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 |
|
7 (6) |
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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She has run well in the face of some stiff tasks this season but her form has dipped on her last two starts and this looks too demanding. |
50/1 |
|
9th 1 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in January and two creditable efforts in Listed events at Pontefract this summer, but she looks on a tough mark now and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; down the list. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Regularly makes the frame and she ran up to her best when third in Listed race at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; this is tougher but she still has each-way possibilities. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for Simon Dow when making all in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in August; not so good twice since and stamina for 7f is unproven. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all and just holding on at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; couldn't build on it back there 13 days ago and may be better suited by that extra furlong now. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made all and prevailed narrowly over C&D last time, opening his AW account at the 14th attempt; back up 3lb but has defied higher marks on turf; likely to remain competitive. |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds. |
33/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had a brief consistent spell that was initiated by Redcar success but his form has dipped sharply in last two starts; yet to win beyond 7f. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time winner whose last success came over this C&D (good; possibly flattered by racing in a small breakaway group) in June; only 2lb higher but he stopped abruptly over a mile last time; may do better back at 7f. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |
4/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came at Newmarket (6f, good) in August 2024; also posted a couple of decent placed efforts last August but ended 2025 on a low note and off for ten months ahead of this reappearance; a watching brief is the percentage call. |
25/1 |
|
3 (7) |
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. |
