18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
4yo who was suited by the return to 6f when winning the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (66-1) by a neck from Big Mojo; hampered and unable to recover behind same rival in Sprint Cup at Haydock (25-1) next time; closely matched with several of these at her best and may well bounce back. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
4yo who was suited by the return to 6f when winning the Group 1 July Cup at 66-1 at Newmarket (good to firm) last time; won a Group 3 on heavy ground last September; needs to prove that latest performance was no one-off but her 6f form-figures now read 21111 and she's entitled to respect. |
8/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Very useful filly whose 5f record features a Group 3 win last September; faces a difficult task on ratings but is interesting returned to 6f, having posted form figures of 2111 over this distance, most recently bagging Listed honours on French soil last August. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Group 1-entered filly who created a pretty good impression when winning comfortably on debut at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month, then easily beat modest rival in 5f match race a fortnight later (good to firm); has a lot more on her plate here but it's very hard to gauge the limit of her ability. |

Shadwell castoff; moved well and stretched clear late on to make a winning start at Yarmouth (6f, soft; 7-4) and the third has won since; looks useful. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Good efforts on his last three 5f runs but in between there have been two lesser efforts over 6f; did win over C&D off 1lb higher last November though and he can't be left out of calculations. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice at Newmarket (6f, good) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since; finished runner-up on stable debut at Leicester last month but he was 6l behind the winner and and is only 1lb lower on this drop back in trip; well-beaten sixth in the 4.25 here on Friday. |
9/1 |

6th 9 (1) |

On a long losing sequence but he made a good start for his new yard (formerly with Darryll Holland) when second of nine in 6f Leicester handicap 18 days ago; more is needed from 3lb out of the handicap here though. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
8yo who is running for the first time since last July and his losing sequence goes back ten races to May 2024; however, he went close when last seen and he's right at home on slow ground; capable of having a say. |
15/2 |

3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well suited by a stiff 5f (three-time winner on the July course at Newmarket); signs he may be in decline this season, for a yard who may hold stronger claims with Cloud King, and the first-time visor (three ordinary efforts in cheekpieces previously) needs to help. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

She hasn't matched her peak Irish 2yo form in five runs for her new stable this year; last week's Newmarket third will need bettering if she's to feature but the addition of cheekpieces might help. |

3rd 2 (3) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

A 5f winner in Ireland last September but hasn't offered a great deal in four handicaps for new yard this season and this is a belated first run at 7f. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in a Down Royal maiden (5f, good) last September but she's been well held in three handicaps for new yard this season and is now 1-10; down the list. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |
5/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well. |

Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |
