21st Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made all when winning off a 6lb lower mark at York in the summer; has been some way below that level since, including when a beaten favourite here last time, but the step back up from 5f should suit. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year, who ran well when seventh of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last week; she's below her last winning mark and has strong claims back down in grade. |
4/1 |

7th 21 (15) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; now 2lb lower than for that success, but she took her turf record to 0-11 when only sixth of 11 at Chester (extended 1m2f) last time; this is more her trip but she's still hard to make a case for. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
No Nay Never filly whose 6f 2yo form for James Horton featured two wins, including Carlisle handicap on final outing; sold for 45,000gns last month; bred to stay this new trip; heed the market signals on debut for new connections. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark on her second start at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in June and a creditable fourth of 12 on nursery debut at York (6f, good to soft) on her penultimate outing; didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of seven at Leicester (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and each-way claims granted a smoother trip this time. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has a striking pedigree but she's not progressed in her four runs so far and was a never-dangerous fourth in a York nursery (6f, good to soft) last month; kept on well in that race but she was beaten 4l and needs to find more here. |

2nd 2 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up from his debut when winning a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) in June, but held in all three starts since including two nurseries; didn't stay 7f last time, but even if this trip may suit him better he still needs to resume his progress; soft ground remains a question mark; stable runs four. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
12th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won his novice over 5f and hasn't improved for 6f the last twice, latterly finishing 5l off the principals on his nursery debut at York (good to soft); getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped and 7f is a grey area. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win was in a Redcar maiden (6f, good) in May 2023; some creditable efforts on AW this year but he struggled over C&D on recent stable debut; that took his handicap record to 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor reapplied. |
12/1 |

3 (5) |
6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Below par back on turf last time, taking handicap record to 0-11; best form at 6f; not the percentage call on debut for new yard. |
14/1 |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
6f maiden winner (good) who has largely been campaigned on AW surfaces of late; well beaten back on turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; has since changed hands; drops 2lb and is not ruled out each-way if he can transfer some of his better efforts back to this surface. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Won twice at Hamilton in September (6f, good to soft and soft); not so good twice since and likely vulnerable at this level. |
16/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Back to 6f when winning successive Hamilton handicaps in September (good to soft/soft) and it was a belated return to 5f when below par last time; however, this is a tougher grade than she's accustomed to. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Benefited from the return to 6f of late, winning both starts here (good to soft and soft); flying high but has a penalty to carry in a better race back over 5f for the first time since her debut; still not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |

16th 17 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |

1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in May and he was back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday, making virtually all under Jack Nicholls; yard continues in flying form and he's respected under a penalty. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from 21 starts and that was in a maiden in August 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights but he generally struggled for Nigel Tinkler last year and was last of ten on recent stable debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); visor is now added. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up. |
