16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |
5/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Had a good run of form at about 1m last summer, winning two in a row at Pontefract and Nottingham (both on good); soundly beaten on return from a winter break but may well have more to offer after that. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In fine fettle last summer, winning at Pontefract (1m) and Nottingham (8.5f); found Poet's Dawn too strong at Carlisle (1m, soft; similar terms) in September; off since finishing third at Newcastle in October, so may strip fitter for this comeback run. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
The cheekpieces were working well until below par at Thirsk where she reportedly ran flat; has to bounce back from that and has a bit to prove on the AW (0-4). |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 11-race maiden who was beaten 17l when down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) a week ago; returns to turf with the tongue-tie back on; better needed now dropped back in trip; due to be 3lb lower. |
11/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Regressive ten-race maiden who has been beaten 5l or more in his six handicaps this year; mark continues to fall but he needs to this step back up in trip to make a difference; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed early promise, but hasn't built on it and now 0-9; finished 5l behind Royal Observatory when sixth of 14 in an amateurs' event over C&D last time and needs plenty more. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty. |
3/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 2-39 but has made the frame on all five starts this year and should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2 (14) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has modest 2-38 strike-rate but comes here after two pretty good efforts (1m2f/1m) and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; might be the answer. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |
10/1 |

12th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m2f; hasn't figured at Redcar or Ayr since returning to turf last month; best watched. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9; didn't get home over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) five days ago but she wasn't beaten as far as she was on stable/seasonal debut; drops back to 7f with blinkers and tongue-tie added; may go well from the front for her in-form yard. |
5/1 |
|
7 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 and her best efforts have been over shorter; probably needed the run when beaten 21l on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, soft); sounder surface may suit but the step back up in trip isn't sure to. |
13/2 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair maiden at her best but she signed off for Stuart Williams with a below-par ninth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap in November; needs to hit the ground running for her new yard. |
8/1 |
