3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran on good to soft on debut and all turf starts since have been on soft; that poses a question and he needs better than he showed at Newmarket on latest start, but he was a runaway winner of 8.5f Epsom novice the time before; bit to prove on this third attempt at 1m2f but his trainer has won three of the last five runnings of this race. |

0-5 but he was a good third of six in a handicap at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago and shaped as though he may benefit from this drop back in trip; trainer won this in 2018 and 2019 and he holds solid claims. |

27th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent and finished last at Newmarket 11 days ago, but she won at Hamilton (1m1f, good) in June and was a good third at Ayr (1m, good) last month; not ruled out. |
7/1 |

6th 1 (7) |
16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
One of her better efforts when chasing home a big improver over C&D last summer and she has run well on both turf starts this year, winning on reappearance at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and close up at Ayr (1m, good) in July; first time William Buick has ridden her in a handicap; every chance. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent and below par at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time; however, prior to that she made a winning reappearance at Hamilton (1m1f, good); also effective on soft/good to soft; can be a contender if she's on a going day. |

Got off the mark at Lingfield (2m) in February and has continued in good order, challenging wide when fifth there (2m) three weeks ago; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

7th 11 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |
8/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His sole win was over hurdles 14 months ago but he looked a bit unlucky when runner-up in that sphere at Huntingdon (2m) 24 days ago; now returns to the Flat but conditions should be fine and he needs a close look in the market. |

12th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A half-sister to Irish Derby winner Westover so it's been an underwhelming start to her career, finishing no closer than 9l in 7f-8.5f events; should appreciate this longer trip now handicapping but the fitting of blinkers sets alarm bells ringing. |
5/1 |

25th May 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Nearly 10l off the winner when third at Newmarket last August (7f, good to firm) and ended up tailed off when a strong favourite for her return at Epsom (1m, soft); as a half-sister to Irish Derby winner Westover she's no doubt capable of better at some stage. |
13/2 |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
100-30, soundly beaten third of six on debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last August; this half-sister to connections' Irish Derby winner Westover is open to plenty of improvement this year, especially over today's extra yardage, and she could play a leading role on her return. |

9st 3lb |
Half-sister to useful 1m3f-1m4f winner Caius Chorister (RPR 102); stepped up on her novice form to finish a close fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f AW; first-time tongue-tie; 18-1) despite racing freely during a wide trip; one to be interested in back in distance. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Back in excellent form after 12 months off and landed 1m6f handicap at Bath nine days ago; up 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is not taken lightly. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won on fast ground last May at Salisbury (1m6f) and Bath (11.5f); tailed off later that month but his recent reappearance here was a step back in the right direction; each-way claims if he's come on from that run. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Better than ever returned to turf last May when winning on fast ground at Salisbury and here; on a realistic mark for this belated return to action. |
