17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins over 1m, including off this mark and 4lb higher, for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts for new stable, keeping-on second over 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) latest; nicely handicapped and is unexposed at this trip; interesting contender. |

Won four times over 1m for Andrew Balding, the latest at Kempton in February; has not fared quite as well since but beaten just under 2l when sixth of nine in a Redcar handicap (1m, good to firm) on stable debut last week; didn't seem to stay on only run over this trip. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song. |

Progressed through the handicap ranks last term and has stepped up to Listed grade this season, winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) most recently; ready for a crack at Group level and should go well. |

The drop to sprinting didn't help at Lingfield 13 days ago, weakening in the straight; blinkers return today but there is other pace on show and he's got too much to prove for comfort. |

Won a 2yo novice at Newbury on his third run for Richard Hannon (6f, good); winless at three but he ran some good races off much higher marks than this; hasn't lasted home over further in two Class 4 events for new yard this season; may fare better sprinting but he's not a solid option. |

Just one win from 14 starts but he's been placed in his last four handicaps and didn't get much luck in a Racing League event at Windsor (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; on same mark as for that close third and he's respected. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reappeared with a useful Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May but has been found wanting in Group 3s since and looks best watched after being brought down in a bad accident at York last month. |
22/1 |
|
9 (4) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form when Listed winner against her own sex at Newmarket (6f, good) and that form has been firmly boosted by the clear runner-up Frost At Dawn; however, two lesser performances have followed in Group 3s at Haydock and here and she needs a much bigger run today. |
16/1 |
|
4 (1) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Took a good step forward when winning a 6f Listed event at Newmarket in May; never a threat in a 7f Group 3 at Haydock since and likely vulnerable to the 3yos. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 14 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most. |
12/1 |

7th 11 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to win in 2025 but he ran some solid races in defeat and he makes his seasonal return off a dangerous mark; interesting to see how he fares in the betting. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |
|
2 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |
7/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Good second over 6f here in April when rated 7lb higher; not come close to that level since, including over C&D 16 days ago; drops in class but with enough to prove. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced since 7f win in 2022; has dropped some pounds this year and he wasn't far off his best when losing out to an unexposed one at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 15 days ago; back up 2lb but likely to go well again; the more juice in the ground the better. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (8) |
29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Winless since 2022 but he arrives in decent form, not lasting home over 1m4f when ninth at Newcastle a week ago; he needs considering back down in trip. |
12/1 |
|
12th 8 (3) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) last August off an 8lb higher mark on final start for Clive Cox; latest start (fifth of ten over 1m2f at Ayr) was a big step back in the right direction and gave hope for 1m4f, but there's clearly a bit for him to prove with trip/ground on AW debut. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Better than ever since joining this stable, winning three of her last four races; easily beat four rivals at Hexham (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago and an 8lb rise should not stop her being competitive again. |

10th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has looked quirky/awkward at times; perhaps hard to place after winning first two starts for the Johnstons and he left them for 3,800gns in February; new yard had a winner with a recent recruit last week but this one might be best watched. |

Lightly raced 3yo who won 8.6f AW novice last November and drops back in trip on his third outing for this yard; however, he's hard to fancy based on what he's shown the last twice (1m2f/1m3f). |
