6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

19th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Leicester in May 2022; record since is patchy but she ran well for second behind an unexposed opponent at Southwell when last seen ten weeks ago; races off the same mark today and claims if returning in similar form. |
10/1 |

10th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Interesting on her 3yo form, notably a near miss in a big field at York 13 months ago, but she's been out of sorts in four runs this year; too much to prove. |

Ended 2022 on a high and she's continued the good work, albeit without winning, this season; runner-up three times in Listed events and also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup when racing nearest the far rail; handles all ground but the recent rain is an obvious positive. |

9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |

9st 6lb |
Made good progress last year for Karl Burke; low-key start for this yard but she was beaten under 4l at Thirsk when last seen eight weeks ago; type to exploit her reduced mark sooner rather than later and she won't mind if the rain arrives. |

Won over 5f last May in her first three handicaps and was still running well in the autumn, including when beaten a nose in a classified over C&D; left Karl Burke and soundly beaten in a French Listed race on reappearance, which sees cheekpieces (tried twice, not at her best) return today. |

Easy winner at Leicester (5f, good to firm) last summer but that was in a small-field novice event and she's not made a major impact in handicaps since; has dropped to a dangerous mark but she failed to beat a rival at Wolverhampton last time and is now 1-15. |

Down the field at Doncaster and Thirsk the last twice and needs to bounce back but she won over C&D (good to firm) in June and the first-time cheekpieces and return to this track could both give her a boost. |

Progressive sprinter last summer and she produced a career best when winning a 5f handicap at Haydock in June; below par at Doncaster five weeks ago having taking a strong hold in the early stages; still not fully exposed and an end-to-end gallop could spark something extra from her. |
