27th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden; 1m2f may have stretched her on last two starts but connections also now reach for first-time headgear; 10lb lower than on reappearance and a form case can be made. |
10/1 |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent at 7f to about 1m when the ground has been good or quicker; good to soft probably didn't help when upped to 1m2f at Newmarket last month when never in contention so the stamina question remains unresolved. |
7/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form since a promising second on debut last summer, and she faded into third when odds-on for maiden at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago; now moves up in distance and she's not sure to stay judged on her pedigree. |

10st 2lb |
Comfortably prevailed at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time but is no certainty to follow up, having done all his winning in Scotland; on a career-high mark. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow success in April took his C&D record to 2-3; has remained in form elsewhere since and his latest effort, in Class 2 at Epsom, can be marked up (hampered then rallied for third place); respected back here. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 10 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Made all at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in April on second stable start; respectable efforts when fifth on his next two outings but he needs something extra today and is unproven on slow ground. |
40/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good/firmer; has quickly found his form this season for new yard and ran creditably in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last Saturday when attempting to follow up his Beverley success (7.5f); may do better still. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
225,000euros breeze-up buy; remains a maiden, and is on the verge of becoming frustrating, but the Newbury and Newmarket races he contested in August and September have worked out very well; rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par at Newbury four weeks ago, when failing to settle; however, prior to that he went close in a small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and can be in the picture if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; similar form in two handicaps around 1m this term, a solid third of 13 at Hamilton (good) in May backed up by a narrow second at Salisbury (good to firm) last time; far from disgraced over 1m2f in between; this drop back in trip asks a question but he's in form and is yet another contender. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden who has been performing respectably in 1m handicaps this winter without strongly suggesting his turn is near; today's longer trip needs to help him pull out a bit more. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finished behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time, but shaped as if he's still in reasonably good form; however, still needs to show he has what it takes to win (record is 0-14). |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (12) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 but he's on a reduced mark and was an eyecatching third behind Trais Fluors over C&D four weeks ago; that was only his fourth run on AW and has possibilities if he can back that up. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Probably on a high enough mark but he's gone close in last two races and travelled much the best last time at Hamilton (1m1f, good); he'll enjoy this softer ground; considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (13) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Winner of his first three starts in 2025, including here over 8.5f (good), and also went close on heavy ground at Goodwood (1m; first-time cheekpieces) last July; below his best on his first two starts this year but bounced back when runner-up at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June; contender. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025, including here (7.5f, good) at this meeting; also went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) off 2lb higher in July; yet to get going this term but he's too well treated to ignore; first attempt at this trip. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has a 5lb penalty for his narrow win at Pontefract on Monday (1m4f, good), having finished runner-up over this trip at Newcastle on his previous start; well-drawn; cheekpieces tried; place chance. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Scrambled home in a 7f Class 5 fillies' handicap at Carlisle (soft) last month but bombed out 48 hours later at Hamilton (8.5f; first-time visor); eased in grade with that headgear discarded seeking a revival; realistic chance at the weights factoring in allowances. |
5/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Early promise but her progress had stalled prior to rewarding market support at Carlisle on Monday (7f, soft); showed a good attitude there, especially as she raced freely early on, and can't discount despite a penalty; now tried in a visor. |
4/1 |
|
3 (6) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second in maidens on first two starts last season, the first over 6f on good to firm at Pontefract, the second over 7f on standard to slow at Newcastle; hasn't progressed since going handicapping; bit to prove now. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Heavy-ground winner over 7f on final 2yo start; conditions have mostly been difficult for her this year but her staying-on third of ten at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago was more promising; in the thick of it if adding cheekpieces has a good effect. |
9/2 |
|
3 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved to win 7f nursery on heavy ground last autumn but well below that form this season (five runs; 7f-1m2f), including when back on slow turf a fortnight ago. |
16/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended her 2yo campaign with a heavy-ground success on handicap debut at Leicester (7f); that was off 2lb higher but she's struggled in four runs this season and a tongue-tie didn't make any difference at Kempton three weeks ago; has lots to prove including stamina at this new trip. |

9st 13lb |
In the frame three times at Hamilton this year, beaten under 1l when third of five in tactical race on latest occasion four weeks ago (1m5f, good); can go well again here but others look better handicapped. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
A dual winner (at up to 1m2f) last season; recorded a very good second over C&D in June and didn't enjoy a smooth run when fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m4f) two weeks ago; remains one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Two-time turf winner (1m1f/1m2f) who arrives in good nick after two solid placed efforts at Hamilton (1m3f/1m5f); hasn't shone in two starts here but otherwise he's more solid than most. |
