10th 9 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level. |
40/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
On a long losing run and he ended 2025 below par in 5f handicaps at Hamilton and Haydock last autumn; needs to hit the ground running after eight months off. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 3-7 over C&D when justifying favouritism with a narrow win in February; no joy in two turf runs this season and has wide draw back on Tapeta but she's now only 1lb higher than for her last success; Hollie Doyle is booked; contender if she can get back near best. |
8/1 |
|
12th 12 (7) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole turf win came in a 6f novice in 2023; has won five AW handicaps at 6f-7f since but her grass form over the last two seasons has been middling and needs improvement; Colin Keane has first ride for yard. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won her novice over C&D but her five subsequent handicap wins have been on AW, the latest at Wolverhampton when last seen in February; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls here on May 12 (12-1 at the time of withdrawal); |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who retains some gusto and won from the front at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July; however, his last two efforts have been well below par and he could be vulnerable to younger legs. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (2) |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in good form on AW; some solid efforts back on turf this year without suggesting he had much in hand of his mark; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
His year started well when bustling up Saturday's Epsom "Dash" winner at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in April but his two runs last month didn't come close and he has the widest stall. |

9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

9st 13lb |
Won over 6f at Naas last summer and fair fourth over 5f at the same venue on his penultimate start; looked ill at ease on the bend at Listowel last Sunday; not a big price on his last three starts; cheekpieces on now instead of usual tongue-tie. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who never featured in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |

8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Slow-starting veteran who is having his 100th outing this evening; he has won 14 times already and his latest Newcastle fourth was a solid effort; should go well again. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |
13/8 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February and ran his best race since when fourth of seven at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; not out of this. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Inconsistent on the AW this year, aside from winning in February and without a win on turf since 2023; his recent third at Lingfield (soft) was quite remote. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three of his six wins have been over C&D but last one was back in March 2024; has been out of sorts on his last two starts. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
His handicap mark has bottomed out and there have been more encouraging signs on his last two starts, second in a 0-50 classified over C&D 15 days ago; more required today. |
14/1 |
