22nd Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Big improver once handicapping for this yard from April onwards, winning over 6f at Wolverhampton, 7f at Chepstow and 7.5f at Ffos Las; not at her best in her bid for a four-timer in July but she's still capable of better and a tongue-tie is now added. |
7/1 |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced mare who has taken off since returning for this yard in handicaps and teaming up with Rhiain Ingram, winning her last three including over C&D (good to soft) in May; only just held on when making all at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) last month but may have won by a bit further had she not hung; 3lb higher but very much on a roll. |

25th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has form figures of 211 since joining new yard and switched to handicaps, making all for comfortable win off 5lb lower at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) on turf debut most recently; particularly unexposed at this trip and on grass; open to further progress and warrants respect. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |

4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when last in action but generally in good form this summer, most notably when winning Lingfield classified race (7.6f, good to firm) in June; each-way claims at least if back on song. |

13th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark at the 20th attempt, in a classified at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in June; similar form on all three starts since and should be on the premises; tongue-tie (last worn in December) returns. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 (6) |
26th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt when winning over C&D last month (0-50 classified; good to firm); similar form in two runs since (badly hampered late on last time) and unlikely to be far away. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |
14/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |

2nd Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner but his last success was 19 months ago and he's been well held at Chepstow (1m/7f) in last two starts; cheekpieces are removed after one use and he needs to raise his game back on AW; one of three runnners for the yard. |

One of her best efforts when third of nine over C&D in February last year; but her last six efforts have been particularly poor and is now 0-13; blinkers need to have a dramatic effect. |

Appreciated the drop in class when winning a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January, but form has regressed since; plenty to prove back on turf (beaten a long way in both starts on grass as a 3yo). |
