25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Habitual slow starter who has had major blips in two of his last three runs, but he's also won five times (1m2f-1m6f) this season including at Haydock (good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back again with Patrick Mullins booked; tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Blew the start and was tailed off at Epsom last month; has done well over middle distances otherwise this season, completing four-timer prior to a good effort at Newbury in May; still has scope for further progress but has bit to prove after that last run and this is a new trip. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well after six months off when third of five in 1m4f Leicester handicap on her return, fading only late on; a bold showing is on the cards eased 1lb here. |
11/4 |

3rd 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
The only maiden in this field but has low mileage and appears capable of winning an ordinary handicap, having finished a clear second upped to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) when last seen; possibilities off same mark. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on this surface but his sole win came over 1m3f at Carlisle in 2023 and mostly campaigned at that trip and further since; major query back at 1m for first time in the best part of three years. |
16/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only win was over 1m3f at Carlisle in July 2023 (good to soft); several decent placed efforts this season, and would have a chance on that form, but rather disappointing on last two starts. |
20/1 |

10th 14 (14) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in four of his last six starts including a close call over C&D (soft) in July; on same mark here but he didn't fire at Ayr last time and that took his record to 1-21; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won in good style on last season's reappearance outing (1m2f, good) but was not in the same form on any of her five subsequent runs last year and was safely held when back in action in April; off for another 75 days since and not yet proven over this far; needs to get career back on track. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since two below-par turf runs in September but an emphatic winner when fresh last April and begins her new campaign from a workable mark; placed on only AW start (in Tapeta in 2024); no surprise if she features. |
8/1 |
|
6 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Quickened clear to score by over 3l on seasonal debut at Leicester (1m2f, good) in April; yet to build on that performance in four subsequent starts and it was a modest effort when beating one home at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago. |
