Most recent win came at 50-1 over C&D last summer; runner-up here in August but she's been well held in last three runs and losing run is now up ten; others preferred. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today. |
10/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Three wins this season, the latest over C&D (good) in July; versatile regarding ground but recent efforts suggest she's on a fairly tough mark now. |

Two-time winner on turf; unplaced in all six AW starts but there has been some promise on Tapeta at Newcastle; others more persuasive this time. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit the line strongly at Wolverhampton (5f; from 6lb lower) over three weeks ago; he's 7-39 on AW, but is yet to win on turf (0-20); handicap mark is still a fair one, particularly with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, and this is the right type of race; don't discount. |
13/2 |

1st 9 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner; two good runs here last month but he was never in the hunt back here 18 days ago; has the ability to feature but he will need luck in running from stall 1 given his racing style. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner who has ran well here behind Kento on his last two starts, most recently a close third 16 days ago; holds good claims but his hold-up style means that things need to fall right. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins came in 0-50 classified events in the summer of 2024, including one over C&D; not much to shout about over the past year, though, despite a declining mark; needs the visor to help stop the slide. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice over 5f in the summer of 2024, including at this track; ran well on her seasonal return last April but it has been downhill ever since; 6f a query too. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual classified winner on a sound surface at 5f in 2024; went close in C&D handicap (good) on her comeback last term and not much went right in that same race on her reappearance a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing when down the field in this race last year but not without a squeak this time. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner last July (good) and also won at Musselburgh last August; form tailed off towards the end of the season and now back on his last winning mark; lacks a recent run. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (9) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Ayr in July and Musselburgh in August; lesser effort followed but it was a step back in the right direction when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (also 5f, good; Brazilian Belle third) on Monday. |

Running well in defeat in Class 5 and Class 6 handicaps on last few starts; has something to find with Union Island but a good case can be made for him being best of the rest; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win and he was over 4l behind his reopposing stablemate Ifonlytheycudtalk at Beverley two weeks ago; his best efforts do bring him right into the reckoning though and he ran well in one attempt on AW this summer. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 but has run well more often than not in handicaps and he was a close third at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last Tuesday; also effective on good to soft ground; wears a first-time eyeshield; he's one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

3yo maiden; below par last time but has bits of encouraging form otherwise this summer, including close second over C&D (classified event) on penultimate run. |

Down the field last summer on final two runs for Paul Midgley and same story this spring on both outings for new yard; however, he's had wind surgery since last time and is 8lb lower than when runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last April, which came after his first wind op; tongue-tie goes on. |
