5th 8 (6) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |
2/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
5f AW winner for Nigel Tinkler; form went the wrong way last year and he's changed yards since his last run in August; on a reduced mark and market check advised on stable debut but he returns with something to prove. |
9/1 |
|
7 (2) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
AW winner last November; started this campaign with a couple of promising efforts but he's struggled more recently; 2lb out of the weights today and others look stronger. |
10/1 |
|
10 (7) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW. |

Came from off the pace when eyecatching fourth, amid trouble, at Newcastle (6f) on handicap debut; perhaps unsuited by change of tactics last time and may do better still. |

Unplaced in all nine Flat races and was pulled up on hurdling debut at Cartmel only recently when tried in a tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Unplaced in all eight starts (6f-1m) and his promising fifth at Newcastle (6f; November) hasn't been built on in three runs since; enough to prove back at a mile. |

Had shown ability prior to making it eighth-time lucky at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) this month; not so good back there last Friday, but it's interesting that he is back so soon and the return to this trip isn't a problem; respected. |

Placed a few times on turf/Polytrack last year, but has regressed since joining this yard and now 0-17; look elsewhere. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-16); often placed for Sean Woods but yet to threaten to click into gear for this trainer; weakened late on when last of nine at Southwell (6f; 9-1) 16 days ago. |

0-12 for Sean Woods but he's finished placed five times including when runner-up in a classified event at Yarmouth (7f, good) in August; on unchanged mark back in a handicap and has each-way claims again for new yard. |

Now 0-11 but has run okay now and again, notably when placed at Musselburgh last August (1m, good); latest run needs forgiving but this is such a bad race that he can't be ruled out. |
