30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Ran well twice in August, including C&D, but her form has dropped off more recently; one of two runners for connections. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three Musselburgh wins last year (all on good); hasn't found quite the same form this year, despite placing over C&D (good to soft) in August; disappointed at Musselburgh just five days ago. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do. |

4yo maiden; some fair efforts last term, including here, but this season's campaign has been a write off and wind surgery will need to have worked wonders. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

4yo maiden; record of 442 at classified level includes a respectable fourth in this race last year; needs to bounce back from a dismal reappearance effort. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-13 this year and has dropped to a mark in the 40s; best recent effort when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) on penultimate start; has the worst chance at the weights on current figures. |

9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Serial hard puller who appreciated the return to AW when making all off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; far too free for Jake Slawson (having his first ride under rules) at the same course last Tuesday; much will hinge on how he settles. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Revived by a return to AW when making all in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; a 3lb rise isn't excessive and he is ideally drawn to attack; apprentice Jake Slawson takes his first ride under rules. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; hasn't got a lot going for current yard, on the AW and turf, and was last in a Brighton classified on final start. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D classified event in January; too keen for his own good over 1m here since and can fare better at 7f. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came good at 13th attempt, with 7f course win in this grade three weeks ago; enjoyed run of the race in that slowly run event and his overall profile remains unconvincing but he should be fine back at 1m. |
7/4 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; some headway from the rear when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f; 25-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step over 6f here five weeks ago; others preferred. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 25 starts who hasn't been doing himself justice of late but he wasn't too far away in a better C&D race than this (good) in June and a repeat of that form would see him close up. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up at Redcar (7f, soft) in May and fair third here (1m, good) next time; has possibilities judged on those efforts but two lesser runs have followed and he's now 0-24; needs to get back on track. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has failed to beat a rival in two handicaps, at 7f (finished lame) and 1m2f; now tries 1m with blinkers fitted but has much to prove. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 (6) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Half-brother to a 5f winner out of the yard's useful sprinter Intense Romance, so this trip has to be a big question mark; lost his action and was found to be lame after a poor handicap debut (7f) two months ago. |
16/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
20th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held at single-figure odds in two juvenile runs last summer and was last of nine at Newcastle (5f) on his return last month; takes a big step back up in trip but he needs to show a lot more on this handicap debut; stablemate of Mambha. |

Triple-figure prices in each of seven starts and all to prove at these unfavourable weights on return from 12 months off. |
25/1 |

10th 8 (4) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who failed to beat a rival on both his starts last autumn; he's very hard to make a case for after an 11-month absence. |
