7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has three wins over C&D but last two starts suggest she needs to come down the weights before she is ready to win again; first-time cheekpieces. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Three wins and a second from four previous visits here; has been holding her form well elsewhere and soft ground was perhaps a factor in finishing no better than fifth at Sandown last time; that was off this career-high figure but every chance of being involved back here. |

9st 10lb |
Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |

A three-time 1m winner in 2025 who posted another good effort when runner-up in 1m Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |

3-18; second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month before winning by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 17 days ago; looks a likely player returned to AW following a 1lb rise. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily progressive Dark Angel filly who bagged a pair of 7f/1m handicaps at Kempton and York in the summer and wasn't seen to ideal effect when a good sixth of 12 in 1m Goodwood handicap last time; merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark on her Tapeta debut. |
6/4 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Kept on for third on handicap debut here (7f, good to soft) last month then won at Kempton (7f, AW); followed up when making all at York (1m, good to firm) for which she's gone up 6lb; this progressive 3yo holds likeable claims for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2020. |
5/1 |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Rather disappointing in hat-trick attempt when last seen, but this low-mileage 4yo may still have more to offer and can't be written off; gained her two wins over 1m on good ground. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Slow start to handicapping career but the return to 1m for the first time since her qualifying days has been the making of her, winning a classified event at Chepstow then a game winner of a Haydock handicap (both on good); this stiff test at 1m can suit; up 4lb; can go on improving. |
3/1 |
|
1st 9 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Not much to write home about in her first six starts, but the drop into 0-50 classified company made a big difference when she scored by over 4l at Chepstow (1m, good) 13 days ago; this will be much harder from 1lb out of the weights back in a handicap, but something may have clicked. |

Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |
11/4 |

3rd 11 (8) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |

Unraced on ground slower than good to soft; 0-12 but he's been runner-up on two occasions, including here over 1m2f last August (good to firm); too free here over 1m4f on the AW when last seen 258 days ago and drops back in trip on his reappearance. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden but he's been runner-up here on turf over 1m2f and at Epsom (1m2f, good) in his last two starts; needs to settle (has raced freely) now stepping up in trip on his return to AW. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
15th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |

Still a maiden after ten starts but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was runner-up at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday; was no match for the winner in that race but he has each-way claims again if he can back that up. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

A visor for the first time saw him break his duck in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford in January; solid fourth over C&D two weeks ago; more needed to take this. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Capable at the right level, narrowly winning a C&D handicap in August (from dead-heater Top Biller) and ran his best race since when a clearcut winner of a 6f classified at Chelmsford in January when first-time visored; didn't get going soon enough back here since but can't rule out. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Has shaped with some promise, without making a major impact, in juvenile hurdles at Doncaster and Chepstow; may show improvement returned to Ffos Las, having gained sole Flat win here (soft); interesting. |

Class 6 Flat handicap winner (1m2f, soft) whose hurdle debut fourth at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month gives him something to build on; however, others in this line-up have achieved considerably more. |
