30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Moderate form in seven unplaced starts and comfortably held at this level latest (1m2f, Polytrack); more needed. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Remains low mileage but he's yet to offer much, hood back on when seventh in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap 13 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

9st 12lb |
Safely held on bumper debut in April and in two Flat maidens for new stable last month (7.6f/11.6f); can't be recommended here. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed. |

1st 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; Chester maiden (7.5f) winner who made all on Newmarket's July course last August; had been gelded when successfully repeating those tactics on his comeback at Newmarket (also 1m) in April but below that form back there at the Guineas meeting the following month; not dismissed, with Oisin Murphy sticking with him. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who has been beaten at least 11l in each of his five starts (5f-8.5f), including on handicap debut (6f, AW) in May; drops back to 5f in first-time blinkers. |
20/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Weak form claims having come up well short off a basement mark on handicap debut; four runs have been from 5f to 8.6f. |
100/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to beat a single rival on first two starts, and fared only marginally better when seventh of 12 in a 7f maiden here (300-1) in February; gelded, and off for three months since, but does make handicap debut at an appropriate level. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt at Carlisle (7f, soft) last month; soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good) since but it's possible he'll be able to bounce back; has run well on Tapeta elsewhere. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not straightforward but plenty of ability for one plying his trade at Class 5 level; off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a Carlisle handicap four weeks ago (7f, soft); 2lb rise not beyond him if things pan out favourably once again. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Form figures of 221 reflect a solid start to her career, scoring comfortably at Redcar (7f, good) most recently; this $625,000 daughter of Kingman looks the type to progress further but this is a jump in class. |
12/1 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Second to Remmooz (now rated 102 by BHA) on debut at Doncaster (7f, good) and was obliged to race without cover when beaten by her main market rival at Chester last time (7.5f, good); will be hard to beat against just her own sex here. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Has the fewest convictions of these but failed to raise her modest profile when behind Desert Dream at Beverley. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
The least exposed of these; very modest form in three qualifying runs around this trip but it was a good Chester maiden she was beaten in last time and that represented a step forward; not dismissed on handicap debut. |
7/1 |
|
6 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Poor form in finishing down the field in maidens over similar trips at Thirsk and Beverley; low-grade handicaps await. |
