16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Out of the money in Listed grade last time; very consistent at a suitable level and gained a due win at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) three starts ago; solid back down in class. |

Steadily progressive filly for whom conditions are unlikely to pose a problem; latest defeat at Newbury came in a Class 4 handicap so she's got her work cut out in this line-up. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up over C&D (good) last month and won five-runner handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good to soft) next time; this looks a better race than last time but she's up just 2lb and has a progressive profile. |

His only win (17 races) came in April 2023 at Windsor; can race freely and makes his first start in seven months; has raced on AW only twice and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for the first time; difficult to gauge but any market move should be noted. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
About 7l behind Diamond Bay at Goodwood (1m6f, good) on final Flat run but has since won well with the blinkers back on over hurdles, albeit an ordinary handicap; Ashley Lewis also takes off a handy 7lb; could have some role to play. |
8/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing over hurdles since Plumpton novice win (2m, good to soft) in early 2024 and not seen in this sphere since down-the-field finish in Ascot handicap in December; in fairly good form on the Flat this year, though, and his current hurdle mark ought to be workable; market may guide. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't had much go right in his last two starts and is best known for his Polytrack exploits, as when successful off 4lb higher at Kempton (1m3f) in April; finished second of 14 over this C&D as a 3yo, though, so certainly one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and last two have been off higher marks over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in April but he was creditable fourth of 13 here last time and has claims if he can built on that. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Not far behind Ludo's Landing at Beverley before a poor show at Epsom (soft); now 0-13 on turf but he's 3-12 on the AW and that includes a C&D success; nothing wrong with his mark. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who has lost his way since winning over this far at Lingfield in June (good to soft) but he is dropping back from Class 4 level. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

10th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

3rd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Half-sister to a few winners for her owners; opened her own account at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month and, with still low mileage, looks likely to improve further; respected up 4lb. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Five-race maiden who is bred to do better, being half-sister to a few winners for her owners; clear second at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last week and warrants respect off same mark; due to go up 4lb in future. |

10st 4lb |
A fair 1m4f AW winner for Hughie Morrison in 2023; seemed only poor over hurdles for Steph Cameron subsequently, pulled up at Uttoxeter 27 days ago; returns to this sphere for her new handler with something to prove. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
On a reduced mark and she took a step back in the right direction at Sedgefield in November in this headgear combination, but she was still soundly beaten in third and needs to build on that effort today. |

9th 3 |
30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but her respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 19 days ago was a step back in the right direction and it's worth remembering that her only hurdle win was gained over this C&D. |
11/2 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track. |
