26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

7f novice win as 2yo; better form in defeat in handicaps this year, finishing second over 1m1f here (good to firm) before a good third of ten in a traditionally very strong 3yo event at the Newmarket July meeting (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; should go well. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Twice runner-up in seven starts including in a maiden over C&D on her April reappearance, albeit over 7l behind the winner; well held in three handicaps since, finishing last of 14 back here last month; enough to prove. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Essentially disappointing since finishing runner-up on her second start and when runner-up here in April she was well beaten, as was the case in her subsequent handicaps (1m/7f); bit to prove now. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Achieved little twice over hurdles before his third of five from the front over C&D two months ago when last seen; that was comfortably his best show on AW but he needs to find extra. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Achieved little over hurdles the last twice; four-time winner on Flat turf but is less solid on AW form and doesn't seem set to defy top weight. |
6/1 |
|
11th 5 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Achieved nothing at Fakenham (2m4f) on the switch to hurdles but has the potential to do better, being a four-time Flat winner (fairly useful). |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect. |

5th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Clive Cox; well-beaten both previous turf starts last season; favourite for a Newcastle handicap on stable debut on reappearance on first run after being gelded, but finished only seventh to a subsequent winner (1m, tongue-tie on); tongue-tie retained and cheekpieces now tried; a bit to prove. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack for Clive Cox last year; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie after six months off having been gelded in the meantime; longer trip should suit on breeding and is a half-brother to two multiple course winners; no great surprise if he steps up. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

A three-time winner (at up to 1m2f) in 2025 but he signed off with a below-par fifth in 1m2f Nottingham handicap in October; has won off a break though. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
4yo who's come into his own this season with three wins, the first two on a sound surface at this track (1m/1m2f) in April and the latest when coming from the rear at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; needed some riding last time and is 5lb higher today but he was strong where it mattered and finished well on top. |

18th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced and just about his best run yet when beaten under 3l over 1m4f here last month; ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield since and they are quickly discarded; no shock were he to have a bigger performance in him. |

10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |
