20th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Contested handicaps on last three outings, easily best form when scoring comfortably at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm; favourite) on second occasion; two runs this term, including latest, prompt concerns if the ground is softer than good; this is also a new trip and she has headgear first time. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Made it two wins from her five starts when scoring at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month in her second handicap; did it comfortably and a 6lb rise may not stop her if conditions are suitable (unproven on slow ground). |

Lightly raced; won a Wolverhampton novice last August (9.5f); well beaten in two handicaps this season, last time finishing just over 6l fourth of six at Windsor on her first run at this trip (good to firm); may do better. |

9st 12lb |
Four wins over 1m, including off this mark and 4lb higher, for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts for new stable, keeping-on second over 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) latest; nicely handicapped and is unexposed at this trip; interesting contender. |

Won four times over 1m for Andrew Balding, the latest at Kempton in February; has not fared quite as well since but beaten just under 2l when sixth of nine in a Redcar handicap (1m, good to firm) on stable debut last week; didn't seem to stay on only run over this trip. |

Won four times on the Flat at 1m2f-1m3f; sold for 29,000gns in July and made a most encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Ballinrobe (2m, good) last month; looks a major player. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 7-20 on AW and 2-3 since wearing visor; midfield in notable handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) most recently, shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; could go well in the retained headgear. |

2-2 since visored, following a 1m2f Chelmsford win with a ready success at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f); up 4lb and drawn widest so she will need to produce another personal best to complete her hat-trick. |

Five-time AW winner who looks a solid contender, having shown herself back in better form with third-place finishes off current mark at Southwell (1m) in last three outings; should be thereabouts again. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |
9/1 |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form. |

4th 3 (5) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
4-10 at Redcar but latest win was July 2025 and he's not been seen to anything like such good effect since, including three times here; latest start (mid-division in large field over 1m) was first visit here this term and he now moves back up in trip, having won four times over 1m2f during 2022 and 2023. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Four of his six wins have been at Redcar including over C&D last July; now 7lb lower than for that success, but he's lost his way since then and has been well held in both runs this season; needs a big turnaround. |

Series of good runs last season, notably when justifying favouritism in this race (soft) off 7lb lower; also won in Abu Dhabi in January (1m4f, good) and wasn't disgraced back here four weeks ago after six months off, albeit having been backed into second favouritism; needs overall improvement and 5lb claimer is enlisted. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but followed that with a poor run at Doncaster and he effectively refused to race in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at Beverley a fortnight ago; hard to know what to expect. |
28/1 |
|
11th 12 (3) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Consistency is an issue but he's on a good mark on this year's best, notably a close third at Thirsk in May; blinkers tried for the first time, which could be significant as the only other occasion he's worn headgear resulted in a Brighton win last summer (cheekpieces when trained by W Haggas). |
16/1 |

8th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Hasn't added to last season's two wins (7f/1m, good/good to firm) but ran well when close fourth at Chester (good) last time on first go at this trip, beaten a length despite stumbling early on; interesting. |
