18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; third in two handicaps since, with a creditable show at Leicester (7f, heavy) latterly but he was no match for winner Temper Trap. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 11 (5) |
8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; respectable third in a handicap (1m, good) next time and he has to be given a second look if it's heavy ground again. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

13-race maiden who drops to this level for the first time, but recent efforts have been moderate and she still has stamina to prove. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

11-race maiden who has form figures of 70066 for new yard this year and she's been beaten around 9l in last two runs; has stamina to prove now upped to this trip and is not hard to look elsewhere; hood added. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner at 1m last June but under the parapet thereafter and he never reached a challenging position at Newcastle last month (dual winner there); temptingly treated but risky. |
16/1 |
|
1 (1) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and has finished down the field in last three runs but he defied this mark over C&D (good to firm) in June; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he can get back near best. |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Modest form (no impact) in three AW runs late last year; something seemed amiss on seasonal/handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in July, reportedly unsuited by the undulating track, and she was withdrawn once in August when the ground was heavy; no solid claims. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
18th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Minor ability at 1m and 7f on AW in late 2023 and this well-connected filly is worth a look on handicap debut for in-form yard; however she's been off since December and if she needs a run or two she's likely to be eligible for easier races in the future; market can guide. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Ended 2025 with victory at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December and largely in good nick this term, a close fifth in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap two weeks ago; not ruled out off a 2lb lower mark. |

1st Nov 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Recent efforts not so hot, but he did win a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in July and is 7lb lower than when a close fourth of 12 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March; worth a second look. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August. |
14/1 |
|
2 (15) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Wins have all come in April but there was nothing wrong with his Doncaster second off 2lb lower a month ago, when clear with a subsequent winner; not always been the most consistent, though, and would have preferred some rain. |
6/1 |
|
1 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Harriet Bethell in April last year, over 1m at Newcastle and over 7f on soft here (won by 4l); has changed yards twice since (bought for 2,000gns in October); won again at Wolverhampton in April (7f) but hasn't done quite as well since. |

Won two 0-50 classified events here (8.6f) early last year and finished third of nine over this trip in between, but it did appear to expose her stamina; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton over 8.5f last year but she's been below her best in five starts since the latest of those wins; cheekpieces which were worn last time are now removed, and the tongue-tie returns. |
33/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner in similar events to this and has saved her better efforts for this surface; well below par since winning here last March; plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

Two 6f wins on AW in January and he also ran well over 7f in March; no worthwhile turf form so far, however, and there are risks attached back from three months off. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
He made a winning handicap debut in June 2024 (7f, good); mixed record since and his Brighton second last September was the only real bright spot in 2025; chance if returning at that level but it is not assured. |

5th 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was 15 months ago but that was off 7lb higher and he returned to form with a near-miss over C&D last time; has leading claims if he can back that up but best form has been on good/good to firm and it would be a worry if the ground is testing. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began this season with two disappointing efforts but his fourths at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (1m1f, good) last month were very respectable; drops in grade and features prominently in calculations. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |

4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |
