8st 10lb |
Still seeking her first win but she wasn't beaten far behind Smasher over C&D four weeks ago; well held over 5f on turf two weeks ago; one to consider back up in trip and returned to AW. |

8st 12lb |
All her racing has been done over longer trips, including up to 1m4f, but the drop to 6f at Kempton (AW) last time resulted in almost her closest finish; tailed off in her turf race, over 1m2f in June, and she still needs to improve significantly on that latest never-nearer fourth of ten. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-25 on Flat, tailed off when last seen at Southwell in January; bit to prove on hurdling debut but this is not a strong contest and he would have a squeak if taking well to the new discipline. |

Winless in two years and has regressed sharply this season, proving inconsistent in the visor in 0-55 company of late; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Looked in excellent nick when winning twice here in the autumn (7f/1m) but has not been at the same level on his two appearances this month (both 1m) and still needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Won three handicaps at Newcastle after joining this yard last March; only midfield at that track three weeks ago but still feasibly weighted and Rossa Ryan is booked. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

1m win here on stable debut in March and he's followed that with five good runs in defeat, most recently a near miss over C&D three weeks ago; closely matched with the winner Ring Of Gold; should make another bold bid. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here. |
5/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though. |

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

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

Ended last season with a laboured effort at Kempton (7f) and was tailed off on reappearance at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) in April; record is now 0-6 and he has plenty to prove on this step up to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |

12-race maiden who has been well beaten in his last two runs but he failed to see out 1m2f last time and was placed a few times earlier in the year, going close over C&D in March; each-way possible now back down in trip. |
