28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace in April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) in June; tongue tied first time in the latter and again on latest start when always prominent to prevail by a neck in something of a bunched finish at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); a different 5lb claimer takes over today; back up 2lb but looks an each-way player. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won two of his first four starts before missing the second half of last season; made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace this April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) on latest outing; tongue tied first time in the latter; 5lb rise sees claimer Mason Paetel recruited; leading player. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of his first four starts, including at this track on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); both runs this season have been respectable and he could take a step forward with a tongue-tie added. |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
0-11; lots of fair form, including at this venue, but her willingness to come home in front is questionable; hood removed for the first time since her debut. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

9st 2lb |
Cost 280,000euros as a yearling; there were 99 days between her first two races and now returns from a similar absence, but she chased home a good horse of Godolphin's at Kempton last time and there's nothing of that one's calibre here. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since. |

4th 5 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted. |

11th 1 (9) |

5yo who emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields at Doncaster (1m4f) in her two handicaps; showed ability at this track earlier and career began only last September, so better could still be forthcoming; this is 4f further, however. |

9st 3lb |
All three wins at 2m, the latest coming here last month on good to firm (Class 4); this is a different ball game altogether and he'd be receiving lumps of weight off most of these in a handicap. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run on his handicap debut last January but struggled since, including both runs for new trainer this year; dropped 7lb for his troubles but not easily recommended. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; best run from his seven starts came when second of 11 to The Bay Warrior over C&D last January; struggled since but he is now 6lb lower and last month's stable debut/return from ten-month absence should have sharpened him up. |
25/1 |

13th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Much better on his handicap debut, upped from 1m to 1m3f, early in the year but was said to have stopped quickly when a beaten-favourite next time; that leaves him something to prove. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Looked unlucky here in April, when getting well behind after a slow start over 1m, and his yard's in better form now than then; that's not the first time he's fluffed his lines at the stalls, though, and he can pull hard, so he comes with risks attached. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Only win was in a C&D maiden hurdle in October 2025 (good); fair second of four at Market Rasen last time (2m, good); not out of it. |

2nd 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Only 1-11 over hurdles and the win came in a maiden; however, this mark shouldn't be beyond her and she was quite free after a break when beaten 13l into third at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); has form here. |
