6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, outpaced 4f out, kept on from over 1f out, wandered around inside final furlong, lost third and weakened final 110yds |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Hard to fancy on the evidence of the last 12 months but he was useful in his prime and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on his third start for this yard. |
33/1 |

9th 11 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 5lb |
Won from 4lb higher last year at Hamilton (1m4f, soft); has shown little since and was last seen on the end of a 34l defeat returning from an absence two weeks ago at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good); needs to bounce back. |
33/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won twice last summer, at Ballinrobe off 49 and Hamilton off 52; going through the motions at Dundalk earlier this year; capable off this mark on return to turf but drawn wide and might need this after a 114-day break. |
33/1 |

30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Far from solid on form; soundly beaten over 11.5f on sole run this term (handicap debut); best watched unless the market suggests improvement is expected. |

29th Apr 2024 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 3lb |
Far from solid on her 2yo efforts; had wind surgery since last run; may be a different proposition now handicapping off bottom weight and she's one to monitor in the betting. |

3rd Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to get heavily involved in six starts; showed minor promise at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) on his penultimate start; sported blinkers when beaten 10l back there latest; may improve if another change of headgear (eyeshield) and a 2lb drop helps. |
16/1 |

11th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-race maiden; ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (handicap debut; two places behind Rising Force) last month; switch to blinkers may squeeze out progress from him; one to consider. |
