18th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took well to the application of tongue-tie/cheekpieces, drop in distance and switch to handicap level at Leicester (6f, heavy) last week; has to overcome a penalty (1lb lower in future) but could well build on that success; shortlisted. |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All runs over 7f; made the frame on AW debut but well beaten since then, latterly here on soft ground; dropped in trip for nursery debut and with headgear added, so comes with risks. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Good third in 6f Leicester nursery in October but he's not come close to that form since and was out the back on recent stable debut at Southwell (5f); record now 0-9 and has plenty to prove on his step up to this trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

No improvement for the step up to a mile at Chelmsford two weeks ago (behind Majestic Heights) but she did run into some traffic and did enough to think she stayed; others are still more appealing for win purposes though. |

Peak effort came here on her nursery debut (6f) last September; not disgraced in three subsequent starts but looks in need of a favour from the handicapper before winning. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference. |
10/1 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive. |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took a forward step in the new blinkers when narrowly beaten by a fellow nursery newcomer over 7f at Newcastle (AW) where the third was some 3l back; should cope with the 6f okay but he did run poorly in his previous encounter with soft ground. |
11/4 |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Beaten a long way in three starts over 6f/7f on turf, but he may show more now switched to a nursery with blinkers applied; stable has a 28% strike-rate here in past five seasons. |

Kept on quite well for fifth on nursery debut here (7f, good to soft) and 1m was perhaps too far last time; unraced on ground this slow and 6f is another doubt, but she has a race in her off this sort of mark. |
