11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 6f events (good/good to soft) for Michael Dods as a 2yo; drew a blank in 2025; makes stable debut in a competitive race after 259 days off; likely best watched. |
28/1 |

10th 7 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won for over a year and yet to tackle AW but ran well on first outing over 7f at Musselburgh last time, faring the best of those held up; another to consider. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Sprinting filly who is 0-7 this season, albeit has slipped to an attractive mark; something to prove over this new trip but the combination of sharp track and forecast sound surface may enable her to see it out. |

20th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Promise at an ordinary level on first three starts but well beaten both starts in handicaps and best watched after near four-month break. |

Close second on debut at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last month; unable to reproduce that promise on her two runs since but she's not ruled out on this nursery debut. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Returns to turf for the first time in a year on a more sensible rating; issues at the start have been costing her of late and much will depend on how she gets away from the outside stall. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tough filly who took time to find her form again but won two in a row in early spring, over C&D (overcame a wide draw) and at Chelmsford (5f), and subsequent defeats came over 6f then very slowly away here in April; form claims. |

11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability but he needs to produce more than he's managed in his first two nurseries if he's to come out on top today; visor goes on. |
9/1 |

19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth behind Educating Rita at Catterick on his second start and he's 11lb better off for just over 3l; still looked a work in progress when sixth at Carlisle two weeks ago (6f, good to firm); looks a likely improver now his attentions are switched to nurseries. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Rediscovered winning ways at Musselburgh (7f, good; 16-1) in August but she has proved troublesome since, failing to offer anything positive at Ayr, Catterick or Musselburgh (7f-1m); clear and obvious risks attached. |

26th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Third over 5f at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton since switching to nurseries with a tongue-tie added; should be competitive but needs a bit more for the win. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
7th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

took keen hold, pressed leader early, prominent after 1f, pressed leader over 2f out, no extra and lost second inside final furlong |

8 (3) |
6th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Weak finisher over 5f, 7f and 6f with hood fitted each time; may see her race out better now handicapping in tongue-tie and dropped back to the minimum distance. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form when making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a selling handicap over C&D (good to firm) last month; lost a shoe when down the field at Ayr (5f, good to firm) on Monday but this is a hotter race than the one he won here two starts ago and others are more compelling. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a selling handicap at Hamilton last time (5f, good to firm); only 2lb higher so not out of it with headgear on again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner (one over C&D) who is 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (5f, AW) last December; however, he's struggled since April and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Exposed sort who is 0-9 since debut win (5f, AW) in the spring and has failed to progress; on the plus side, she's attractively weighted (10lb lower than last attempt at this trip). |
11/1 |
|
12th 4 (11) |
16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed sort who is 0-8 since debut success (5f, AW) in the spring and has failed to progress; seemed a non-stayer over 7f on penultimate start and has enough to prove back at this distance. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-21; mainly seen on the AW but appears to handle turf; drops to this level for the first time and the stable won this last year; each-way claims. |
13/2 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Faded out of contention on last month's stable debut at Kempton (6f; first-time visor) but is well handicapped on his winter form for Mike Murphy and this C&D suits; sports refitted cheekpieces; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win was in December 2024 but he finished close fourth over C&D in January, on his final run for Mike Murphy; been gelded since and he needs a close look on his return for new yard; visor goes on and tongue-tie and cheekpieces are removed. |
