21st Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Inconsistent sort with a record of 1-27 but his win was on Polytrack (7f) last autumn and he finished a fair fourth at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last Thursday; was well backed into 6-1 for that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only 2l but readily dealt with by B Associates in a 7f classified here 12 days ago (good), taking her career record to 0-43; probably that bit more effective down at 6f, but still brave to name this the day. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Placed three times in 11 visits here but is now 0-42 and looks up against it, even at this level; stable also runs Primrose Maid. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
41-race maiden but her best efforts on turf have been here; went off the boil in the spring but it was a respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; weakened gradually that day so the return to this trip might help a bit. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |
10/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most. |

Currently on a handy mark; however, form dipped on latest start and now has something to prove away from ideal venue Chelmsford. |

0-6 and yet to be placed; however, showed some promise at Chelmsford the last twice and gives the impression there may be a bigger effort in her; not without hope. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only a modest fifth to Nemorum over C&D 12 days ago, taking record to 0-5; however, may still prove capable of better, being a 3yo filly who retains low mileage. |

30th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Below form the last twice including when well behind Brave Display at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently, but is 2-3 over C&D and drops in grade; could make an impact if first-time blinkers have a positive effect. |
6/1 |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Twice a winner over 1m at Southwell (Tapeta), including on his penultimate start when 3lb lower; can blow the start and was never involved when returning to that C&D latest; hard to have confidence. |

14th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m classified event at Lingfield in January but she hasn't really progressed since; didn't run badly in this headgear behind Daisy Roots nine days ago, without suggesting she would be coming out on top. |
33/1 |

8th 12 (2) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise over C&D on her handicap debut in January; no progress since and although she ran creditably on turf here eight weeks ago, the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt today. |
