3rd 10 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has had only one run over 5f and it was in this race in 2024 when he finished a well-beaten 2-1 favourite; quiet in a light campaign in 2025; others look stronger. |
25/1 |

12th 10 (12) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at 6f, including on heavy last October, but he hasn't been nailing it in just three runs this year and these will be tough conditions in which to prove stamina in first attempt at 7f. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2024 in top form but he has been restricted to just two runs so far in 2025 and not at his best on either occasion; the accessories return this afternoon and a revival could be forthcoming. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut. |
12/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't fire over 7f last month and has stamina to prove on this first attempt at 1m but was unlucky not to finish closer than fifth at Haydock (7f, good; denied clear run) two runs ago and has slipped to a dangerous mark. |

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 |

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. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

9yo who needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice but before those he was a creditable fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and ran well enough to think he's still in reasonable form when fifth in a higher grade than this at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
15/2 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last weekend which gives him a fighting chance here but he has a better overall record on that track than this one and remains on much the same mark as when well adrift of Trilby here in April. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft, 18-1) last September and she finished runner-up on her only other visit to Carlisle (7f maiden); not many positives to take from her last four starts, but she probably needed it at Ayr (6f, good; 33-1) off a six-month break. |

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. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run. |

6th 6 (4) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a pleasing start for Ivan Furtado when second of 20 at York last May (lower turf mark); struggled since, including back on AW on last two starts, but he steps back up to 6f with cheekpieces added; interesting. |
10/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Finished second of 20 on his stable debut/reappearance at York (6f, good) in May, but not built on it in three subsequent starts; won four times on Tapeta late last year including twice here, but they were over 6f and he hasn't raced over 5f since he was a 2yo; enough to prove; stable also runs Nazron. |

Just one win since October 2022 but that was off 6lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) last May; had just one run this season but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wetherby (5.5f) in April and has possibilities back up in trip. |

Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |
