25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Likes testing ground as he showed when winning nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) a year ago; has run with credit a couple of times in a light campaign this year, but still 4lb above his last winning mark; probably needs the new visor to make a difference. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent-racer who won nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) last September; got back near best with close fourth at Chester (7.6f, good) in May but he failed to beat a rival at Haydock last time; has been up and down since last success and he comes with risks attached after a break. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins have been at Kempton and latest was over C&D last June; now 1lb lower than for that success but he's been up and down since and was quiet on his reappearance here in May; comes with risks attached. |
14/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from nine Kempton starts, including over C&D last spring on his comeback; returns from five months off close to his last successful mark and there are positives, with the usual headgear in place. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on. |
6/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but is well treated on his best form and drops into a 0-70 for the first time; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Showed best form in turf events in 2024; poor efforts this winter, taking AW record to 0-5; enough to prove. |
20/1 |
|

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7.5f turf winner who is hard to recommend on anything she has produced since the start of last year; visor goes on. |
12/1 |

13th 6 (13) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Beverley fillies' maiden winner (7.5f, good to firm; 8-1) in August 2024; could strip fitter for recent Newcastle run (1m; last of six) which came after 166 days off; easing mark, plus the presence of a 7lb claimer, means she merits a market check. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Dual handicap winner on testing ground last year who has been trying her hand at Listed level this season; far from disgraced on occasions but a minor role may be the best she can hope for. |
20/1 |

9th 8 (7) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
2yo campaign concluded with two emphatic nursery wins (heavy/soft) and she's produced fair efforts in Listed races on her last three starts (1m2f-1m4f, good-soft); however, others have stronger form. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025, including here (7.5f, good) at this meeting; also went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) off 2lb higher in July; yet to get going this term but he's too well treated to ignore; first attempt at this trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |

Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025 (up to about 1m; good) and showed this mark wasn't beyond him when going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) last July; should come on for his recent reappearance and have a say with cheekpieces back on. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Clear promise in first three runs but his form slumped in a heavy-ground novice at Chester (6f) two weeks ago; that was after a break but he was beaten 18l and has some questions to answer now upped to 7f on nursery debut; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |
16/1 |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |

Ran to a similar level in three runs in May, including at this track; slower ground an unknown as he returns from a 116-day absence and connections now turn to cheekpieces. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

9th 4 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to justify favouritism over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return. |
5/1 |
|
5th 13 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good) last spring and he doubled his tally when justifying favouritism at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; that was a narrow success but he's only 3lb higher and is respected after another break. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |
7/2 |
