On a losing run of 18 but does know how to win and drops below 0-60 level for the first time; each-way claims; stable also runs Maryland Star. |

Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

9st 8lb |
Two runs here include soft-ground C&D defeat of Bobby Dassler in August; also landed a pair of 1m AW classified events at Southwell in March and wasn't disgraced returned to turf handicaps on his last two starts; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) in March but he's been well held back in handicaps in his last two runs; didn't run badly at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in April but that took his turf record to 1-18. |

4th 3 (13) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Won plenty down the years, often on soft turf in the summer, but time has looked to be catching up this season, latterly when comfortably held behind We've Got This early in the month. |
10/1 |

6th 7 (10) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who came good for current stable in C&D (good) classified) last month; only fourth of six behind Flora Prince in subsequent Chepstow handicap (1m2f, good to soft) but ought to handle today's conditions. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 for new stable this year; ran quite well when fifth of ten in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was soundly beaten at Chepstow three weeks later; others have more pressing claims. |

Four Flat wins but he hasn't achieved much at big prices in two handicap hurdles, at 2m1f and 2m7f; no great appeal this time, either. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |

1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

Four wins came on turf later in the year and made it 0-16 on the AW when tailed off over 1m6f here five weeks ago; on a career-low mark now but it's hard to find any other positives. |

12th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Both wins have come at Yarmouth (11.5f), the most recent from 4lb higher in May last year; may not have liked the soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) last month, but still needs the return of the blinkers to have a positive effect. |
