9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) on seasonal debut in April and again ran well over that C&D last month; didn't fire when back on turf recently (restless in stalls) but has form at this track and enters calculations. |
10/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Has a consistent record here (32142132224) and has shown enough since returning on the AW in April to suggest he remains in form; should go well. |

Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |
22/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |
5/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these. |
6/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable. |

Registered his most recent win off just 1lb lower over 1m4f here in February but hasn't shown enough in two runs back from a break to suggest his turn is near. |

Twice runner-up for Andrew Balding but left that yard as a nine-race maiden after disappointing in new blinkers at Sandown in July; 33-1 and only mid-division on stable debut in the Legends Race at Doncaster. |

Eight-race maiden; runner-up twice at Ffos Las (7.4f) last August; holds weak claims on 2023 form; chance depends on how well he responds to change of headgear (blinkers replace the visor worn last twice). |

1-28 but looked as though he might be on the way back when beaten 3l into fourth of ten behind Kessaar Power over C&D in October in a first-time visor; now 7lb better off, but the headgear was missing when not so good back here a fortnight ago and is missing again today. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Veteran who scored over C&D in October, but she's not easy to predict and was 6l behind Nordic Glory here ten days ago; needs to bounce back again after that disappointing run and others are more persuasive. |

8th 4 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Regained the winning thread in C&D event in November and has made the frame in both starts since, latest at Kempton; this in-form veteran can't be dismissed. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Under a length away on three successive occasions (7f-1m) and could want quicker ground than she encountered last time at Leicester; hard to rule out. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Tapped into new-found reserves of stamina of late, going close twice over 7f before another good run upped to 1m at Brighton three weeks ago; fully effective on slow ground but remains to be seen if she needs a stiff test over 1m on this ground. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly progressive record on turf for current yard features good-ground wins at Chester (7.5f) and Pontefract (1m) last June; may still have more to offer and remains of interest, despite an absence since July; market confidence would cement her claims. |
14/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Turned things around after break when scoring over C&D last month and she followed up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days later; held in hat-trick bid at Pontefract last week but she travelled for a long way and found more progress with that creditable second; only 1lb higher here and she's strongly respected back at this track. |

She's fully 8lb lower than when winning at Epsom (7f, good) last August but for good reason, having been unable to get competitive this year; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major revival. |

Her mark continues to slide but she's been unable to threaten this year, most recently when upped to 1m2f here; big stamina question to answer now tackling another new trip. |

His win over 1m at Bath in May (good to soft) stands out like a sore thumb as he's not been even placed in his other starts; slowly away and hung when tried in cheekpieces the last time. |

Bath win in May (1m) is the anomaly in his form and he could do with settling better in first-time headgear (cheekpieces). |
