21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
All was looking good when making it 2-3 in a C&D novice here in April; since then he's finished last in Listed/handicap company on either side of a good run to be fifth at Newmarket in July (strong 1m2f handicap); all hope is not yet lost as it's still early days, but he now has something to prove. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Raced on good/good to firm on turf; tailed off in a 1m3f Goodwood Listed race in May but this dual novice winner got his career back on track when fifth of eight in a strong 1m2f 3yo handicap at the Newmarket July meeting; back from another two months off with Oisin Murphy doing the steering; yard also runs Molveno. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut. |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gave it a good shot from the front when second at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month and her subsequent defeat on heavy ground can be overlooked but others in this field appeal more all the same. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Lingfield novice (1m4f, AW) in April; remote second of three in Lingfield Oaks Trial (good to firm) before an underwhelming handicap debut (1m4f, good) in May; absent 12 weeks before her good second of six from the front back on Lingfield AW (1m4f) 13 days ago and could have more to give. |
9/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won C&D novice on seasonal debut in April and bettered that form when clear second at Southwell (1m4f, AW) later that month; absent since underwhelming handicap debut on turf 12 weeks ago but may benefit from this switch back to Polytrack and remains lightly raced. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) last October on second handicap start and followed up on reappearance at Southwell (2m, AW) in April; tailed off in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) since but showed signs of post-race ataxia; retains potential and could bounce back with a bold show. |
13/2 |

14th 17 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
4yo who has had just six races, on last two occasions winning well in handicaps at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) in October and Southwell (slowly run 2m, AW; gelded) four weeks ago; raised another 6lb and substantially in class, but he's probably going places and is one for the shortlist. |

Beaten 15l and more in three runs at 1m4f and 1m3f, two of them on this track; handicaps will prove more suitable but the assessor hasn't felt generous. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Posted an improved effort at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) eight days ago, making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a five-runner handicap; step back up 1f should be fine and he has solid claims under a 6lb penalty (due to be 1lb higher). |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten further than had seemed likely turning in on his Chepstow handicap debut (1m2f, good); drop of 1f and 3lb both to the good, but essentially needs the headgear to help tease out resources longer. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 16l+ in qualifying events at 1m and 1m4f but he was only 6-1 for AW reappearance (lost two shoes) and, out of a half-sister to Arc winner Marienbard, he may well improve at this level for the first time. |

28th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nicely bred filly out of a well-connected mare; just mild promise in two bumpers but she came from off the pace, after being hampered and having to be switched, to take a pleasing third to 70s-rated rivals at Kempton (1m4f) recently; open to improvement and on the premises. |

Gained a breakthrough success for her current yard over 1m5f here in January and not disgraced both runs since, third of nine in 1m6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts again eased 1lb. |

3rd 2 (2) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough on her 19th start under rules at Chelmsford (13.5f) last month when scoring by 7l; unable to match that when fourth in a classified at Wolverhampton (1m4f) eight days later but remains in form and not out of this. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
No win in her first 18 starts but she made the breakthrough when storming 7l clear in a Chelmsford handicap (1m5f) last week; now drops back to 1m4f but she hit a personal best with that success and is a major player again on this switch to a classified event. |

Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |
