2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this season (6f/5f, good/good to soft), including here, and when fourth of five here (6f, good) recently he wasn't beaten far following an awkward start; major player if the stalls break isn't an issue this time. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April and he got back on the scoresheet when rallying well for a clearcut success at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last week; 5lb higher here but this return to fast ground is no problem and he's respected back up in trip. |

Effective at 5f/6f on turf and AW; easy winner at Nottingham in April (6f, good) for which he went back up 8lb; not so good on AW next time but has a chance back on turf. |

1st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Exposed but had been admirably consistent in novice/handicaps until finishing well beaten in a Listed race at Ayr (5f, good), as odds of 66-1 suggested she might; again up against it kept at the same level. |

Admirably consistent; endured a torrid run when second in a 6f Goodwood nursery most recently but she was competing off 78 and this represents a big rise in class. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Better than ever this season and she went 2-3 for the campaign in 11-runner handicap over C&D 11 days ago; showed a good attitude there so merits serious consideration nudged up 2lb. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Built on her reappearance when beating her five rivals at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago; won a maiden on good to soft in 2024 and has claims back up 5lb. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-3 at Catterick, fending off Lucius Aurelius there (5f, good to firm; from 4lb higher) in April 2025; 0-8 since but did take a step back in the right direction when third to Betweenthesticks on seasonal reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good; 9-2) four weeks ago; possible player. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Winner at Newcastle last November, but disappointing since; blinkers now tried (well beaten in a visor last time); plenty to prove at present. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

Promise at an ordinary level on first three starts but well beaten both starts in handicaps and best watched after near four-month break. |

23rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Close second on debut at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last month; unable to reproduce that promise on her two runs since but she's not ruled out on this nursery debut. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Her form has been very up and down in her six-race career (unraced on slow ground) but she won in good style on her nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) in July and wasn't beaten far when Listed seventh at Newbury (5f, good) last time; not ruled out now back in a handicap. |
