25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hit-and-miss performer who hasn't run in a sprint in over a year; been more consistent this season but she'll want a good test over such an easy 6f and plenty of rain would aid her cause. |
7/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from layoff with C&D (good) win in May and also ran well when placed at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) later that month; still on a workable mark; features prominently in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
9 (3) |
30th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made the most of a useful mark when winning on Musselburgh return (7f, good; has won on soft) in April; has to prove as well suited by a stiffer test at the trip but she's still well treated after going back up just 1lb and the recent rain will not be a problem. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Handicapped to the hilt since winning three fast-ground handicaps during early summer but she continues to run well and again gave it her all last week at Bath (1m, good); solid chance once more, though ground softer than good to soft would spell danger. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Paid the price with the handicapper for three fast-ground wins in early summer but has generally done well since and ran another honest race last time at Ripon (1m, good); hard to knock. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A case can be made on some of her form but she's not been great of late and returning to 6f casts further doubts. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
5th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
in touch with leaders, went third over 4f out, pressed leader from 3f out, soon pushed along, ridden and weakened inside final furlong |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
26th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed over 7f on turf (good) and AW; best efforts give her claims from this mark but she'll need to better her three efforts this year; cheekpieces may help; not ruled out. |

29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Limited ability in four starts for Richard Hannon and on her debut for this yard, but performed better when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 11 at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last time; the fourth horse has won since and she wouldn't need to improve much to make an impact here dropped another 1lb; cheekpieces given a go. |
7/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
25th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Five-race maiden who achieved little in Class 6 event at Musselburgh (on debut for new yard) most recently; holds weak claims on overall form and is hard to fancy. |
40/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
5th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |

in rear, detached soon after start, pushed along 3f out, never on terms |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
17-race maiden who has finished no better than tenth across his five starts this year; new headgear is applied. |
50/1 |
|
13th 14 (11) |
27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
With a new yard but he's a longstanding maiden who hasn't been in any sort of form of late. |
50/1 |
|
10th 9 (9) |
3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has basically struggled since placed in his first two 2yo runs and that early promise was for a different yard; opposable. |
