Won five on the spin last season, four of them here (all 6f); running creditably in defeat this year but she needs the step back up in trip to have a positive effect if she's to win. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Last two wins at 6f but has been shaping as if this return to 5f will suit; defied higher marks twice under Pat Cosgrave in the summer of 2022 and holds major claims on that form. |

Won a big race over C&D in 2022 off 6lb higher; only 1lb higher than for her game success at Chelmsford in November but she'll need to be somewhere near her best on this return from five months off. |

Began the season with placed efforts at Windsor and Ascot (third of 26); not quite so good the last twice and she returns from five months off in a competitive race for the grade. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his novice here over 6f (first-time tongue-tie that's been retained since) but he dropped to last on final start at Windsor and now goes handicapping off what's probably a harsh mark; cheekpieces added on first run over 7f. |
13/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten at odds-on at Newcastle on his racecourse debut (6f) and probably didn't have to improve on that runner-up effort to win a 6f novice at Kempton 137 days ago (tongue-tied for the first time); open to improvement and a wind operation since last seen could help matters; solid contender. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended last season with a success but has contrastingly started this campaign in poor form; hasn't won away from Newmarket since 2022; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Said goodbye to 2025 with a Newmarket win (6f, good to soft) in November; has won on good to firm but he missed a recent intended return on the surface and this might be needed anyway (soundly beaten here last April). |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |
|
10 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |
20/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Did too much up front kept to AW on return from break last time, again running below the form of his January win; effective on turf but has never defied a mark as high as current one. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |
16/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Easy win over C&D in December off 3lb lower; should be sharper with his recent return to action behind him but others preferred at this level. |

11th 7 (12) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good order last winter, winning easily at Chelmsford last December and finishing second over C&D (off 2lb higher) in January; drawn wide on his return from 226 days off and likely there will be other days. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |
|
7th 13 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed. |
