1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Firm-ground winner as 2yo; ended 2025 with a 7f win on Kempton AW in December (first-time cheekpieces) but slowly away and well held in two of last three starts; respectable effort at Ripon in between but others look more likely; yard won two of the last five runnings. |
25/1 |

10th 13 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him win a C&D handicap (Metaverse second) in December off a 1lb higher mark; not at the same level in a pair of competitive 6f handicaps this summer (gelded prior to the first of them); needs a full revival. |
12/1 |

11th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended. |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

prominent, pressed leader after 1f, nudged along to lead over 1f out, hung left inside final 110yds, kept on |

2nd 1 (9) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Twice runner-up here in summer and got off the mark at fifth attempt in first-time cheekpieces in Catterick maiden last month (5f, good; unraced on softer); makes nursery debut and could have more to offer in the headgear. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in her first three starts before a respectable fourth behind a useful prospect who made all at Lingfield (good to firm) last time; hasn't really progressed but she sets the standard on her best form and is respected with cheekpieces added. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |

8th 1 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced; his second run back from a long absence was quite encouraging (over 5f on good to firm) but not his latest when perhaps the fitting of a hood backfired; worryingly poor in his only race on soft ground. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; second run back after 21-month absence when a good third of six in 5f Leicester handicap last month; well in the mix eased 1lb with a hood added. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two bits of modest form in his five races; last of 11 when 40-1 for last month's handicap debut (6f, soft) seemed to confirm that there are more solid options but, in fairness, it was his first race for 640 days. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took a while to open her account but is a dual 5f course winner this year; also suited by 6f but current mark demands a career-best effort and some of her 3yo rivals have more potential. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Third over 7f at Chepstow before outpaced over 6f; has run well over C&D in the past but not the percentage call. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Peak form is over longer trips and it was over 7f when she placed at Chepstow last time; dropping back to 6f might not matter too much on this ground, however, and she's a winner on soft. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not disgraced when fourth of eight at Ffos Las (7f, good) last time and although 1lb out of the weights, is still 2lb lower than when gaining her sole success over C&D (soft; first-time cheekpieces) a year ago; worth a second look. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Again hung left when winning a small-field Polytrack handicap in February; absent for four months since a poor effort off this mark at Chelmsford and goes in a first-time tongue-tie here (had a wind op last autumn). |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
8th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Going the right way and made his handicap debut a winning one in four-runner race at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) last month, quickening to lead last 100 yards; open to further improvement and should go well again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
2nd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form figures of 753 reflect that he's moving steadily in the right direction; hung left the last twice, perhaps still green; interesting handicap debutant, with another step forward possible. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only 1lb lower when winning over 9.4f here in March; hasn't offered a lot since then but clearly capable if rediscovering his touch. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark (eighth attempt) when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, AW) in March but he's not come close to that form in three runs since; has something to prove back on turf and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
8th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three qualifying runs on turf, when finishing last at around 6f; off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) in March and was making inroads from the rear when nearly coming down over that C&D last time; switches back to turf and it would be no surprise if he leaves previous efforts on this surface well behind. |
