7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner down the years; 0-6 in 2025 but ran encouragingly, albeit behind a fellow 10yo, over C&D on penultimate start; stone below last winning mark and hard to dismiss. |
12/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Very well handicapped on form as recent as last autumn and was second last time at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) behind one who always goes well there; a return to winning ways could be imminent. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving. |

took keen hold, made all, clear over 3f out, ridden when reduced lead inside final furlong, kept on |

2nd 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Comfortably completed a hat-trick in winning over C&D in September when partnered by Tom Kiely-Marshall off an 8lb lower mark; entitled to come on for his comeback race but might be high in the weights now. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who ended last season with a hat-trick of wins on sound surfaces; the last of those was a career-best at Beverley in September; he returns up 8lb but could still have more to come and needs a close look in market. |

Fast-ground C&D winner last year when 1lb lower; below par on both AW and turf since scoring at Chelmsford in March; revival needed. |

Finished out the back on AW return but may have needed that run and the form is there to feature off this mark. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Third C&D win from just four attempts came off 2lb lower in January and he was trapped wide when trailing in last over a shorter trip at this venue three weeks later; could easily bounce back if fully tuned up. |

27th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice at Southwell (7f, AW) earlier in year, but has won on turf and finished a creditable third of six at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last time; has been beaten three times off this mark though (6lb higher than when last successful) so more is needed. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner in June and she comes here in good form, a close fifth in 1m1f Hamilton handicap six days ago; she's one for the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles. |
