5th 10 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a lengthy losing sequence but she has made a good start for her new yard, third in 6f York handicap before racing on unfavoured side when midfield over C&D 17 days ago; can go well off a 2lb lower mark. |
25/1 |
|
12th 19 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Low-key stable debut at York last month but she fared much better when third of 21 back there 13 days later; runs off the same mark today and she's not out of it. |
10/1 |

3rd 18 (6) |

20th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Promise at an ordinary level on first three starts but well beaten both starts in handicaps and best watched after near four-month break. |

23rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Lingfield and Chelmsford early in 2026 but she's failed to beat a rival in her last three starts, back on turf at Brighton last time; hard to warm to. |
20/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
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 |

9th 5 (9) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

4th 5 (8) |
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. |

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 |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
10/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-5 over C&D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers. |

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. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

1-23, the win coming in a nursery here (6f) at the end of 2024; will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to double his tally. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win was in December 2024 but that was over C&D; finished down the field in three runs for current yard but the saddle slipped at Brighton (7f, good) last time and he was only beaten around 2l; could go well on this drop back in trip and he's not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
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. |
