Gained most recent win over C&D last August when with Stuart Williams; however, brings a doubt over current form, having trailed home last (eased once held) in big field at York on stable/seasonal debut. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time AW scorer who holds weak claims on her two efforts since joining new yard and returned to turf, last of five at Catterick (5f) latest; 0-8 in this sphere; others preferred. |
14/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Jack Jones (bought for 3,600gns in April); all three wins have been on AW; fair run on stable debut when seventh over 6f at Thirsk (good); well drawn and could go well on a rare run at 5f (races mainly at 6f). |
16/1 |

Won twice for Jack Jones, both times over 6f at Wolverhampton; hung right and weakened when last in action at Southwell (5f) ten weeks ago; changed hands for 3,600gns since; best watched on stable debut. |

9st 11lb |
Progressive sort who notched a third victory of 2026 at Lingfield (5f) in June; went very freely from widest draw and did well in circumstances when fifth of 13 in 6f Windsor handicap last time; a player eased 1lb. |
11/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoying an excellent season since switching to Adam Kirby and notched a third success at Lingfield (5f) in June; nearest finish after a slow start when a good fifth of 12 in 5f York handicap last time and he's a player back up in trip now. |

Modest maiden who has finished unplaced in all 13 starts; new headgear needs to prove transformative. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Last of six off her basement handicap mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and has now been unplaced all ten starts; cheekpieces given another whirl here; improvement required. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

20-race maiden who returned from a break with two disappointing runs this summer (1m/7f), the latter in this grade in refitted cheekpieces; not yet proven over 1m; others have much stronger claims. |

5f AW winner who has yet to make the frame on turf and hasn't been threatening to of late; another tweak on the headgear front. |

7th 7 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Best efforts have come under aggressive rides over 5f on Polytrack; achieved little in three runs on turf, including in blinkers last time, and reverts to the usual cheekpieces today (first-time tongue-tie added); bit to find at the weights. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f classified event here last summer (blinkered first time); up and down since but the switch to a visor helped when second here 17 days ago (6f); worth another go at 7f. |
8/1 |
|
8 (8) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ready winner of 6f classified race on Lingfield AW in June (first-time blinkers) and she might have needed the sharpener when attempting 5f for the only time in August; overall, has work to do after minor efforts of late. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Two wins in Britain; runner up on good ground in two of last three starts for Shelley Birkett; bought for just 2,400gns in July and is unraced on slower than good; best watched on stable debut. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was out the back at Brighton last time but he finished runner-up in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
12th 7 (13) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts. |
