9th 5 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won her first five handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) last May/June and campaign concluded with close second of three to a progressive filly at Hamilton (1m1f) in August; no surprise to see a bold bid on her return, provided conditions suit (unproven on slow ground). |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won her first five handicaps (8.6f-1m2f, including on good/firm) before close third of four here (1m3f, good) when outstayed; below par at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last month but that was her first run on slow ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now back on better ground. |
3/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won four in a row once sent handicapping and maybe a steady pace was not ideal when close third of four at Hamilton (1m3f) latest outing; she's the one who set it (made the running on last four starts) and she needs to resume improvement in this step up from Class 5; unraced on softer than good. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (19 starts) was over 1m2f at Ffos Las last June; has the same mark today, having finished no better than sixth in his four races since, two of them this season; raced freely when behind here on his only attempt beyond 1m4f (1m5f last September) so there are enough doubts. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He's on a handy mark on his form last June/July, when winning over C&D, and a market check is advised on his reappearance; however, he went off the boil last autumn and returns minus cheekpieces (worn when winning). |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
C&D win in first-time cheekpieces off 5lb lower in June has been boosted by those behind since; latest effort, over further on heavy ground, is probably best ignored and he's one to consider for a yard among the winners over jumps of late. |
6/1 |
|
9 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Record since wearing cheekpieces comprises an account-opening win at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) and two placed efforts, close third at Nottingham latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Progressive sort who's scored twice this term and ran well again at Windsor (11.5f, good) 18 days ago; steps out of his grade but this trip might unlock more and he's a likeable sort who threatens to give the classier types a proper workout. |
7/1 |

12 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on softer than good; ran well at Newbury (1m4f) most recently, taking record this season to 3431132; that consistency makes him one to consider. |
13/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Progressing and going up in trip has helped; front-running win when 4-6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in June and he saw off a Prescott-trained hotpot to follow up at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July; close third at Chester on latest outing and may still have more to give. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |
7/1 |

5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |
12/1 |

9th 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Fair fourth in classified event here (7f, good to firm) on stable debut in June; this step back up in trip looks a positive but she's now 1-14 and still has something to prove on slow ground; mixed messages. |

0-6; well beaten on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (first-time tongue-tie and blinkers); posted slightly better efforts in two starts since stepping up in trip (9.4f/1m2f) with cheekpieces added but more is required. |

Showed little in her five races for Darryll Holland, the last two of which were handicaps in the spring; has tried cheekpieces and blinkers (latest start) once each, and now it's a visor for new connections; her new trainer has turned a fair few around before, mind you. |

Showed little in three starts last year (7f/1m) and she failed to beat a rival home on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) last month; first-time blinkers need to make the difference now stepping up in trip. |
