28th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins (6f, various ground) from her first four starts before a solid third in a nursery at Doncaster (6.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; tackles a new trip here but her dam won over 9.4f and she's a player if she stays. |
9/2 |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
The winner of three of four races, all at 6f, with the wins on good to firm, soft and good to soft; this is more demanding up 7lb but she was strong at the finish at Hamilton last time and today's extra yardage should suit on pedigree; may not have reached her ceiling just yet. |

bit short of room soon after start, in touch with leaders, headway and went third over 1f out, kept on to lead final 110yds, won going away |

Mainly disappointing since sole win at Beverley (5f; seller) last May and he was always behind in a Southwell classified (6f) 119 days ago. |

11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Adrian Nicholls; ten-race maiden who hasn't shown a great deal for her new yard recently but today's softer ground should be ideal. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Fair run on her stable debut/reappearance in April but she took a backward step at Catterick in May; absent since and improvement is required but her best RPR came on good to firm, a surface she's only tackled once. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only win in 20 races was at Nottingham in July 2023 (6f, soft); very well handicapped on that form but mainly disappointing this season and hard to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
14th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won a Nottingham handicap (6f, soft) last July but she's 0-14 since and has finished down the field in most of her runs this season; now 12lb lower than for her win but she's finished behind Alice's Impact a couple of times recently and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done most racing in sprints and has regressed this year; stamina will be tested again, round a stiff course from the outside stall, and she's some way down the pecking order. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form on his second run after wind surgery when a front-running second at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he's 6lb lower than last time and is well handicapped on his second at York last spring; respected. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on peak form and his midfield finish at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, on first run after wind surgery, was encouraging; he has a higher mark to contend with back on AW but this represents a drop in class and he shouldn't be underestimated. |

9st 4lb |
Chepstow maiden winner (5f, good to soft) for Alice Haynes a year ago, but has failed to beat a rival in her four starts since including all three for this yard; cheekpieces removed after one use; plenty to find back from eight months off. |

18th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
5f winner in May for Alice Haynes; has failed to beat a rival in three runs since, including two for new yard; going the wrong way and first-time headgear needs to make a big difference. |
