4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |
6/1 |

3rd 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran on well to win a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago (6f, soft); that race had rather an end-of-season feel to it but the Topspeed figure was good and a 3lb rise looks fair; interesting on first AW start since October 2018. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her last four wins have been at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last June; mixed results in three runs this year but she had traffic issues last time and was placed here (6f) on her penultimate run; in the mix. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |
|
1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times on good to soft/soft in 2024, the first of them coming over C&D; not at her best for a while now though and she wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Tapeta winner at Southwell (6f) in early 2023 but she hasn't regained her best form since back from an absence and was well held on the return to Southwell last week. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove. |
33/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins have come over 5f including here (good) in August; stays this far and handles soft ground but remains 4lb higher than for that latest success so a bit more is needed; stable also runs Canaria Queen. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Three wins and a second from nine visits to Redcar; looked as though the run would bring him on when in midfield at Thirsk 19 days ago; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he also didn't prove the easiest to catch right; needs to hit the ground running after 165 days off. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (4) |
28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f. |
