13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Highly progressive in handicaps and 2-2 in such races this season (7f, good to soft), doing it readily each time; this lightly raced 4yo has won five of her seven starts and could take this rise in grade in her stride. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo filly who readily beat 14 rivals at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in sole start this season, taking turf record to 4-4; looks likely to cope with an 8lb rise; goes well fresh and commands respect on return from another break, with further improvement very plausible. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won Newcastle novice (7f, AW) in March on third start and runner-up in handicaps on last two outings, beaten a neck at Newcastle (7f, AW) then keeping on well behind a progressive winner at Carlisle (6f, good to firm); the return to 7f may well be a positive and he's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (10) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo with a progressive profile; beaten neck when odds-on at Newcastle (7f) last month; usually travels strongly and should be at least as effective back at 6f; still on a workable mark and high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his novice here by 5l and looked on a workable mark for his handicap debut at Wolverhampton but he never travelled after starting slowly; wouldn't judge him on that performance and could be given another chance. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only two rivals in a 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield but coped well with the 4lb rise to finish close up at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); firmly enters the reckoning. |
5/1 |
|
4 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo won a 1m2f Newbury maiden and doubled his tally in a three-runner 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago; only 4lb higher and quite fair to factor in further improvement going forwards. |
6/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won by a head in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) in May; ran creditably on handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) next time but soundly beaten when 16-1 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; against Hot Dancer, this one probably needs overall improvement. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well when a debut 7f second on Wolverhampton AW for Ralph Beckett but failed to go on in 2025; off 15 months, offered little for new yard when beating one in 7f Newcastle AW handicap 12 days ago; not easy to make a case. |
66/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on his debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) but he failed to build on that on his next four starts for Ralph Beckett; well beaten when last seen 460 days ago and now makes his stable debut with the headgear discarded; best watched. |
50/1 |
|
8 (10) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; unable to reproduce that form since, most recently on handicap debut at Doncaster, but gelded since and that may help him tap back into his initial promise; represents top yard; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; not discounted. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |
|
1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in July off the same mark as today's; bounced back from a poor run on soft ground when third of 12 at Southwell (1m, AW) two weeks ago, but he'll need them to go a solid gallop now returning to this shorter trip. |
8/1 |

3rd 12 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

First and second in 1m turf handicaps during the height of summer but his form has dropped off. |
25/1 |

10th 2 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark at Leicester in July (1m, good to firm) and sound effort when second at Doncaster next time (1m, good to firm); not quite so good last twice; has form on good to soft, but first run on soft ground. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

17-race maiden who was well beaten at Catterick (7f, good to soft) latest; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Longstanding maiden who has often pulled hard; every chance she does again, going back up in trip following two runs in sprints in a hood, for a yard that looks to hold stronger claims with Electric Lightning. |
16/1 |
|
10th 12 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Remains a maiden after 15 starts but she ran well when third in a first-time hood in a classified at Nottingham (6f, soft) a fortnight ago; unexposed over sprint trips and in the headgear, and she's not ruled out. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m win here in June when rated 1lb higher; not beaten far here on his last two starts but he was slightly disappointing when a well-supported favourite on the second occasion. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off when upped to 1m2f at Leicester last July and absent since; however, prior to that she kept on well for fourth on her handicap debut at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in for her top yard at this sort of trip. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Beat one home on her debut but built on that in two novices in the spring and it was a respectable handicap debut when fourth of nine at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; stayed on) last time; can probably do better now upped in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1 (4) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made steady progress in her qualifying races, keeping on for fourth in Newcastle novice (7f, AW) on latest outing; moves back up in trip for this turf return; should have more improvement to come in handicaps. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September; has resumed in excellent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when beaten a short head in another 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; a likely player back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |
