8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Brighton in May (1m2f, good) and she made the breakthrough over that C&D (good to firm) next time; not bred for this far but she promises to get the trip; one of the more likely ones. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
0-14, but has made the frame ten times as when beaten less than a length into second of seven over C&D (good) last time; can miss the break, but a player if getting away on terms. |
9/4 |

2nd 6 (3) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
13-race maiden who usually loses ground at the start; however, recovered well from particularly slow start when strong-finishing fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this month and looks well worth another crack at 1m2f. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |
8/1 |

10th 10 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-29 on AW but gained the win at Southwell (in 2022) and is currently in a consistent vein of form, mainly here and most recently at Chelmsford; frame possibilities. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option. |
6/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden. |
8/1 |

7th 1 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started 2025 with a four-timer, the last leg coming here; not at the same level of late but well treated if staging a revival. |
11/1 |
|
9th 1 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold. |
6/1 |

5th 11 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Rattled off a four-timer on the AW at the start of the year including two wins over C&D; won over hurdles in June and capable of playing a part off this mark if producing his best. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |
10/1 |

12th 8 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground in September, including over C&D last autumn off 6lb lower; record returning from a break down the years is far from inspiring. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Back-to-back wins here and at Brighton in September but was 33-1 when well behind Bobby Dassler here recently. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
3-41; 7lb lower than when making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) around this time last year and he has offered a little bit of encouragement in his last couple of outings; off 11 weeks, but could go well at a price. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (7) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he hinted at a revival under a patient ride when fifth of 13 in C&D handicap last month; he must enter calculations on these terms. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 (11) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often runs well fresh, so the break looks in his favour, and two of his wins have come at big prices; capable of popping up off a career-low mark but he'll need to bounce back after a poor summer. |
