1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; she missed two runs on account of the ground (good to firm) last month; tongue-tie now added; looks on a handy mark. |

1,500,000gns purchase who hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, being 0-4; however, gelded prior to running well in handicap here (7f) the final time; now goes in cheekpieces; may have a race of this nature in him. |

Has made the frame on all three starts (6f/7f, good to firm/good); improvement needed on nursery debut but he's been gelded since last time which could unlock the potential in his pedigree (cost 1,500,000gns); respected. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Now 5lb lower than when placed in 7f Newmarket nursery for Ralph Beckett in the autumn but that was on soft ground and he is yet to strike form after two runs for new stable this year; eased in grade here; still needs to up his game. |
10/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Generally kept to softer ground by Ralph Beckett last year and was turned over at odds-on in one start on good to firm; off four months since an ordinary debut for his new, in-form yard (which picked him up for 22,000gns) in a Polytrack maiden; market useful. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won nursery here last October (6f, soft) on sole previous course visit and he's run some good races in defeat for his new yard this season, including on good ground and when fourth of 13 at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, soft; showed pace); each-way contender now back down in trip. |

9st 3lb |
In top hands and returned to form with fair fifth of eight in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft) recently on second nursery start; however, he needs to raise his game if he's to get off the mark today; a first-time visor replaces the blinkers (has now worn new headgear on each of last three runs). |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Stablemate of Attack; has failed to build on debut promise but soft ground was a possible excuse last time (wore cheekpieces); chance partly depends on how well he responds to a headgear switch (now wears blinkers). |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this. |
11/2 |

2nd 12 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Regressed for William Haggas before sold last summer; the handicapper is easing off so he should be easy enough to place in due course but he's done a lot of his racing over 7f and now returns from an absence; Novello Lad looks his trainer's best shout. |
16/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing sequence but he's made a positive start for his current handler, sixth of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap 19 days ago; one for the shortlist eased 2lb here. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent maiden who'll find this easier than the handicaps she's contested previously; had plenty of chances now but is fine on Tapeta and is one to consider for a yard also responsible for Perfect Price. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden who was down the field at Musselburgh (7f, good) 18 days ago but that may have come too soon, just two days after her close fourth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, good); stays 7f and might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
0-7; returning from five months off and having her first start since wind surgery when fourth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, good) on Friday; each-way claims if building on that. |

9st 4lb |
Runner-up on debut at Haydock (6f, good) in July before two lesser runs at Newbury (6f, good); however, a case can be made on her initial form and she's one to watch in the betting now in blinkers on nursery debut. |
16/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Belied 66-1 odds when promising fourth on debut on the other Newmarket course (7f, good); wears a first-time hood on nursery debut and a market check is advised, but she needs to bounce back from two lesser runs. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 15 races; second career win when prevailing narrowly over C&D in September and following efforts weren't too shoddy; still on a competitive mark but he does lack a recent run. |
