14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two nurseries on turf last season; mixed form on grass this year but he's dropped down the weights and returned from a break with a fair fourth at Southwell (5f, AW) last Tuesday; could be involved. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two Catterick wins on good to soft ground as a 2yo; now 9lb lower than for the second of them but that is a result of a quiet campaign this year; down in grade after an 80-day break and a revival may be predicted by the market. |

20th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice on good to soft at Catterick as a juvenile (5f, 6f); rather disappointing in cheekpieces or blinkers this season (beaten 10l when last at Pontefract last time); headgear switched here but plenty to prove. |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Good third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in July and now 5lb lower; however, she finished down the field on her final two runs for the Fell/Murray yard and it was the same story on her recent stable debut; now 0-17 and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers (replacing a hood). |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-16 for her former stable but she has plenty of placed form, including over C&D; this represents a drop in class and her new yard (same owner) try her in a hood; one to consider. |
10/1 |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who is inconsistent and was below par at Redcar last week; however, she's popped up with a few good runs this year and perhaps this prominent-racer will be aided by the first-time cheekpieces and her low draw. |

25th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sprung a 33-1 surprise over C&D in September; not beaten far on her next three starts and when down the field here last time it was over 6f; better expected back at 5f. |
9/2 |

7th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won a 5f nursery here in September and has continued to run well, most recently a close fourth at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta); kept on well last time and this first crack at 6f is worth a go; on the shortlist. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Best efforts so far have been on turf but no reason why she shouldn't be fully effective on this surface and Hollie Doyle again rides; however, she'll have to improve to win this. |

19th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Not without a bit of promise in first two starts, finishing sixth of nine on her debut over C&D last month and clear of the rest when fourth of eight at Carlisle (good to firm) 18 days ago; may be one for nurseries after this, though. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f scorer in 2025; hinted at a revival when sixth of 13 in 8.5f handicap at Beverley nine days ago, finishing well from a poor draw; very much one to consider. |
7/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Respectable fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time, with reappearance under her belt; has form over C&D but the forecast ground isn't ideal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though. |
10/1 |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
