4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Moderate in just three starts since her successful handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in September last year; being a half-sister to two AW winners the main positive. |
14/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Chepstow (1m, good; handicap debut) last September; absent after flopping at Brighton the following month until she reappeared with big defeat back there one month ago; quite possibly needed that and she's not fully exposed, however; heed any market signals. |

1st 5 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 2-22 on the AW but both wins have been this year, the latest off 3lb lower over C&D in February when a well-backed favourite; has been off since so may be better for the run. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win at Southwell (1m; well backed) last month and she has run well in defeat since; stamina has to be taken on trust. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (11) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below-par favourite and unable to take advantage of good opportunity over C&D last time when ahead of the assessor; consistent otherwise for current yard but her new mark has kicked in. |

C&D winner in December off 1lb higher; patchy record this year but she's in a weak race and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrow winner of a 7f nursery at Chelmsford in December (blinkered for the first time); best effort since when second over 7f here in July (good to soft); disappointed here last week though and returns to 1m with headgear left off. |
8/1 |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Twice in the frame over C&D this summer, more recently when clear second on good to soft ground; gets another chance off the same mark and features prominently in calculations. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who made the frame but was safely held on first two starts for Ollie Sangster (1m2f/1m, turf); wore cheekpieces last time; blinkers are refitted for this AW debut; needs to find something extra. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't run badly on her stable debut at Salisbury last month without quite matching her best efforts for William Haggas; the return of headgear (new cheekpieces) can help though and she's one for the shortlist. |
2/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked. |
13/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in this grade at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) and backed it up with a solid C&D second two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of the action once again. |

9st 0lb |
Cheekpieces were on for both of his wins in the summer of 2024 but he's generally struggled in that aid since and trailed the field on three of his last four starts; newly fitted visor needs to prompt a big revival. |
