hands; encouraging debut at Windsor (6f, good) three weeks ago, keeping on for fifth of 13; drops into a weaker field and warrants respect with progress on the cards. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Drawn a blank since his Ffos Las nursery win (6f) in September 2023; big prices and well beaten in four runs for John Butler but he ran better than the distance beaten at Lingfield 17 days ago (forced a strong pace and weakened quickly in the final furlong); tumbling down the weights and he needs a close look in the betting now back sprinting. |

Yet to add to 6f turf win for Jack Channon in September 2023 and was safely held on all three starts for John Butler in the autumn (7f-1m); lurks on a dangerous mark though and needs a check in the betting. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runner; doubled his tally over this C&D when winning in first-time cheekpieces in April but he's struggled in both starts since; others look stronger. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Flopped over C&D 51 days ago when reportedly unsuited by being unable to dominate; he had earlier won twice over C&D this year and he's not impossibly treated; goes without cheekpieces this time. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (10) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

Well beaten when 66-1 for nursery debut at Ffos Las (6f, soft) in late July; sports first-time cheekpieces here and today's trip-and-surface combination may show him in a better light, but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |
