Scored at Yarmouth (11.5f) in October and is knocking on the door again, runner-up over C&D nine days ago; he can go well again off an unchanged mark. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August when the now-regular cheekpieces first went on; she's fired only once (last September) from her four subsequent starts, however. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won back-to-back at Lingfield last August (2m/1m5f; good) after the cheekpieces went on but the last of those wins was by 12l and she's struggled since, presumably because of her new mark; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Second on soft last October; cheekpieces going on in August saw two easy wins on good ground at Lingfield (2m/1m5f); raced too freely at Goodwood next time but resumed her progress when third of eight here (1m4f, good to soft) five weeks ago; respected on her upward curve. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required. |
12/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble. |

30th May 2025 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made it 0-10 when tailed off on stable debut at Newcastle last December, and off since; however, she's well treated on last year's best form for Hughie Morrison and shouldn't be written off back from a break. |

Nine-race maiden; has left the care of Hughie Morrison for 1,000gns since finishing fourth of eight at Yarmouth (1m3.5f, soft) in October; career-low mark for return to AW; best to monitor for the time being. |

Nine wins over the years, including two early last summer, but he's been going the wrong way this term; admittedly badly hampered on latest outing; 6lb below his last winning mark. |

Achieved her first placing when third of seven at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) on her penultimate start, but still finished 14l behind the winner; now 0-18; look elsewhere. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Looked as good as ever when keeping on well for narrow win at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March but his latest AW run was disappointing and his turf strike-rate is modest (1-15); others preferred. |

0-14 but placed a few times and wasn't beaten too far in 1m4f races at Wolverhampton before a lesser run there last time after getting bumped at the start; could have a part to play. |

0-13 but has made the frame in five of her six starts this year, finishing close behind Two Plus Two and Douglas Dc over C&D early last month and third of nine (just behind Walk The Moon) in a 0-50 classified event back here 12 days later (met trouble); frame material again. |
