1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |
9/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |
25/1 |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Rattled off a hat-trick during the first half of 2023, all on good to soft or slower; not a lot to shout about since, however. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Creditable second on seasonal/stable debut at Thirsk (6f, good) in May, but not seen again until disappointing AW run last week (finished lame); could still have untapped potential over 7f but is not easy to predict. |
10/1 |
|
12th 4 (14) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate but she ran well on her seasonal and stable debut at Thirsk (6f, good), finishing second of 17; 2lb rise fair enough and she needs serious consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple AW winner; out of sorts this winter, however, and the addition of blinkers needs to turn things around. |

15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three times over 6f in early 2024 and was placed in a valuable race on sole attempt at 7f but is yet to strike form since returning from a break in December and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have come over 5f on turf and was only beaten a head at Thirsk (5f, good) six days ago; 1lb well in and won't mind what the weather does; major player. |
100/30 |

2nd 1 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won five times on turf on a variety of ground; did best of her group when ninth of 17 at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) on her return but failed to beat a rival home at Yarmouth 55 days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
