9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
7f specialist, a Group 2 winner in July 2024; below best when finding Myal just too strong in conditions event at Thirsk (7f, good; 15-8 favourite) on return; may build on that but he's 4lb worse off with that rival here. |

2nd 6 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Raced almost exclusively at 7f; Group 2 winner in Ireland as a 4yo; ran close to that level when second in Longchamp Group 3 (very soft) and the Group 2 Challenge at Newmarket (good; Scoville 5.5l back in fourth) last autumn; disappointing on his 2025 reappearance but won first time up in 2023 and 2024; leading form claims. |

Group 2 winner on Irish soil last term; best effort since when close second in French Group 3 last time; fresh contender, having raced just twice this season; possibilities. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since competitive form over 7f at Listed level in 2023; well beaten in handicap and Listed races in two runs for current outfit but has undergone a wind operation since those; dual winner at 6f but may need further now. |
9/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Had Listed-race form at 7f in late 2023 but she hasn't had much racing since and while her comeback at Haydock in May was satisfactory, on debut for this yard, it still leaves her with a tough task up in grade. |
40/1 |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |

Well beaten over C&D last August on final run for Charlie McBride and absent since; however, she has a handy mark to work with on this stable debut and ran really well on last season's reappearance; not ruled out. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Returned to form to win big-field handicap at York (6f, good) this month on third stable start, going one better than in the same race 12 months previously; a 6lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent another big run. |
11/2 |
|
1st 20 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Soundly beaten this spring on first two starts for new yard; however, he's 1lb lower than when second of 16 in this race last year for Richard Hannon, and he won here in 2023; capable of bouncing back with a bold show. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Had two attempts at this race when with Richard Hannon, winning off 4lb higher in 2024 and losing his chance with a poor start last year; likely player if back to best in this second outing for new stable. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) last May and spell of improved form on AW culminated in 7f Listed win at Wolverhampton this March; she may have needed last month's return to action at York and it's too soon to label her an AW specialist, but she has to leave that latest effort well behind. |
14/1 |
|
13th 1 (17) |
22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Improved form at 7f on AW over the winter once tongue-tie was fitted, until running flat in March; no strong evidence she needs artificial surfaces to show her best, having looked promising when winning a 6f novice at Windsor in May 2023; back from a break but she's still of interest. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
29th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins and two seconds from her five AW starts, most recently a smooth Listed success at Wolverhampton (7f); wasn't as well positioned as Shades Of Summer when second to that rival here on New Year's Day and she's weighted to turn the tables; this is a high-profile ride for 7lb claimer Jack Enright but he's won on her already and she has plenty in her favour. |

0-9 since her two wins in August 2023 but currently in a consistent vein of form; raced mainly at sprint distances but ran respectably over 7f at Leicester (heavy) most recently and again has frame possibilities. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Record is 1-8; gelded prior to substandard effort last month; ran creditably in cheekpieces the time before and that headgear is reapplied today; however, he has something to find on balance of handicap form. |
33/1 |

6th 3 (4) |
17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |

Seems to handle any ground; ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (7f) in June when last seen; possibilities if he's helped by subsequent gelding operation and change of headgear (now blinkered). |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All turf starts 6f on good to firm; successful twice at Windsor (novice/handicap) this summer; latest effort suggests she's ready for a crack at 7f (pedigree backs that up); remains open to further improvement; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
5th 12 (12) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Bred to be smart (by Dubawi; dam won Albany over this C&D) and she has improved with every run, never far away when beating 11 rivals on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; almost certainly open to further progress and could be the one to beat towards the foot of the weights. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Won her novice over C&D (good to firm) and was conceding a penalty to the runner-up when unable to confirm those placings on her return visit; 55 days off but an interesting handicap debutante. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
12 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |
12/1 |
