7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Eyecatching debut here over 7f (good to firm) and then justified a shade of odds-on with no bother at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy); faces a different calibre of opposition here but it's been an encouraging start. |

1st 5 (4) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a well-connected mare and overcame clear inexperience when staying on from the rear for third on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; ought to be more streetwise here and could be hard to beat. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two respectable efforts in 1m handicaps this year but his finishing has been suspect when attempting this far, finishing last on both occasions; has plenty to prove for now. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

6th 2 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

5th 12 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; cheekpieces worn when well beaten behind some of these rivals at the Curragh (6f, good) have been abandoned. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Has run four times and her win at Haydock (6f, soft) in May on second outing stands out; on a fair opening mark on that form but needs to leave her last two performances well behind. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on well to win Haydock maiden (6f, soft) quite comfortably in May, her second start, and her subsequent lesser effort from a wide draw on Kempton (AW; raced wide) is not viewed too harshly; upped in trip and fitted with tongue-tie for this turf return; a player if back on song. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who's well suited by a stiff 1m2f, winning twice last summer and going close over C&D in the autumn off tonight's mark; soon gave way once headed on her recent AW comeback from eight months off and needs to improve a lot on that. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice made all on turf (1m2f, good) last July but has been off for eight months and was well held in one previous go on the AW (Tapeta), while she remains 8lb above her last winning mark; market useful; stable also runs Crystal Mariner. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all in good style at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); creditable third over C&D (good to soft) last month and better still when beaten a head at Salisbury (1m2f, good) latest; her two runs on soft/heavy were offputting, albeit last season. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice last summer (including over C&D) and comes here on the back of a solid fifth in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |
