12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer and she got back on track with a close fourth at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; this is a different test but she's versatile ground-wise and has form at up to 2m; in the mix. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her two turf wins (1m4f/1m6f) last summer, but she's been out of sorts in last four runs and was beaten 11l at Yarmouth last time; has something to prove and she needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
An 8yo who hasn't been at her best of late, on slow and fast ground; however, very capable off this sort of mark if staging a revival. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 8yo who has won two of her last four starts including a cosy success at Beverley (1m4f, soft) last month; 4lb higher on this drop back in trip but she seems as good as ever and could be a big factor again if this sets up for her closing style. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Behind a couple of these when fourth over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a respectable run and she won at Carlisle (1m3f, good) prior to that; went close in this race in 2024; not ruled out. |

29th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Defied long absence to win on stable debut (1m6f, AW) last November and returned from break with close third at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; has gone very close over 2m in the past; one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (8) |
31st May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Long absence before Wolverhampton win (1m6f, AW) in November on stable debut; below form at Chelmsford in December after racing too freely; lightly raced but his solitary run on turf was satisfactory debut in 2019. |
9/1 |
|
6 (3) |
17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from long absence to win quite comfortably at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on stable debut in November; well below that form after racing too freely over same C&D in December and not an easy one to predict here but today's trip/surface combination won't be a problem and he's still lightly raced for his age. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made light of a lengthy absence when winning over C&D (good to soft; made most) from Locked Down Lad and Highbury Hill in November but he couldn't repeat the form at Fontwell (about 2m1f, heavy; has form on that surface) last month; well worth another chance back over C&D. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
3-48 overall with latest win in a Ripon classified (1m2f, soft) in August, which was the same race he won in 2025; opposable on the majority of 2025 and 2026 form, though. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with narrow win in Ripon classified (1m2f, soft; front pair clear) in August and also ran well when keeping-on third in Beverley handicap (1m2f, good) ten days ago; should be fine back on Tapeta; each-way claims at least. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Started out in bumpers; easily best of his three runs in handicaps came when fading into fourth of eight here (1m4f, good) on penultimate start but others have far more solid claims. |

21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Started out in bumpers and was well held in his first six starts but he shaped with promise when a fading fourth in a Leicester handicap (1m4f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and could be dangerous if he can build on that back in trip; all of his turf runs have been on good/good to firm. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |
