18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Seen only twice this term, finishing second at Catterick then posting a lesser effort at Newcastle; still has something to prove on AW. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f turf handicaps last July; encouraging return from a 294-day break at Catterick in August and this stiffer test at the trip should suit; still to prove her effectiveness on AW. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two in a row last July, at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) and Redcar (6f, good) before finishing second of ten here (6f, soft) in October; has been off since failing to beat a rival home at Newcastle (7f, AW) 294 days ago and this return to 5f isn't sure to be a positive. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has course form at 5f; losing run goes back to Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 and he's been through troubled times since, despite taking a healthy slide down the weights; risky. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be winning races off his reduced mark and the return to 6f looks a good move judged on recent efforts; four of his 12 wins have come over C&D; high on the list. |

2nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) in May and has continued in good nick, third of 12 there (6f) last time; this C&D scorer needs considering. |

0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |

10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to firm); not been in quite such good form this time, but is on a good mark as a result; wide draw not ideal. |
9/2 |

7th 8 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not quite in top form this term, beaten favourite at Thirsk most recently; went close over C&D last autumn but her ideal level is Class 6, as a record of 0-18 in higher grades reflects. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope. |

9st 12lb |
Game effort to win a 5f handicap at Thirsk (good ground) last month; dropped away having made the running at Newcastle 13 days ago; has run well at Carlisle before but over 5f and this test might be stiffer than ideal. |

6f win here last season; best effort this year came over C&D but she wasn't able to build on it last time and there is other pace to contend with in this field. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has generally struggled since her Ripon win (6f, good) last September but she showed signs of a revival when third there (5f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if she can build on that but she's drawn out wide here and could have competition for the lead. |
12/1 |

Resumed winning ways at Catterick (5f) in May but he was well below par when eighth of 12 over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D scorer is the sort to bounce back though; blinkers refitted. |
