22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (5f) in February, but she was off for ten weeks before beating only one in 5f handicap at Ascot 23 days ago; has a bit to prove now. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran out the ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February but she failed to back it up at Chelmsford ten days later; she is effective on turf but looks up against it in this field on her return from a 72-day break. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed filly who was found a weak, small-field Wolverhampton handicap in April and has otherwise looked to have little in hand this season; vulnerable to improvers once more. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won narrowly from three rivals at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in April and only just beaten in one go over C&D, but needs to bounce back from a modest effort at Nottingham (5f, good) this month (behind Galaxy Zoo). |
9/2 |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not an instant success in handicaps but the return to 5f helped when putting up a game show to win with nothing to spare on AW in April; a subsequent Yarmouth third suggests more will be needed in this higher grade. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over 5f/6f on good to firm last year, the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best on his final two starts last year and needs to return to form on his first start for 187 days. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner over 5f/6f on good to firm ground this year and ran well in both starts on AW last autumn; has won fresh so the 83-day absence not a problem, but he still looks high enough in the weights. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) last June and signed off with a good third of ten in 5f Yarmouth handicap in October; in the mix if fully tuned up for his seasonal return. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bolted up at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in June but hit with a 10lb rise and he has found it tougher since; this looks more manageable but best efforts on fast ground and conditions are a query here. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The winner of two of his nine starts, notably an emphatic success on turf here (good to firm) in June; solid efforts in both starts since but he needs something extra to defy this mark. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

He has done his winning on AW and, although he handles turf, it has been a while since he ran to form on the grass; drops in class today but others look safer. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Seems happiest on AW nowadays; not at best at Wolverhampton when last seen in December; trainer may have stronger claims with Jojo Rabbit. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten just over 2l when an encouraging seventh of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) at the start of the month; both of last year's wins came at 6f on a sound surface so has conditions to suit and he's a candidate to step forward. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Effective at 5f but last summer's two wins came over 6f; not beaten far at Chelmsford (5f) when last seen in December; still has relatively low mileage. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her record at Chelmsford reads 1223; her latest third was a well-beaten one, however, and more minor money may be her best hope. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Good effort when second over C&D last month, her third run for this stable; not quite so good at Lingfield last time but the return of the tongue-tie could give her a lift. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't built on her promising 2yo debut at Naas 12 months ago; big prices and well beaten in three runs for John Butler this year, including tried in cheekpieces last month; blinkers are now reached for; only of interest if attracting market support. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went down only narrowly on her Naas debut (5f, good) for Ger Lyons last July, but not matched that form in four starts since including three for this yard; cheekpieces given a go and only of interest if attracting support. |
14/1 |

9th 5 (6) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish filly who has failed to back up debut effort; however, may be capable of improvement back at 5f on handicap debut and second start for new yard; check the betting. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |
13/2 |

8th 10 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
0-5 on turf; didn't build on his second at Wolverhampton in April when favourite but flopping at Southwell (also 6f, AW) a fortnight later; others hold more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who got off the mark in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last September; similar form when second to an improving rival at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; easy lead unlikely but he is still considered. |
3/1 |
