11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent and genuine filly who has done better the more she's raced, adding to three 6f handicap wins (good and good to firm; one over C&D) with a feisty show in fourth on unfavourable terms in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, soft) last month; can have a big say back at 6f. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Three handicap wins this year (6f, good/good to firm) and another good run when sixth of 27 in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) last month; also effective at 7f and further improvement can't be ruled out, but it's necessary now upped in grade. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well over 1m at this meeting last year; on the up as a sprinter this term, winning three of her last four starts and actually running really well on the occasion she was beaten (unsuitably soft ground); 6lb rise for her latest Class 3 win (good Topspeed figure) is fair enough but this will be a different test from anything she's previously encountered; she is a strong traveller though and Ryan Moore takes the ride. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 14 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to win in 2025 but he ran some solid races in defeat and he makes his seasonal return off a dangerous mark; interesting to see how he fares in the betting. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran away with a 0-70 handicap over C&D in November but hit with a 10lb rise and he has come up short in eight subsequent runs; now back to his last winning mark and cheekpieces return after being left off at Southwell ten days ago; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
10th 6 (2) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Below best this year, managing only sixth of eight in refitted cheekpieces (now removed) at Newcastle (7f) a fortnight ago, but he's effective over this C&D, well drawn and too well handicapped to rule out. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who is a C&D winner and added another AW success at Southwell (7f) last July; ended 2025 with a good third back at Southwell (7f again) in October; formerly trained by Ann Duffield; claims if ready to roll after five months off. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won three times on the AW, the latest over C&D in July; scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last month, but needs to put a lacklustre effort at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month behind him, while an easy lead seems unlikely. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo form at 6f, including on this track, but has had just four runs since and he's been soundly beaten in two runs after missing the whole of 2024; already 9lb lower than the first of them but lots to prove. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a soft-ground Redcar win (6f); absent for 713 days prior to finishing tailed off in a 7f handicap at Redcar in April; that was his only run for Geoff Oldroyd and he's now back with his original trainer (and running in his colours) so presumably not felt to be a busted flush; risky but could yet bounce back. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |
20/1 |

10 (7) |
31st May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
1-18 when trained in Ireland and well held in both starts on turf since returning for this yard last month; ran well on the beach at Laytown last September, but still has enough to prove for now. |
25/1 |
