21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Thirsk on his seasonal and stable debut last month; only fifth back at Thirsk this month but the drop to 6f may have counted against him; not discounted. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Better than ever when making a winning start for the Michael Dods stable over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; 6f winner for previous yard last autumn so the return to sprinting shouldn't be an issue; respected off just 2lb higher. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has three wins over C&D but last two starts suggest she needs to come down the weights before she is ready to win again; first-time cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins and a second from four previous visits here; has been holding her form well elsewhere and soft ground was perhaps a factor in finishing no better than fifth at Sandown last time; that was off this career-high figure but every chance of being involved back here. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Made his breakthrough at the seventh attempt when coming from off the pace to justify support at Haydock (7f, good); the runner-up looked unlucky and this is tougher off 4lb higher, but he still has potential and is open to more progress; respected. |
5/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form with 3l fourth of 13 in a first-time visor (retained) at Kempton (7f, AW) in May; that form has been franked by the first two and he could be thereabouts down 1lb. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (9) |
15th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Just a hint of ability in his five starts to date, though not in his latest outing at Doncaster (1m, good to firm); return to this trip may help, as may the visor, but he has plenty to prove for now. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

9st 9lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came here on the AW over 7f in January and she ran well here over 6f 19 days ago, keeping on into third to do best of those from off the pace; step back up in trip will suit but he's yet to be placed in four starts on turf. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Opened account with hard-fought 7f course win off today's mark in January but yet to make any further progress and was unable to land a telling blow when dropped back to 6f at Kempton last month. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but that came off a similar mark here (7f) in January; no impact in last four runs but he ran well for a long way at Wolverhampton last time and is not ruled out on this drop back to 6f. |

Just one win from his 18 starts but that came off a 2lb higher mark last summer; raced freely on his return to action 16 days ago and dropped away in the straight; likely to last longer today. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

On a fair mark on last season's best, including a 5f win at Windsor in June; absent 172 days and he'll need to be cherry ripe to take this. |

6 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Posted an improved effort when winning at Kempton (1m, AW) in July but he wasn't in the same form at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month following a 6lb rise; return to AW may help. |
9/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed improved form when a well-backed winner from 13 rivals at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago; had nearly 2l to spare and a 6lb rise may not stop him if the return to turf isn't an issue. |

3rd 4 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

9th 7 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins, including C&D, since joining James Owen last summer; far too strong for her five rivals at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) but that was only Class 5 and she will need more to follow up in this stronger race off a 6lb higher mark. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Twice made the frame over 7f on the AW last winter but has beaten just one rival in his last two starts, the latest on turf debut at Thirsk (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; needs the switch to a visor to produce something. |

Won a C&D maiden (good) as a 2yo but her handicap career has not yet amounted to much and she was well held in three runs during the winter; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-13 and has plenty to prove after a break; cheekpieces removed. |

Turf winner as 2yo but her handicap career has not yet amounted to much and a reduced mark counted for nothing at Newcastle recently; hooded or tongue tied of late, refitted cheekpieces today; reservations remain. |
