3rd 8 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off. |
9/1 |

12th 8 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-10 over hurdles and still operating too far below her 2024-25 level to consider; pulled up behind Bunker Bay over C&D latest. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Doubled her Flat tally with low-grade AW win in February 2025 but has poor record over hurdles and on the Flat since last summer; difficult to enthuse over. |
33/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Doubled her Flat tally with low-grade AW win just over a year ago but has poor record over hurdles/on the Flat for this stable since last summer; 2lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-11 in handicaps and seemingly not quite as good as she was last year, but front-running third of six with first-time blinkers at Haydock (1m2f, heavy) last time gives her a place chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
27th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 in handicaps and the promise of her seasonal/stable debut has not been fulfilled in her two starts since, favourite on latest; 5lb claimer is enlisted and the cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts) are replaced by first-time blinkers; unraced on worse than good to soft. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 in handicaps and didn't step up from a promising return/stable debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) in April, but she is 5lb lower than when second of 14 here (1m4f) in August last year; could play a part if the return to this track reinvigorates her. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four 1m2f wins (three on soft) in 2023 but she ran moderately last year on both races on heavy; not seen this year until August and uncompetitive both starts, with minimal response from the handicapper, so others are preferred. |
4/1 |
