14th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
The winner of two races (2023/2024) and is bred to gain further success, being related to a few multiple winners for her yard; disappointing last time but now drops back in grade and remains of interest. |

18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Excellent spell earlier, the win coming at Ascot in July (1m, good to soft); looked as though a step up in trip would work when coming from behind to finish third over C&D (good) next time but she faded in a valuable York race (extended 1m2f) last month; interesting with sights lowered. |
6/1 |

12th 17 (13) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Stayed on for third of 18 here (7f, good to soft) in May and had more in hand than the neck winning margin suggested at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month; kept on for good third at Sandown (1m, good) a fortnight ago and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement; half-sister to stable's Group 1 winner Dreamloper who improved with age; unraced on fast ground. |

Dual Salisbury winner at 7f and 1m; interesting that powerful connections have kept hold of this lightly raced 5yo and his return from an absence was encouraging. |

1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
All six AW starts since joining this yard have come over 1m on the Kempton Polytrack, winning two of them the latest of which was from 3lb lower in May; beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month and each-way claims if able to repeat that form on this surface. |

2-5 over C&D since joining this yard (both wins under Luke Catton), his latest success coming in a slightly stronger contest last month; no match for an easy winner at Goodwood (1m, good) 19 days ago, but that was still a good effort and he's much respected back here. |

C&D winner but he arrives well below par, beating only one in 1m Kempton AW handicap 29 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |

10th 4 (11) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two AW wins this year, one over C&D, and he ran well for a close fourth at Ascot on his penultimate start; poorly drawn when disappointing at Goodwood 11 days ago and he's stuck out wide here too. |
10/1 |
|
9th 14 (16) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won over 1m on Polytrack in April and June; ran on well for a close fourth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, which is easily the best of his three turf appearances this year and needs respect, but he'd have more to prove on good to firm. |

C&D win for Michael Bell 12 months ago came off a 3lb higher mark; his two best runs for his new yard came over C&D too and when fifth at Ascot last time he was away from the main action; good claims. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (1m-1m2f) but his last success was over 2m on AW last March; on dangerous mark but he's returned from a lengthy absence with two low-key runs this summer including over C&D; bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (11) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner who has dropped 2lb lower then last successful and has twice won off the back of an absence; however, he didn't show enough back from 313 days off at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month to be of immediate interest. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

Racked up 13 wins in a superb career; unable to repeat last year's Ascot win in the same race this month but she'd been in good form for Oliver Searle previously and some of her best turf efforts have come over C&D, including a win; weighted to be involved. |

Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |

9st 4lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m who scored for the ninth time when landing a not dissimilar event over C&D three weeks ago; has never won off a mark this high but seems to be getting quicker as she ages and has gone back-to-back before. |
11/2 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple wins include one over 7f on the Rowley course and she's also finished close up over 6f there; needs more than she's been showing of late though and this is her first run on the July course. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner. |
