12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Well treated on last season's form (including here) but disappointing in the main this season; her best form has come on soft/heavy going. |

Record is 2-14; best effort this term when third in suitable conditions at Chester (1m2f, soft) on penultimate start; each-way possibilities off current mark, provided she gets ideal ground (soft/heavy). |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |
11/2 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November 2023 when trained by Marco Botti; down the field in all four starts for this stable, including here over 1m last time (first-time blinkers); back up in trip in a switch of headgear. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Marco Botti 4yo with a strike-rate of 1-18; down the field in three runs for this yard and tries blinkers. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Ex-Marco Botti; won a Kempton maiden (1m) in November 2023 and a few fair runs at up to 1m3f after that; well beaten at long odds on turf on both starts for present connections; best watched for now. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season with big-field win at York (1m2f, good) in the autumn and posted another career-best performance when leading close home over C&D (good) on reappearance outing in May; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten in valuable Espom handicap on Oaks day but still enters calculations on return to this track. |
11/2 |
|
14th 14 (14) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner (made most) on reappearance at this meeting last year and, from four return visits, he placed twice last July; ended the campaign with a career best to win at York (1m2f, good; came from midfield) in October, which sees him raised 6lb today but he has to be in serious calculations. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner at 1m who was dropped back down to 7f when he scored at Newmarket (good) in May; stayed on for third over that trip on the July course a fortnight ago so this first start at 6f is something of a surprise. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not straightforward but he is a capable performer on his day and he landed his first turf success when beating Silver Ghost on the Rowley course six weeks ago, again hanging right under pressure but full value for the neck winning margin; up 3lb but has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on turf and his best form (and both wins) has come on AW; below par on AW on last two starts and arrives with something to prove. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
12th 13 (9) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |

midfield on inner, headway from over 2f out, soon bit short of room, ridden and challenging over 1f out, kept on well to lead towards finish |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem. |
4/1 |
|
1st 12 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 on AW and he was never a threat over C&D in March; remote third over 2m at Musselburgh (good) three weeks ago and he now drops back in trip with added blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins last season, the latter gained by 10l here (1m6f, soft; also suited by much quicker ground) in October; not in same form on either outing since returned to the Flat in March (1m4f/2m; cheekpieces refitted last time) but still considered. |
9/2 |
