26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

7f novice win as 2yo; better form in defeat in handicaps this year, finishing second over 1m1f here (good to firm) before a good third of ten in a traditionally very strong 3yo event at the Newmarket July meeting (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; should go well. |

9st 4lb |
Twice runner-up in seven starts including in a maiden over C&D on her April reappearance, albeit over 7l behind the winner; well held in three handicaps since, finishing last of 14 back here last month; enough to prove. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Essentially disappointing since finishing runner-up on her second start and when runner-up here in April she was well beaten, as was the case in her subsequent handicaps (1m/7f); bit to prove now. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Back off the same mark as when successful at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September; Flat form since has been patchy but still one for the shortlist, especially if the ground stays on the soft side. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Achieved little twice over hurdles before his third of five from the front over C&D two months ago when last seen; that was comfortably his best show on AW but he needs to find extra. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Achieved little over hurdles the last twice; four-time winner on Flat turf but is less solid on AW form and doesn't seem set to defy top weight. |

12st 0lb |
Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect. |

5th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Clive Cox; well-beaten both previous turf starts last season; favourite for a Newcastle handicap on stable debut on reappearance on first run after being gelded, but finished only seventh to a subsequent winner (1m, tongue-tie on); tongue-tie retained and cheekpieces now tried; a bit to prove. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack for Clive Cox last year; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie after six months off having been gelded in the meantime; longer trip should suit on breeding and is a half-brother to two multiple course winners; no great surprise if he steps up. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects. |

4th 8 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

18th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced and just about his best run yet when beaten under 3l over 1m4f here last month; ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield since and they are quickly discarded; no shock were he to have a bigger performance in him. |

9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
