Course winner; only eighth in the corresponding race 12 months ago; 4lb lower today but he is drawn wide and this may not be his day. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |
7/2 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has turf form but starting to look like an AW specialist, rewarding market support when seeing off Heavenly Heather and 11 others over C&D two months ago; weighted to confirm the form with his old adversary and he is still 2lb lower than for his fine C&D second last May; strong claims. |
5/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his time with Julie Camacho with two solid runs in the spring, notably when second of 13 at Newcastle (6f); things have gone south since, albeit in top sprints, and a wind operation didn't arrest the slide at Haydock four weeks ago; cheekpieces return (ran well over 7f here in one previous use); stable also runs Solar Aclaim. |

in touch with leaders on far side of group, pressed leader from 2f out, edged right 1f out, no extra final 110yds |

7th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m, good) last August on second start and followed up in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in September; this unexposed 4yo has potential off his opening mark and he's firmly in calculations. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Confirmed the promise of his Thirsk debut in July (7f, good to soft) by winning a 1m novice back there last month; improvement required to defy a penalty but it's not out of the question. |

2nd 5 (2) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Improved from May's Ayr debut when beaten 2l into fourth of nine at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in July; half-sister to an AW winner and cannot be dismissed easily. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dam was useful over this trip and he's shown enough in three starts over 7f-7.6f to suggest he's worth considering back from a short break on handicap debut now handed a stiffer test and fitted with first-time headgear/tongue-tie; watch the market. |

29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First foal of a Group-placed 1m winner whose siblings include Oaks/dual Arc winner Enable; attracted support into 15-2 on recent Wetherby debut (7f, good) and he ran well to finish third of 16 behind a useful prospect; has quite a bit to find with Upscale but he should know more this time and is open to progress over this longer trip. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
No wins in 17 and soundly beaten more often than not this season; runs well now and again but he's very light on AW experience. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
16-race maiden; went close in Ayr classified (1m, good) last month but finished well down the field in a subsequent AW handicap (1m2f) and cannot be relied upon heavily; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |
12/1 |

10th 3 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten last October when last seen but on heavy ground; prior to that he was a close fourth over C&D and this lightly raced 5yo reappears with his trainer (who runs two) among the winners; could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
6 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good) in July and bounced back from lesser run here (7f, good) with staying-on fourth at Redcar (7f, good to soft) in a first-time hood (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer now back up to 1m, provided the ground suits (unproven on soft/heavy). |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who went close on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last August and, after three lesser runs on AW, was back on song when 1l third at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 11 days ago; this front-runner can make another bold bid and could be bang there once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Ripon novice in final 2yo run and he started last season with a close call in a Haydock handicap (1m, good to firm); looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and has been well held in all of them; still lightly raced but he needs to turn things around back on turf. |
20/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has progressive turf form; hasn't translated that to AW in two attempts but still early days and it's possible he needed last month's reappearance after wind surgery. |
