2nd 1 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two 1m2f turf handicaps in May and has held his form pretty well since; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f three weeks ago; not favoured by the weights but likely to give another good account. |
11/2 |

5th 11 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf in May (1m2f) and in the main has run pretty well in defeat subsequently; also effective on Tapeta; goes into the unknown stamina-wise today but could be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |
11/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |

Has held his form since two wins at 1m2f (good to firm and good to soft) in May; perhaps got competitive too far out last time at Salisbury but he doesn't look ahead of his mark. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has run well on all three handicap starts, all over 1m2f and getting off the mark in game fashion at Leicester last time (good to firm); creditable second over this C&D on previous start (good to firm); contender. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in both starts since upped to 1m2f in handicaps, including when beaten a neck by Frostmagic at Doncaster (good); better off with that rival at these weights but she did flash her tail at Haydock (good to firm) last time; contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Outpaced in slowly run race before keeping on for a close second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; can build on that performance when getting a better gallop and she's a major player. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins for Ismail Mohammed came on the AW last autumn, including one over C&D; makes his stable debut after three months off having been picked up for 25,000gns in February; usual visor now missing; market useful. |
10/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D and at Southwell (1m4f) in the autumn; only fourth of seven at Chelmsford (1m5f) last month but that trip is on the outer limits of his stamina and he still looks feasibly treated; dangerous back at 1m3f. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last September; finished last of 11 over 7f on handicap debut/reappearance but the last two efforts have been respectable (9.5f/1m2f); returns to AW and steps up in distance, which could suit as several of dam's siblings stayed at least this far. |
7/2 |

23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) last September on third and final 2yo start; ran okay when sixth of eight there (9.4f) last month on her second outing of the season, but needs another step forward today. |

9st 3lb |
Didn't progress for previous yard and was beaten 26l on her last start (1m2f, good to firm) 225 days ago; up in trip and needs a revival on this stable debut. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten about 3l when fifth of seven on debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but low-level form in her three starts since, the latest when 40-1 for handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; late foal and 7lb claimer is enlisted. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has completely failed to back up debut effort and cheekpieces made no difference the last twice; chance depends on whether the switch to blinkers has a better effect. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Went close on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but unable to reproduce that form on his five runs since; soundly beaten at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) most recently with these cheekpieces applied. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-8 when always behind on last month's reappearance at Nottingham (1m, good); however, he could be sharper for that run and he twice kept on for third over 1m2f last autumn (good to soft), shaping each time as though 1m4f would be well worth another go; possible player. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden but he ended last season with placed efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract and Redcar (both on good to soft); tongue-tie is removed on this drop back in trip but he's on same mark as last time and that was a personal best; interesting contender on his return. |
100/30 |
|
7 (1) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed; improved form on third handicap start last time when 4.75l third at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft; first time tongue-tie, which is retained); could improve again; each-way chance. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11-race maiden; having only his second run on the AW (fair effort on first occasion) and his first run at beyond 1m2f so has plenty to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up twice at this venue (including this trip) last term; needs to be in better form than he was at Beverley last week (seventh of nine) but it's possible that refitted blinkers will give him a lift. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-race maiden who has frame possibilities on several pieces of form, including a couple of second-place finishes at Musselburgh last term and fourth-place finish on AW reappearance. |
