9st 0lb |
Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

Runs well now and again but he's a 12yo who has become hard to win with; opposable. |

3rd 8 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole success came when trained by Andrew Balding in 2023; plenty of water under the bridge since but showed signs that another win may not be far away when second of ten over C&D last month, running on after her path was blocked; place claims at least. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-22; didn't run badly when fifth of 12 on her return from nine months off here (1m3f; first-time tongue-tie) in January; should stay this far on breeding, but improvement is required. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent sort but she was placed over C&D in the first of her two starts last year, which offers hope for a big effort on reappearance; three years since sole win, however. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Carlisle (1m) last May but her more recent form is much less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; this C&D scorer needs to take a major step forward. |
25/1 |
|
11th 9 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Creditable third at Southwell in January (1m) but not so good since; seems to stay 1m2f and wouldn't rule out. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both AW wins have been at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) but her last success was 11 months ago and she's been out of sorts in two runs this spring; down the list. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
This veteran was enterprisingly ridden when back up in trip to contest other division to three of these in C&D classified 12 days ago and he did well to stick on for second once the favourite had swept past; opposable back in handicap company. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
13th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

raced wide, pulled hard, prominent early, led and went clear after 1f, went further clear after 3f |

4th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Losing run up to 50 and didn't show enough when behind two of these over C&D ten days ago to suggest that the drought is about to end. |

18th Jun 2024 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has weak claims on overall form; no improvement for new yard and suffered a heavy defeat over 1m2f most recently; drops back in trip. |
25/1 |
|
11th 14 (7) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish maiden; saddle slipped last time (second run for new yard); holds poor claims on overall form; tongue-tie fitted. |

6th May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish maiden who holds weak claims on form and is best watched unless the market speaks positively; returns to turf on third start for new stable. |
16/1 |
