24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-11, including four defeats for this yard; late interference didn't cost her the race at Windsor (1m, good to firm) but it was a respectable effort in a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now added; likely to race prominently. |
4/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 for Peter Chapple-Hyam and 0-3 this year for current yard; on dangerous mark and was runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March but she didn't match that back on turf at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she needs to find more back at this trip. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Triple turf winner who is 0-10 on AW but she returned after 202 days off with a respectable fourth over C&D in May; didn't get the best of runs in that race and has possibilities if she can build on that; regular hood is removed. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Absent since an autumn C&D effort that was respectable but took her AW record to 0-9; has gained none of her turf wins when fresh; doesn't look the percentage call. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |
9/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here. |
5/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Steadily progressive since handicapping and it was a personal best when landing 9.5f AW handicap in April; back on turf with solid third of ten off this career-high mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later and he may still be capable of better. |
7/2 |

3rd 10 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A two-time 1m/7f scorer last summer; lightly raced since and failed to build on solid reappearance Ascot third when only tenth in 7f Goodwood handicap last month; needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has gained both wins (7f/1m) on good to firm; grabbed third place on line over 6f for an encouraging reappearance effort and looks interesting back up in distance, with further improvement still a possibility. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Winless for previous yard but he won his first two turf starts for this one in 2025, over 1m at Windsor and 7f at Newbury (both on good to firm); it's possible that good to soft ground proved his undoing when last seen in August but a layoff since raises questions as does the return to 6f. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet again he missed the break before going down narrowly at Chepstow last week (1m, good; handles softer); too risky when he's almost certain to give himself another uphill battle by starting slowly. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second in four starts over C&D and he is running at this lower level for just the second time, so there are positives; on the flip side, he's almost certain to miss the break and can give it away completely at the stalls; risky. |
8/1 |
