5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished last on his handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces), upped to this trip having offered little in three runs over 1m, but wasn't beaten far in a messy affair; may ultimately want more of a test, judged on pedigree, but is one to keep an eye on. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten in three novice/maiden events over 1m but he's bred to be suited by middle distances and may have more to offer now entering handicaps; cheekpieces go on. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in two runs (1m) this spring, with RPRs in the 50s on both occasions; stablemate of Sea The Light and he remains best watched for now. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on fast turf at Yarmouth (1m1f) and Bath (extended 1m3f) in the spring; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat since; likely to be competitive with Conor Whiteley taking 5lb off. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing last of four at Catterick in July but mostly in good form this term, winning twice; if back on song he should have a part to play. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
16-race maiden whose mark continues to plummet and he finished last of six at Musselburgh (1m4f, good to soft) ten days ago; no signs that he is ready to turn it around. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Best positioned when off the mark in slowly run C&D race (17-2) three weeks ago; up just 2lb and Hollie Doyle is again in the saddle, so needs respect despite chance that the cards might not fall so favourably this time. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; mark has tumbled but she does need to pull out more if she is to break her duck. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Dual 1m4f winner this season, latterly in six-runner Class 6 contest here last month; up in grade today and suffered early mishap on latest appearance but remains completely unexposed over this trip. |
14/1 |
|

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual Leicester winner who made it second-time lucky on AW when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago; still looks feasibly treated off 3lb higher but he's untried at this trip and his best turf form has been on good to firm; some reservations. |
10/1 |

1st 6 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins have been at Leicester, latest in July off 7lb lower; has been beaten twice off a higher mark and may need to come down a few pounds. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell in March and April (1m3f/1m4f) before another solid effort when third there 46 days ago; still seeking his first win on turf but has each-way claims in the returning cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
In fine form in recent months and bids for a course hat-trick; had half a length to spare over Arth's Gold over this trip last time and is now 3lb worse off, but something appears to have clicked; major player. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Took him 19 attempts to break his duck but his last three efforts read 121, the latest win coming by a head over 1m3f here eight days ago; 3lb rise fair enough and should stay the extra furlong; shortlisted. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 1m winner last summer; back in decent form of late and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when fourth of seven in 1m Sandown handicap 18 days ago; in the picture. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 1m winner for the Frost yard last summer and she was a respectable second of five on stable debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) this month; that was after a short break and has possibilities if she can step forward from that. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual winner for the Frost yard this time last year, latterly off 3lb lower, but has been absent since pulling away her chances over C&D in the spring; needs a revival. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who hasn't built on a promising handicap debut at Ripon (6f, good) in May; well held in three starts over 5f-7f here; look elsewhere. |
20/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only poor form shown thus far and a below-par fifth of ten in 6f Thirsk classified event ten days ago; she's hard to warm to. |
