Six-race maiden who has been a weak finisher over 7f/1m since handicapping; sister to a 6f winner for her connections and looks interesting returned to this trip on classified debut. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Opened his turf account when making a winning yard debut off 7lb lower at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month; placed in two starts since, latest at that same track over this trip (ahead of Cooperation); comes here in good form and looks likely to go well again. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |

9st 0lb |
Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further. |
14/1 |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; form has nosedived since winning at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January, including when beaten nearly 15l in a similar event over C&D one month ago; can't be recommended at present. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break. |

Sole win in 7f Lingfield handicap in early 2023; minor form for this yard and although there was the glimmer of a revival over C&D on Boxing Day it wasn't enough of one to fancy him for win purposes. |

Last 11 AW starts have been on Tapeta (231115111852), but he was beaten less than a length into third of 14 on his last visit here (1m); back up 1lb for his latest second of 12 at Southwell (7f)), but still 1lb below his last winning mark; respected. |

Won six times on Tapeta (twice over C&D) in first half of 2025, despite his tendency to race too freely; back on a good mark now and bettered a low-key reappearance run when respectable fifth over C&D ten days ago but outside draw a negative today. |

11th 5 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won four handicaps over further for Alice Haynes in 2025; only 2lb higher than for his Chelmsford success when last seen 205 days ago (7f); races enthusiastically and it could be that sprinting proves even more suitable; interesting starting out for Dylan Cunha, |
