1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |

Saw his run of good form come to an end when eighth in 6f Southwell handicap 13 days ago; this C&D scorer is the sort to bounce back though. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |

9st 12lb |
Six-time course winner (various ground) who runs off the same mark as when winning at Ffos Las in June; however, she's failed to shine here on her three runs this autumn and needs to turn things around. |

9st 6lb |
Versatile ground-wise and has won six times at this track; most recent win came off this mark at Ffos Las in June but she had a major blip over C&D (heavy) 20 days ago and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat. |

Soft ground was no issue back in the spring when winning in novice and handicap company; progress has rather stalled but it wasn't a bad run last time and she's on a decent mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |

AW win came on Polytrack; rarely runs on Tapeta and the return to this track (5f) and the drop to this level was no help this month. |

5th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Veteran who hasn't been firing on all cylinders for a few months now; consequence of that is he's eligible for this grade and he's one to note for market confidence with Rossa Ryan taking over today. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

The winner of ten of her 39 starts, notably when scampering clear of ten rivals in a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; this represents a much stiffer assignment. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Three wins last year and campaign concluded with good fourth of 11 over this C&D (good); down the field on reappearance at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but may have needed the run and is not ruled out. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |

Seven wins from 18 AW runs, three of them here; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark but she goes well fresh and the booking of Oisin Murphy is a notable one. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two lengthy absences in her younger days and returns from ten months off tonight; progressed well for the hood going on last summer but will need more off her revised mark, 13lb higher than for Leicester win last June; refused to enter the stalls in two intended starts later in 2023. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had stalls issues as a 3yo, refusing to go in three times; progressing nicely this term, winning Class 6 handicaps at Nottingham and C&D and missing out by only a short head in hat-trick bid six weeks ago (hung left and collared by one who kept a straighter line); aversion to the stalls resurfaced at Goodwood last month; can do better but soft ground a query. |

Had stalls issues as a 3yo, refusing to go in three times; progressing nicely this term, winning Class 6 handicaps at Nottingham and Leicester (5f, good or quicker) and missing out by only a short head in hat-trick bid ten days ago (hung left and collared by one who kept a straighter line); due to be 3lb higher from the weekend and still has more to come; major player. |
