23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Chased home Annie Edson Taylor at Hamilton last month but two lesser efforts have followed; others hold more obvious claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick. |
8/1 |
|

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in January and was returning from an absence when beaten a nose at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago; she will need a lot more in order to figure in this company. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Mostly a hold-up mare; two wins from just five starts here feature a success over this trip (soft) two years ago and another over 6f (good to firm) last May; on her third trainer when scoring over 1m at Newcastle (AW) in January but she'll need to be better than ever to defy this mark on her first start since February; this could set up quite nicely, though. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (12) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Registered a half-length success over C&D four weeks ago on first crack at 1m and only her second AW attempt; unexposed over this trip and in this sphere; enters calculations up just 2lb. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 on AW for new stable since the autumn but took good step back in right direction when close fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month and will be suited by this return to 6f on turf; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
12 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins came on turf when trained by Hugo Palmer, the most recent at Chester in September; 0-12 on the AW but he did post a solid effort when a 1l fourth of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago; steps back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins for previous yard; 0-4 for current stable but went very close in visor over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he's in similar form with the headgear removed. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form when winning at Redcar in June (7f, good) and finished a sound third off 6lb higher at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm); down 1lb; a possible. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form with a 20-1 win at Redcar where he and runner-up Reginald Charles benefited from racing alone; did that comfortably and a 6lb rise wouldn't be too troublesome if he has turned a corner. |
5/1 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Formerly consistent and has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of his form, but heavy defeats over 1m here and at Ripon in his last two starts leave him with enough to prove. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |
9/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |
|
11 (3) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only win in 15 attempts came off 1lb higher at Newmarket in August last year (6f, good); fair efforts in a visor (on again) when in the frame on last two starts; has each-way claims. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got involved too soon in the strongly run C&D race won by Ski Angel last time; inconsistent this term but is attractively treated (last two wins off 16lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Productive 2024 campaign featured two wins over C&D; far from solid on 2025 form and is perhaps best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

Placed at Pontefract (6f) on penultimate start but failed to back up that effort in the same scenario latest, underlining his inconsistency; capable of being involved but not sure what to expect. |
