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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 2lb |
Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |
4/1 |

1st 10 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner. |

18th Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) last month, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third last week, only a nose behind Ella's Gold who bids to advertise the form in the first heat; makes plenty of appeal. |

Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has seven AW wins to his name, the latest at Kempton (7f) in May, but he's 0-14 on turf; solid fourth in this race last year, however, and latest sixth of 14 (1m, AW; hampered) suggests he can play a part again. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Seven AW wins, the latest on his seasonal return last month when getting the better of I'm Working On It (7f); midfield on turf latest; returning to AW is in his favour but all his wins have come at 7f (0-10 at 1m+) and he could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers today. |
9/1 |
|
8th 11 (16) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground). |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on turf in the summer of 2023 but better known for his AW exploits since; well beaten at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) on last month's return to grass; others are safer. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance. |
25/1 |

13th 14 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb
|
Limited maiden (6f-1m2f) who struggled in early summer; the combination of a gelding operation, first-time headgear and different ground conditions needs to help massively after five months off. |
33/1 |

12th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each of his three runs as a 2yo for Dominic Ffrench Davis; gone backwards in two handicaps for this yard (at about 7f) and he's not really bred for this far. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished strongly to lead close home at Lingfield (11.6f, soft) in July and is now only 1lb above that mark but her subsequent form has been underwhelming and she's not one to rely upon. |
20/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All races over shorter, getting off the mark over an extended 1m3f on soft at Lingfield in July; lesser effort upped to 1m6f next time and never a threat back on Lingfield AW (1m5f) 11 days ago; stamina unknown for 2m. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (6) |

Gained her breakthrough victory here (11.5f) in July and not disgraced off a 3lb higher mark when fourth of ten at Catterick (1m6f) 17 days ago; she can't be discounted. |
