4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

Fine on all ground; second to Lerwick here two runs back but she wasn't as good last week and has to rebound from that. |

9st 8lb |
Won this race on good ground a year ago and followed up on soft ground over C&D a week later; not in same form this season but handicapped accordingly now and was placed over C&D (good) on last two outings; ought to make her presence felt again. |

Failed to fire at Newcastle last time, an effort that was disappointing given she broke on terms; on the same mark as for her Chelmsford win in August but others have more pressing claims. |

6th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Overcame a tardy start to win at Chelmsford in August (6f) but she hasn't got away with it twice since; feasibly weighted but her propensity for missing the break makes her a risky proposition. |

Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |

1st 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

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. |
16/1 |

11th 14 (6) |
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. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win for James Ferguson at Wolverhampton (5f fillies' maiden; second start) in May 2023; hasn't really figured in four starts (6f-7f) since joining this trainer; visor applied dropping back in trip from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) for James Ferguson last May and runner-up three times later in the year, but out of the frame in all three outings since debuting for this yard in December; exposed after 12 starts and plenty to prove up in trip. |
16/1 |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Reliable sprinter for James Ferguson; two runs for new stable haven't been her best but cheekpieces (worn once when recording her peak RPR) now return; a possible. |

3-27, the most recent of those wins coming at Brighton (5.5f, soft) in September; caught wide at Kempton on her first start for 137 days but now has the cheekpieces back on and may take a step forward. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 but she ran her best race so far when runner-up behind a well-backed favourite in a C&D nursery (good) eight days ago; did clear best of the closers in that race and she's a big player off same mark; hood added. |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Her first two runs were encouraging but she hasn't progressed, albeit she looked stretched by 7f at Leicester three weeks ago; this is uncompetitive and she can't be discounted dropping in grade. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving for her current yard and she arrives on a hat-trick after landing handicaps at Redcar (5f) and Wetherby (5.5f); up another 4lb but this course scorer remains handily weighted on old form; player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender. |
4/1 |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred. |

16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Some early promise but she's struggled since moving into handicaps; dropped 14lb as a result and not beyond the realms of possibility that blinkers could coax something extra from her. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (7) |
11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in first two starts at Newbury last summer, including when fourth of 16 in a maiden (6f, good; 200-1), but disappointed afterwards; fair fifth of nine on her Lingfield return (6f, AW) a fortnight ago but more is needed. |
10/1 |

5th 10 (4) |
28th May 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Promise in novice/maiden company but she disappointed in two Class 5 nurseries in the autumn; dropped 8lb for those efforts and possible she'll fulfil that early promise this season; check betting. |
