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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Always towards the rear on reappearance over C&D (good) three weeks ago but may have needed that run; won twice last summer (1m/1m2f, good; including here) and he's on a competitive mark on last autumn's form (including on soft ground); he can be in the mix if bouncing back. |
6/1 |

8th 1 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner in 2025 (including here) who also finished runner-up three times in the autumn; yard is going well so he must enter calculations on his return. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |

Dual winner who is holding his form well on all sorts of ground and has the same mark as when second at Ayr five weeks ago (1m2f); solid. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
5th 14 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was having only his second start for this yard when clinging on over the extended 7f at Beverley (good to firm) nine days ago; only raised 3lb but this is a step up from that Class 4 and his draw isn't ideal for one who usually races close to the pace. |

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. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025 (up to about 1m; good) and showed this mark wasn't beyond him when going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) last July; should come on for his recent reappearance and have a say with cheekpieces back on. |
10/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won his first three starts in 2025 so the 195-day absence isn't a major concern, but he is still 12lb above his last winning mark; cheekpieces worn in last four outings removed. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more. |
3/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 13 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September. |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can get a bit worked up and not that consistent but he still won last summer at Ayr (1m2f) and Carlisle (1m1f) and ran creditably over 1m4f on final outing; no show at 33-1 for recent reappearance when a hood was enlisted, which it isn't today; competitive if this is one of his good days. |
20/1 |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Buzzy gelding who won twice on turf last year; only run once before on the AW but this mark should be within range if he keeps calm in a first-time hood back from six months off. |

Showed promise in his first three starts for Hugo Palmer last autumn but hasn't gone on in handicaps, including on Tapeta; makes his stable debut having been picked up for 2,600gns last month; plenty to prove. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he was tried in blinkers when beating only one in 1m Hamilton handicap 19 days ago; reverts in trip here with plenty to prove. |
