20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last September (5f, turf) but she ran creditably in better AW races than this earlier in the year and has won and gone well fresh in the past; interesting to see what another change of yard does for her; usually tongue tied but not today. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Her record at Chelmsford reads 1223; her latest third was a well-beaten one, however, and more minor money may be her best hope. |

Winning start on turf as 2yo and later won on handicap debut on AW (both 5f); lightly raced and kept to AW since, some way below best at Southwell in December (first-time cheekpieces, retained); work to do back on grass. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally at Thirsk (7f) in July and twice a runner-up since, latest in eight-runner handicap at Redcar (6f) ten days ago; this consistent type is a likely player once more off the same mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A two-time 6f/7f scorer this season; posted another solid effort with sixth of 11 in 7f Haydock handicap 15 days ago; this consistent sort must enter calculations. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
It took him a long time to win but he landed a maiden at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March and was back on the scoresheet at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last month; good second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since; solid claims. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

13-race maiden; didn't see out 7f at Musselburgh last week and this trip should be more suitable but he's not fired on all cylinders this year; others are stronger. |
20/1 |
|
5 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
3yo whose 12 starts have been over sprint trips (zero wins), the majority at 5f; however, it's still fairly early days for him with this yard and he's kept on well over 5f on his last two runs; not a forlorn hope. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he has yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, sixth of eight in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 17 days ago; others are preferred. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Made it 14th-time lucky at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) last month and followed up under a positive ride at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Monday, taking his turf record to 33211; respected despite his 5lb penalty. |
5/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Regressive on the AW earlier in the year for this yard, having missed a year, but the return to turf and drop to 0-55 company did the trick under Rossa Ryan last time; going back up 7lb will test him but he's only had a handful of starts on grass and may well be up to it. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden but he's reached the frame in sprint handicaps on AW in his last four starts; remains unexposed on turf and he could go well again off a sliding mark back in this sphere. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made most to win a 5f classified race at Chelmsford in January and she has held her form in defeat since, including over this trip; unlikely to be too far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won a similar event over 5f at Chelmsford in January; creditable runs since, last time finishing second over 6f back there after not getting the best of runs; chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways in 5f classified event here in January and not discredited after a tardy start when a running-on third of six in 5f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; she's proven over this longer trip so rates a big player back in this company. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who couldn't adopt those tactics after a wide trip on the AW last time; had resumed better than ever and off same mark as for his near miss at Windsor (5f, good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's resumed better than ever, backing up his Bath win with a Windsor near-miss off 1lb lower (inclined to hang left); might have been better drawn but can't be discounted for a yard that's won with four of its last five runners. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Made light of a five-month absence when making all in 5f handicap at Bath 35 days ago, holding on by a nose from The Thames Boatman; not taken lightly despite a 3lb rise. |

9st 11lb |
Made all from the same stall when winning off 2lb lower over C&D last autumn; not at her best during a light campaign this time and will need a career-best effort if she's to end a dry spell for her yard. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner early last season who confirmed her liking for an easy 5f when going in again at Lingfield (AW) last October; off since an ordinary comeback in the spring and may need some help from the handicapper (4lb above her last successful mark). |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call. |

19th May 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

9st 11lb |
Plenty of solid efforts in defeat to go with her three C&D wins, the last of which came off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been held a couple of times since a Bath victory in May and looks weighted to her best back from a six-week break. |
6/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not at her best in a Class 3 at Windsor last month but that was 6f and this drop back in trip should help; wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off this mark though. |

11th 8 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Consistent filly who is going from strength to strength this year, comfortably seeing off five rivals in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Bath last month; a 7lb rise in a stronger race demands another step forward. |

Notably strong in the betting given she was drawn widest on her return to action three weeks ago and she never featured having been poorly positioned throughout (finished behind three of these); stable has been quiet and others look safer. |

Nothing wrong with the form of his C&D win in March but he has struggled since, including after wind surgery in May; tongue-tie added for the first time and cheekpieces replace blinkers; not discounted. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Can make the running as when gaining his sole success at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March, but his three efforts since returning to turf have been underwhelming; 1lb lower than for his win, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Made all in a Newcastle handicap (5f, AW) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since, including after wind surgery at Pontefract two weeks ago; blinkers are now added and he has quite a bit to prove again back up in trip. |
16/1 |
