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. |

Three-time winner here for Harry Eustace, latterly off this mark over C&D last August; entitled to have come on for her recent comeback from seven months off for her new yard; each-way shout. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time winner for Harry Eustace, the latest at Brighton (7f, good) last August; not ruled out on her seasonal and stable debut (remains in same ownership) but she'll need to be at the very top of her game. |

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. |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes, the most recent coming at Chelmsford last August; 5lb lower than for that success but he's been well held in four starts since joining this stable. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Should be well handicapped but he has suffered three heavy defeats for his new yard; apprentice takes off a useful 5lb but there are risks attached at present. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Won four handicaps for Alice Haynes last year (one over C&D), latterly off this mark, despite often lugging left; not offered a lot in two runs back for his current yard and needs a revival. |

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. |

9st 2lb |
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D last summer and followed up in the same race 12 days ago; not always consistent and is no certainty to back it up, going without cheekpieces this time, but holds major claims under Billy Loughnane. |
7/4 |

Pulled up over hurdles on his reappearance last month but he's a dual Flat winner and his last success was in this race (good; 5-2 favourite) last year; yard is in good form and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |

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. |
