5th 2 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Hold-up mare who hasn't found her best form yet this season; slipping down the weights and she's likely to come good again soon, albeit her record suggests that might be on AW. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Quirky sort but she scored twice last term and wasn't seen to ideal effect from a wide draw when tenth of 22 in 7f York handicap last month; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark, especially if starting better. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (19) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere. |

Good third in a 7f Cork handicap in September but failed to beat a rival in two starts since; others more likely. |

Penultimate Cork third was her best run for a while; soft ground probably against her last time so may appreciate return to this surface. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two 5f wins at Newcastle this winter and he finished third off a 2lb higher mark back there in February; disappointed behind Little Mi Mi last month; could rebound with a promising 7lb claimer booked. |
9/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Notched his second C&D success when winning by a neck in January and he posted a solid effort when third of ten here 15 days ago; place claims again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Held off the late finishers to notch his second C&D win (11-2; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; respectable effort (sixth) over 6f at Wolverhampton latest; Jack Callan's 5lb claim may aid the cause from a handicapping perspective. |

10/1 |

6th 5 (8) |
19th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Only four runs, showing promise at Southwell in May and also on last month's handicap debut when a never-nearer seventh of the 11 runners, not getting a clear run at things late on; can do better and needs a market check. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
27th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dandy Man colt who hinted at promise when fourth in a 6f novice at Southwell but failed to build on it when fifth of eight in 6f Redcar maiden in May; back for his handicap debut after a wind op and shouldn't be written off. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ended last season with a success; however, two duck eggs this term help to reflect her inconsistency and leave a big doubt over her current form to boot. |
25/1 |
|
10th 13 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Made all, scrambling home at Redcar (7f, Class 6, good to soft; from 3lb lower) last September; showed that same speed before weakening on seasonal reappearance at Thirsk (7f, good; 11th of 14; 25-1) in April; has a tricky draw to navigate, unless electing to go far side. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (12) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |
7/1 |
|
3 (10) |
31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to encounter ground softer than good; placed at Yarmouth last Sunday; registered his most recent success off this mark over C&D in April; interesting back here. |

19th Jun 2023 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finished last of eight in Lingfield handicap (5f) on latest AW start, taking record to 0-4; holds weak claims on overall form and this switch to turf needs to prompt improvement. |
25/1 |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Sixth of nine on her Lingfield debut (7f, Polytrack) in March but well beaten back there last month; can be handicapped after this. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

20th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has achieved little in three qualifying runs at up to 7f; allotted a basement marks for handicaps but still hard to make a case for. |
50/1 |
|
9th 9 (4) |
19th Jun 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on her debut last May and was the same story on her comeback in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) last month; now steps up to 7f and can only be watched. |
