9st 12lb |
Won on the AW for Richard Hannon; 0-8 on turf; best effort for current yard came in a Killarney claimer in July (1m, good) when wearing a tongue tie and visor, which are back on today; well-beaten in two handicaps since and is unproven on soft; others look more likely. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |
8/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more. |

12th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Promising debut in 6f contest here ten weeks ago, keeping on for third of 11; that form is working out well and he looks an interesting contender with improvement on the cards; one of his siblings scored over 5f. |

4th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Defied a higher mark at Kempton (6f) on handicap debut; has failed to build on that win, however; first-time headgear needs to help. |

20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f winner here one year ago; only seen three times this year, faring better when a never-dangerous sixth over C&D 19 days ago; more needed to win. |

6th 2 (2) |
1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Won here (6f) on handicap debut a year ago; well below that level in three subsequent starts; handy mark but has a bit to prove. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time C&D winner who's well drawn for one happiest up front; only won one of her last 29 starts, which include 18 defeats at 6-1 or shorter, and she has a bit more on coming out of handicap company, but she usually gives her running round here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hard to knock her consistency since winning over C&D last June but her losing run is up to 22; should run her race again but more minor money could be here best hope. |
7/1 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Hard to knock on the consistency front and Saturday's third over C&D (visored first time) was another solid effort; set to run her race once again but it might not be enough to end a losing run which stands at 21. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Has form figures of 213 in handicaps on Polytrack, the win gained in small field over 1m here; creditable third at Chelmsford last time; not without a chance, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f. |
7/1 |

16th Dec 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Never in the picture when upped to 6f at Chelmsford last month but had shown a glimmer of ability over 5f previously and this trip should have suited on pedigree; not dismissed now handicapping. |
16/1 |

7th 11 (9) |
3rd Nov 2022 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Modest RPRs in a couple of 5f races, latest here; seems a handicap prospect on that evidence but moving up to 6f may prompt a bigger effort; stable also runs Empire Of The Sun. |

1st May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Came in for support ahead of his comeback and has shown that this mark is within range in two handicaps since (said to have hung right throughout at Lingfield); is a player if the first-time headgear does the trick. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most. |

Won a 1m classified event at Lingfield in January but she hasn't really progressed since; didn't run badly in this headgear behind Daisy Roots nine days ago, without suggesting she would be coming out on top. |

8th 12 (2) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise over C&D on her handicap debut in January; no progress since and although she ran creditably on turf here eight weeks ago, the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt today. |

Bred to be a lot better than she showed in three 6f runs as a 2yo; good draw for her handicap debut/reappearance and interesting to see if she attracts market interest. |

Outsider when towards rear on both starts, beaten just over 8l on debut (7f, AW) last November but tailed off at Leicester (7f, AW) three weeks ago; surely one for later on. |

Washington DC half-brother to winners Billy Mill (6f-1m including AW; RPR 88) and Daphinia (Listed-placed 5f AW 2yo; 84); has fair standard to aim at on debut and is best watched unless market is persuasive. |
