8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Good record in AW sprints and she recorded a personal best with a front-running win at Yarmouth three weeks ago (6f, good to firm; well backed); 3lb rise to deal with but she's back against her own sex and can't be ignored. |

Has a very consistent record (2212) in 6f AW contests, runner-up here the final time; best turf effort when second at Windsor (6f) this month; holds solid claims back in this sphere. |

5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

Maiden is 0-9 on turf; placed in a couple of maidens but has failed to make any impression in handicaps, including in first four runs for this yard; cheekpieces need to spark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Failed to win in Britain and not much encouragement to take from three runs for this stable; too keen at Naas on latest and others look more convincing. |

Landed a pair of 5f Pontefract handicaps this summer but he's been well below par there and at Thirsk (5f) since; needs to bounce back. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Right back to his best of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps; this is tougher under a 5lb penalty but he can't be dismissed in his hat-trick attempt. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |

5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |
8/1 |

1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

Won this race on good ground a year ago and followed up on soft ground over C&D a week later; not in same form this season but handicapped accordingly now and was placed over C&D (good) on last two outings; ought to make her presence felt again. |
