17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is 3-6; this is her first crack at sprinting but she doesn't look short of gears and would have won more easily at Epsom (7f, good) recently had she not idled; 3lb higher; hooded the last twice but not today. |

sweating, swerved right start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders, switched to centre 3f out, pushed along 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, idled final 110yds, always doing enough |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
11 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointing favourite at Haydock last Saturday, extending his long losing sequence; beaten twice in this contest (seventh in 2023, well held in 2024) and can be opposed. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Unraced at two but he scored twice around this trip on turf as a 3yo; built on his Chester comeback in May with neck second of 14 in fairly valuable Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) one month ago; that wasn't far off his best and he may still be capable of better; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Winless last season but ran some promising races and did likewise when fourth on his reappearance at Chester (7f, good; Supido third), having been dropped in from a wide draw; continues to drop down the weights; chance. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two 6f wins, the second on Polytrack off a 4lb lower mark; some of his placed form since reads well and a lesser effort last time can be excused as the undulations of Epsom looked an issue; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
dwelt start, took keen hold, held up in rear, switched to centre 3f out, headway and challenging when hung left 2f out |
4/1 |
|
4th 12 (1) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent 3yo who kept on well for 3l second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained); on that latest evidence today's first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's a possible. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended long losing run when successful in a 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield in April; ran well on his next two starts and when down the field on last month's return to action at Kempton (after 11 weeks off) it was in a higher grade than this; handles testing ground and has a good amateur booked; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a competitive handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April before being placed on his next two starts, but he was tailed off over this C&D in May; a 77-day break may have done him some good and he could bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (6) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |
10/1 |
