12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Ties in with Glory Hyde on Wetherby reappearance running; has done all her winning in Class 6 but she's 2-3 over C&D and could go well from a good draw back here. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Beverley in the space of a week last July; went close off 1lb lower at Pontefract in October; ran well on last year's seasonal debut but just a suspicion others are better handicapped. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 5f Beverley scorer in July who recorded a very good neck second of 12 to Wrestling Revenue at Pontefract (5f) 11 days ago; well drawn there but enjoys a 5lb weights pull with the winner so she merits serious consideration. |

Reliable sort who posted his best effort when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces in 6f Kempton nursery last month; weighted to go well nudged up only 1lb. |

Just missed out in a 6f maiden here in June (soft) and also finished second at Ffos Las in July (Class 6 nursery); another fair run at Chepstow last month; would be receiving 13lb from Lieutenant Rascal in a handicap but doubt there will be that much between them. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |
7/1 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in 2025, the latest at this track (6f, good) in September when 3lb lower; several good runs in defeat since and he is a leading contender with this likely to be run to suit. |

0-6 but she ran her best race so far when runner-up behind a well-backed favourite in a C&D nursery (good) eight days ago; did clear best of the closers in that race and she's a big player off same mark; hood added. |

3rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Her first two runs were encouraging but she hasn't progressed, albeit she looked stretched by 7f at Leicester three weeks ago; this is uncompetitive and she can't be discounted dropping in grade. |

30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Rallied gamely to win a five-runner maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) in June but subsequent nursery form has been somewhat underwhelming; seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when fourth of six in recent Wolverhampton seller (6f) but went back up 3lb for that run; others preferred. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won four handicaps for Alice Haynes last year (one over C&D), latterly off this mark, despite often lugging left; not offered a lot in two runs back for his current yard and needs a revival. |
33/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won four handicaps in 2025, including at Chelmsford (7f, AW) on his final start for Alice Haynes; failed to beat a rival home here over 6f on his stable debut but he may come on from that first start for 205 days. |
16/1 |

11th 5 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won four handicaps over further for Alice Haynes in 2025; only 2lb higher than for his Chelmsford success when last seen 205 days ago (7f); races enthusiastically and it could be that sprinting proves even more suitable; interesting starting out for Dylan Cunha, |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again. |

Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering. |

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. |
