19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who finished close up in valuable 7f handicaps at Royal Ascot and here (both good to firm) on last two appearances; doesn't have that much to find with the principals on this return to Listed company but has never run in a sprint before. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (15) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-9 includes two wins at the Newmarket tracks; good second, beaten only a neck, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; due to go up 3lb in future; strong contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (31) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was 3-5 last term, readily winning at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) final start; hindered by racing alone returned to that C&D last time; may still have more to offer and can't be written off; Billy Loughnane (up for first time) is a booking of note. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Added to two British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat Handicap (6f, good) here in May on second start for new yard; another solid display over 7f at Cork next time; never got involved after slipping coming out of the gates in the Scurry Handicap last time (6.5f, good to firm); firmly in the mix but not certain to appreciate this first try at the minimum trip. |
10/1 |

17th 8 (14) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 6lb |
Added to two British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat Handicap (6f, good) here in May on second start for new yard; had difficulty finding a gap before storming home to win by a neck with several of these behind; another solid display over 7f at Cork; top trainer of sprinters won this in 2020 and 2021. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems happier on the AW than turf and is back down to his last winning mark; the eyeshield worn for his consistent string of efforts in the spring is also back, so there are reasons for optimism. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D in April off 5lb lower and subsequently followed up at Lingfield; not in the same form since and needs to bounce back to his best. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Minor form thus far, including on handicap debut when a 66-1 chance; opposable. |
66/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs but this is more realistic on handicap debut and he's a possible improver on this step up to 1m; needs checking in market. |
16/1 |

Big prices and well beaten in both starts; can only watch in this field. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown promise at up to 7f, including when well backed at Southwell on his penultimate start; low-key run at Kempton four weeks ago, but a 3lb drop enables him to contest 0-55 company and 1m could be in range; betting to guide. |
5/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Patchy record but he was well backed at Southwell last month and ran a better race, beaten 2l into fifth of the ten runners (behind Top Biller); tongue-tie added today but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to make his mark in handicaps but he has dropped 8lb as a result and now drops into a 0-60; needs a close market check. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win any of her first 15 starts but has now won two of her last three, the latter success gained on good to soft at Hamilton (1m1f) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise is fair but the opposition looks stronger this time. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Pontefract (1m) in July and backed it up with a good second of five in handicap at Ripon (1m2f) 18 days ago; a player off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Close second of five at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month before getting off the mark at the 16th attempt at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; had something to spare and she's respected under a penalty. |
