4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many. |
11/4 |

2nd 9 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In-form filly who prevailed by half a length at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) most recently, opening her account at the 16th attempt; back up 3lb but is still unexposed at this trip on turf; following up is not out of the question. |
3/1 |

0-14 but she reached the frame over 6f at Southwell (AW) in April and was a creditable third back on turf at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and has each-way claims again. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

A fair juvenile 6f winner but he arrives below par, tenth of 12 in 6f Newmarket handicap last month; others appeal more. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only win and best form has been on the AW; wasn't beaten too far in his only handicap on grass and was just 3l away in two AW handicaps before hampered by a slow start last time; hold-up tactics might not be ideal here on quickening ground. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last summer; doubled his tally when landing a classified event at Chelmsford in January; fair run over C&D on his penultimate start but he was 11l behind Tuscan Point over C&D ten days ago. |

In the frame in three of his seven starts for Karl Burke, but out of the frame in seven starts for this yard (blinkers made no difference last time); passed over. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he's yet to fire for his current yard, only 12th in 6f Doncaster handicap six days ago; blinkers go on here. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Ex-Karl Burke; exposed 12-race maiden who is on a fair mark but needs to improve on his recent form; poor run last time with cheekpieces which are left off here. |

9st 3lb |
Recent form has been up and down, but she has managed to win three times since June including twice on good ground here (6f/7f); has won on good to soft, but soft ground would raise a question; not sure what to expect in any case. |

9st 4lb |
Won twice in minor 5f events last summer (AW and good to soft); also ran well when second to Crocus Time over C&D last August; recent return to action at Redcar may have been needed but there wasn't enough encouragement to earn him the vote this time. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

5f wins on AW/turf in August/September last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, his campaign concluded with two disappointing runs and he needs to get back on track on this reappearance outing. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though. |
13/2 |

6th 12 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well. |
9/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored off today's basement mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago and came second over C&D (soft) in September; yet to strike form after four starts this year but there have been some excuses; worth a glance in the betting. |
