Won her novice on Polytrack but hasn't run well on the AW since and has rather struggled this year, coming 9lb down the weights; needs a revival back from six weeks off. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Capable Flat performer who ran okay in maiden hurdles during the summer before losing her way; had wind surgery but others look safer. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair Flat racer who made the frame in two of her first four hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third over C&D (good to firm) in July; below form last time, though, and has a point to prove on this handicap hurdle debut. |

Fair Flat racer who has made the frame on two of her three hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third at Stratford (2m, good to firm) in early July; well beaten when back on the Flat last time but still enters calculations here. |

Close third in a 7f Lingfield classified last time but that was AW; no win since August 2023 and it's almost as long since he ran well on turf. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
All wins on good/softer; on a two-year losing spell but arrives in form, having been placed in both runs this term, and remains on a workable mark; has won over C&D and is fresher than most, given the light campaign; warrants respect back here. |

Found only a real course specialist too good when 2l second on June's seasonal return at Haydock (1m, good); remains 7lb below his last winning mark, and makes major appeal dropped to his first class 5 handicap. |

Prolific winner at around this trip, latest in Gowran claimer nearly a year ago; 0-9 for current yard but Down Royal second to Faoladh puts him in the mix on ground he'll handle. |

8th 2 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground, including at Roscommon off 80; bounced back to form with encouraging third at same track last month before backing that up under positive ride at Down Royal 13 days ago when 1.5l second to Faoladh; definitely capable off this mark but soft ground a concern. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Returned to winning ways when scoring over C&D (good) last month off 4lb lower; raced too freely at Ffos Las two days later and may be worth considering back at his last winning venue. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Placed three times from four starts here but his regular hunting ground is Bath and he scored there (1m, heavy) off 5lb lower wearing a new hood/tongue-tie combination in October; kept to that track until the hood was removed in ten-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) on Monday when he saw it well to score under Mason Paetel; carries 4lb penalty but won't mind what the weather does; player. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |

6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (9) |

Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (1m-1m2f) but his last success was over 2m on AW last March; on dangerous mark but he's returned from a lengthy absence with two low-key runs this summer including over C&D; bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner who has dropped 2lb lower then last successful and has twice won off the back of an absence; however, he didn't show enough back from 313 days off at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month to be of immediate interest. |
14/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Is in cracking form at present, winning four of his last five starts, two of which have been over C&D; saddled with a 4lb penalty for his win at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last Thursday, this trailblazer will take some catching. |

Front-runner who is thriving at present and won three of his last four starts, two of them over 7f at Brighton and the other at Bath over 5.5f; ran another solid race at the former track on Tuesday and can go well again. |
