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 |
|
8 (6) |
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. |

3rd 9 (13) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; recorded the latest of his nine wins when taking Hamilton handicap (5f, soft) in September 2024; now 23lb lower but was only sixth of ten back at that track last Friday; career-low mark and any rain would be welcome. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has won nine races, two over C&D (good to soft/soft); 3.5l second to Tanjen over C&D last time but meets her on the same terms, so may struggle to turn that form around. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Without a success since September 2024 but that did come over this C&D off a 22lb higher mark; faded into seventh of 11 here ten days ago but it would be no surprise to see him go well. |

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over C&D but her five subsequent handicap wins have been on AW, the latest at Wolverhampton when last seen in February; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls here on May 12 (12-1 at the time of withdrawal); |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) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
8th 21 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Stayed on from well off the pace to take third in a 0-80 over C&D a fortnight ago; this is tougher but likely to give another good account. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Possibly a bit high in the ratings now after a 6f Curragh win on his penultimate start; finished behind Bold Optimist and Cashel Blue in a large-field 6f event at the Curragh 11 days ago. |
10/1 |
|
19th 2 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Regained the winning thread over C&D two weeks ago when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; has gone up 6lb but rider's 7lb claim negates that; should give another good account. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
AW winner got off the mark on turf at Naas this time last year (6f, good to yielding) off 5lb lower; ran his best race this term when a 2l third of ten back at Naas last time (6f, good); new headgear combination tried; hasn't run too badly at this track in the past. |

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. |
20/1 |

8th 6 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D). |

|
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 |
