9st 9lb |
Well backed when making a winning stable debut at Bath in April (5f, good to firm); only midfield at Southwell five weeks ago but returning to turf can help and the Bath win did promise better. |

27th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Enthusiastic sprinter; heavily backed on stable debut at Bath three weeks ago (5f, good to firm) and overcame a tardy start to win decisively; the handicapper hasn't missed him with a 6lb rise but the way he travelled through that Bath contest offers hope of better; previous AW efforts lag behind his turf best but that could just be coincidence (sire has a higher strike-rate on AW than turf); strong claims. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
On a hat-trick after wins at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and Goodwood (7f, good) last month; raised 6lb to a clear career-high mark but that was only her second attempt at 7f, so there could be more to come from her at the trip. |

Justified favouritism at Windsor (good to firm) last time, taking record to 3-19; campaigned mostly over 6f but has often shaped as if this return to 7f is worth exploring; enters calculations. |

Multiple winner on turf and AW; on the same mark as his latest win (6f) in February but his last turf success was nearly two years ago and this is his first course run. |

Won three 6f Tapeta handicaps early in the year and he's held his form since, not far behind Drama at Southwell and only beaten 2l back on turf 16 days ago; suspicion a few might prove better treated. |

Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

31st May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Over two years since his last win but he's slipped down the weights and drops into Class 5 company with a promising apprentice booked; effective on good to firm but slower ground probably optimal. |

Nearly two years since his last win; well treated on last season's best and his reappearance here three weeks ago wasn't without hope; the continued absence of headgear is a negative though. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has claims on her clearcut win off 6lb lower at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in August but she then ran poorly over the same C&D three weeks later; easier ground was blamed but she does have form on soft. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The drop back to 6f and addition of a tongue-tie saw her resume winning ways in a Class 5 fillies' handicap here three weeks ago; still low mileage but she'll need to improve again to defy her 6lb rise against males. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and soft ground; 0-4 since her debut win at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but she's finished third in two of her three handicaps and shaped as though this drop back in trip would suit at Catterick (7f) last time; has hung at times but she still has potential and is respected with a tongue-tie added. |

Said to have hung left the only time he's tackled soft ground, so doubt he'd want too much rain; was rated 27lb higher less than a year ago, which shows how things have been going, and wind surgery will need to have helped. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
19-race maiden who's been expensive to follow on AW (mostly at 7f) this winter and was again prominent in the market when ninth of 11 at Wolverhampton on his return this month; probably not the percentage call back up to 1m on turf. |
