20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed maiden; fully effective at this track but he'll need to leave his last two starts behind him; new headgear now tried. |
14/1 |

10th 3 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but has finished runner-up in two of his four visits here, including after wind surgery in a first-time tongue-tie in April (7f); each way claims if reproducing that form off 3lb lower; stable also runs Loubiere. |
11/1 |

8th 1 (7) |
27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No wins in 12 but didn't run badly in his first two runs after wind surgery (here over 7f/1m at Ayr) and it wasn't his first poor run on turf softer than good last time at Beverley; off since early May but not ruled out with a hood added. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting. |
7/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Always behind on all three appearances this season but was a three-time course winner (1m, good to firm-soft) last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; fine over today's trip and sure to appreciate this ease in grade; interesting to see whether connections opt to revert to more positive tactics today. |
8/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won here in 2024 and added three wins at Ayr last year; she's below her last winning mark but has been well beaten on both outings this spring and a major turnaround is necessary. |

3rd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and there was a hint of a revival over 1m here two starts ago; however, he was well beaten here (1m2f) last time and is back to having plenty to prove (including stamina). |
