18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has placed form over the trip but she's 0-9 over 6f+ as opposed to 3-16 at 5f; didn't run badly on AW three weeks ago but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers this time. |
12/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Turf win here last month (5f, good); not so good at York a fortnight ago but that was a warm race; promise in each of her three AW starts thus far; not ideally drawn though and others perhaps stronger for win purposes. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who looks well handicapped on his win at Haydock (5f, good) last autumn but he's been disappointing at Musselburgh and Goodwood this spring; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival with headgear removed; stablemate of Rhythm N Hooves. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful front-runner who returned with a good third in 5f AW listed event at Lingfield in February; not at his best on soft ground at Musselburgh since but can bounce back here. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough 5f specialist who usually makes the running; a respectable third at Lingfield six weeks ago should have blown away the cobwebs; concedes weight all round but he's a classy type and should go well. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |
33/1 |

10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Successful in a Yarmouth 5f handicap in week one of the Racing League; latest 6f run easy enough to overlook and he's a contender back under suitable conditions (won the 5f handicap at the Racing League meeting at this track last September). |
14/1 |

14th 2 (10) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
All of his five wins have been at 5f; won two in a row in Bahrain in February and he landed a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; hit a personal best with that success but this is tougher off 5lb higher and his only previous run at this trip resulted in a heavy defeat. |

2nd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |
20/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
20/1 |
|
19th 4 (18) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |
40/1 |
