18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |

Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

Both wins have been over 1m at Yarmouth and latest was in August 2022; reached the frame a few times since November but she's been well held over 7f in last two starts; new headgear is now tried but she's not run over this trip for a long time and others are are preferred. |

Won four times on Flat AW; always behind before being pulled up on hurdles debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft; 80-1); best watched. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time AW winner, always in low-grade handicaps at around 1m; struggled when upped to 1m4f for recent stable debut and looks too risky on this first start over hurdles. |

Settled better when splitting Available Angel and Red Evelyn over C&D three weeks ago; that was much his best effort on turf and gave something to build on. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Free-going gelding who's lost his way and still to run well on turf; 1m2f looked beyond him last time but he has something to prove. |

6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April but two disappointing turf runs have followed, and his tendency to race too freely is a worry over this new trip; cheekpieces/tongue-tie removed after one use. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple AW winner who was a respectable fourth in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last time, but that took her turf record to 0-12 and she still has stamina to prove at this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks consistency on turf but goes well here and did better on her second run back from an absence behind two of these over C&D last time; is better off with both tonight, which brings her into the equation. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has run well on turf but her wins have come on the AW; ran poorly on her comeback from eight months off eight weeks ago (pulled hard after the blindfold was slow to come off for the second race on the spin) and has something to prove after that. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Modest form since returning this year after wind surgery and her latest third behind Heer's Sadie here (7f, good to firm) last month needs building on; first-time cheekpieces worn that day quickly discarded. |

3rd 3 (1) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW winner; had wind surgery prior to her reappearance at Southwell in April, when down the field; marginally better effort here (1m, good to soft) latest; drops back in trip with cheekpieces now fitted; revival needed. |
7/1 |
|
4 (6) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win came on AW; her two turf runs don't feature among her better efforts but she was sent off favourite in a first-time tongue tie when sixth to United Force over C&D in July, after which she had wind surgery; might have needed her latest outing when sixth at Southwell (1m; United Force third) after 274 days away. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times last year (all 1m), including when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth on first start for Michael Wigham; mixed fortunes lately and has work to do with Coloane from Pontefract in July, so it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Three-time winner last season, including over C&D, who's generally struggled this time; is among the lowest rated and could have done with some rain ideally. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Raced exclusively over 1m2f this year and has come 9lb down the weights; has hung left more than once and first-time headgear will need to prove the answer if she's to make it 12th time lucky. |

8st 10lb |
Yet to fire this year and has a bit to find with Bohemian Breeze on their meeting here three weeks ago, but he is 12lb lower than when completing a hat-trick around this time last year (first two legs came over C&D); worth a second look. |

Landed a hat-trick around this time last year, two of the wins coming over C&D including this race off 4lb higher; needs to improve plenty on recent efforts if he is to exploit this mark, though. |
