25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only turf success came off a 2lb higher mark at this meeting last year (7f, good to firm); has run two sound races over C&D on turf this season (behind Perfidia on first occasion, but is 4lb better off); well drawn and should go well again. |

3rd 10 (4) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) off 1lb higher last May and made a positive return to turf when third of 14 to the reopposing Looks Fantastic over C&D (good to firm again) 17 days ago, faring best of three who came towards the stands' side; has to enter calculations. |

Won off this mark over C&D (good to firm) last May and two positive performances in defeat this winter; however, she's hasn't been at her best on her last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Eight wins on turf but he's 0-16 on AW and he failed to beat a rival over 7f here last month; has something to prove again after that laboured effort and others are more convincing. |

On a long losing run; has a fair record here, is suited by 7f and fast ground and is likely to come on for her reappearance run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month. |

Looked in excellent nick when winning twice here in the autumn (7f/1m) but has not been at the same level on his two appearances this month (both 1m) and still needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Won three handicaps at Newcastle after joining this yard last March; only midfield at that track three weeks ago but still feasibly weighted and Rossa Ryan is booked. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

1m win here on stable debut in March and he's followed that with five good runs in defeat, most recently a near miss over C&D three weeks ago; closely matched with the winner Ring Of Gold; should make another bold bid. |

5-40; runner-up to Without Delay over C&D (good to firm; in cheekpieces) last July and found another of these rivals - Roundhay Park - too strong at Ripon (in a visor) next time; ended last season on a downbeat note and no win since October 2023; monitor only. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner for his previous yard in 2022 but has only once been back; second of nine at Catterick (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) before keeping on for third at Ripon (6f, soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago; returns to Brighton and steps back up in trip from a handy mark. |

Two wins last summer (7f/7.4f) and she's below her last winning mark; a couple of fair efforts in the first half of this spring but two lesser performances have followed and she has to raise her game. |

Soundly beaten at Redcar last Monday when reportedly hanging right-handed throughout; however, she posted two good efforts previously (including over C&D) and could be thereabouts if swiftly back on song. |

Both wins on Polytrack (7f/1m) when making all in first-time headgear; currently running well here, however, and he followed a 40-1 second (7f) at the start of last month with a respectable third of 14 (1m) four weeks later; should give it another good go. |

Pounced late at Southwell (7f; from 2lb lower) last November and close up (fourth) behind Little Ted over 7f here the following month; freshened up since fair third at Southwell (first try at 1m) in January; market can guide. |
