20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins this year, including on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in June; back on form when third of 13 over 7f at this course here (good) six weeks ago, faring best of those on his part of the track. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time AW winner but he was reluctant to race at Kempton (tailed off) last month and finished well held back off a lower turf mark at Sandown (1m, good) last time; record on grass is 0-9 and others are preferred. |
14/1 |
|
4 (9) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on this year's AW form but reluctant to race when well beaten at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and he has a lower turf mark for a very good reason (0-8 on grass as opposed to 5-12 on AW). |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m wins in spring 2024, on AW and at Yarmouth (good to firm), but most of her efforts for this yard have been ordinary and she hasn't been in remotely good form on her last two starts. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m winner in 2024 but she's yet to hit top form this term, beating only one in 1m handicap at Chepstow 40 days ago; others are preferred. |
15/2 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look. |

9st 5lb |
Thirsk novice winner (1m, heavy) last May who has not made much impression here in her three handicaps (1m, 1m3f and 1m) since; lightly raced, 6lb lower than on handicap debut and tries another trip. |

19th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Best run for current stable when third in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; 1lb lower here but shade disappointing back at Brighton recently; now tongue tied; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from 14 starts but that came off 2lb higher at Epsom (7f) last August and she returned to form with good third over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; responded well to first-time cheekpieces in that race and has claims if she can build on that. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A 7f winner in 2023 for Ali Stronge but she has failed to build on her debut for her current yard on two starts since, latest when ninth of 13 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month; down 3lb but needs to step up. |

9st 5lb |
Doubled his winning tally with a game success at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and still needs to prove his stamina over this far, but a major player otherwise. |

1st Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last year with a Wolverhampton win (9.4f, Tapeta) but he's finished down the field in two runs at Nottingham (1m2f/8.3f) this spring; wasn't beaten far last time and is effective at 1m2f on Polytrack but others are more persuasive. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only fourth of six on soft ground at Ffos Las (6f maiden) and conditions were good when going down narrowly to an improving rival on his handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good); it's too early to draw any firm conclusions on ground preferences and he has appealing form claims off just 2lb higher. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise at Kempton last October (7f, AW); placed in four of her five runs this season and although this shorter trip asks a new question of her, she's one to take seriously again. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Kempton winner who has run well to finish placed there (7f) in her last two starts; still unexposed on turf but she was only eighth of ten at Leicester in May and has a bit to prove back in this sphere. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Handicapped to the hilt since winning three fast-ground handicaps during early summer but she continues to run well and again gave it her all last week at Bath (1m, good); solid chance once more, though ground softer than good to soft would spell danger. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Paid the price with the handicapper for three fast-ground wins in early summer but has generally done well since and ran another honest race last time at Ripon (1m, good); hard to knock. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour. |
