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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice last year on good ground, latterly over 1m2f; close to best form when second at Hamilton in June but has disappointed either side of that. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D (good; also suited by soft) last summer and left his low-key reappearance run behind when keeping-on second at Hamilton (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago; still on a workable mark; live claims. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
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. |

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. |

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. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
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. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Passed the post in front on three occasions last season (1m2f/1m4f, AW, good to soft) but was disqualified on third occasion due to banned substance; two fair runs this year, latest a 2nd on AW; ideally suited by some give in the ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
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. |

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. |

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 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
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. |

9st 5lb |
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. |
20/1 |
|
8 (11) |
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. |
