19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran no race when last of seven at a short price at Ayr last Monday and that will need forgiving; her two best efforts have come over C&D, though, and it wouldn't surprise to see her bounce back. |
5/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Minor form in maidens but she hinted at better to come when third of 14 in a Yarmouth classified (1m, soft) in June and won with something spare in a handicap back over that C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; still eligible for this level after a 3lb rise; respected. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Looked worth a crack over further when third over C&D (soft) last month but then didn't look to see out 1m2f on firm ground round Bath latest; whether she'll have the pace for this is now the question. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nicely bred and a four-time winner at 7f/1m, with three of those wins here; has a bit to prove on the stamina front but has performed respectably in two races since cheekpieces went on. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Harry Eustace last August; yet to show that form for her current handler but she wasn't disgraced with fourth of six in 7f classified event here 12 days ago; not out of things. |
10/1 |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Bettered low-key seasonal/stable debut when fourth in Brighton handicap in June but finished down the field in this grade at Lingfield (also 7f, good to firm) last month; now tries cheekpieces; not easy to predict. |

Returned to form to win at 28-1 here (1m3f) last month and backed up that performance with close second at Kempton (1m4f); key player. |

Doubled her tally when popping up at 28-1 at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta; Karismatique third, Sisterandbrother fifth) ten days ago; 4lb penalty and she's not guaranteed to confirm those placings but can still make her presence felt again. |

9st 0lb |
Won twice at around 1m on the AW early last year and, having dropped 4lb below his last winning mark, finished third of ten here (8.6f) last month; another furlong may have been preferable, though. |

Two AW wins at 1m early in 2024 but he didn't see out his one attempt beyond that sort of trip, on sand last June, and he's 5lb wrong today. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; well below best form for new stable this year but his two recent turf runs in this grade (1m/7f, good to firm) were fairly respectable, and he might be boosted by the refitted blinkers here. |
13/2 |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; out of form for new stable this year (five runs) but took step back in right direction when respectable sixth in this grade at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

Recorded his seventh AW win when scoring at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in January but that was a narrow success in a small field and he's been disappointing in three runs since; others preferred. |

Beaten a long way all starts, including when tailed off on his C&D handicap debut recently; first-time blinkers will need to have a major effect. |
