18th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took well to the application of tongue-tie/cheekpieces, drop in distance and switch to handicap level at Leicester (6f, heavy) last week; has to overcome a penalty (1lb lower in future) but could well build on that success; shortlisted. |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All runs over 7f; made the frame on AW debut but well beaten since then, latterly here on soft ground; dropped in trip for nursery debut and with headgear added, so comes with risks. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Scored over C&D on heavy in October 2024 and recorded her second win, at Windsor (6f, soft), last September; below that form on her two subsequent starts last year and watching brief advised on this reappearance unless the ground turns in her favour. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Good third in 6f Leicester nursery in October but he's not come close to that form since and was out the back on recent stable debut at Southwell (5f); record now 0-9 and has plenty to prove on his step up to this trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark. |
6/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

No improvement for the step up to a mile at Chelmsford two weeks ago (behind Majestic Heights) but she did run into some traffic and did enough to think she stayed; others are still more appealing for win purposes though. |

Has won here on good ground but appreciates it softer, as he showed when going close over 5f at Chepstow three runs back; he's considered off a good mark. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

2lb lower than for the latest of three wins last year, but this season's form has been patchy and the suitability of ground faster than good is still to be established. |

Scored three times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up. |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took a forward step in the new blinkers when narrowly beaten by a fellow nursery newcomer over 7f at Newcastle (AW) where the third was some 3l back; should cope with the 6f okay but he did run poorly in his previous encounter with soft ground. |
11/4 |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Beaten a long way in three starts over 6f/7f on turf, but he may show more now switched to a nursery with blinkers applied; stable has a 28% strike-rate here in past five seasons. |

Kept on quite well for fifth on nursery debut here (7f, good to soft) and 1m was perhaps too far last time; unraced on ground this slow and 6f is another doubt, but she has a race in her off this sort of mark. |
