30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive on the AW over the winter, winning three 6f handicaps; further progress back on turf this summer, winning competitive Class 4 events in May and June before coming up just shy in her hat-trick bid last week (hit top gear too late); likely there is better to come from her but this is a step up in class. |
16/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three AW wins during the winter and she's found more progress when scoring over C&D (good) and at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in last two starts; up another 5lb but she should get a good tow into this race and is strongly respected in hat-trick bid. |

Enjoyed produce AW campaign (three 6f wins) and returned from break with a win at Windsor (6f, good) three weeks ago; did that despite having to wait for a clear run and this progressive 4yo is respected up 6lb. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been much better than this level in his time but winless for 18 months; in the money over C&D on each of his last three starts and likely to make another bold bid; cheekpieces now added. |
4/1 |
|
6 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Without a win since scoring at Windsor (5f, good to soft; from 20lb higher) over 18 months ago; has been knocking at the door over this C&D in recent weeks, including when beaten a neck (Call Time third) on penultimate start; foolish to discount. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form in better races than this but he's on a losing run now and failed to benefit from a drop to this level at Southwell (6f) last month; needs revival back over 7f on course debut. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Losing run up to 16, but he has winning form over C&D and drops to this level for the first time; not beaten far the last twice and a major player on these terms; cheekpieces removed. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though. |
16/1 |
|
10th 1 (4) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He had dropped down the weights prior to a ready C&D win in December, his third course success; a 4lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted and he is high on the list. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run. |
6/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

In better form than her form figures imply as she's been finding her share of trouble; running style lends itself to that but capable of having a say should the breaks come at crucial times; goes well at this track. |

10st 12lb |
Her form has been patchy since she won at Nottingham (6f, good) in May but she's now 6lb lower and can also be effective on soft ground; it might be dangerous to rule her out. |
16/1 |

14th 5 (16) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |

1st 4 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface. |

9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |

Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |
