9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today. |

Three wins this season, the latest over C&D (good) in July; versatile regarding ground but recent efforts suggest she's on a fairly tough mark now. |

Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won her maiden over C&D a year ago and added a Lingfield handicap this July, by some 5l off 9lb lower; has shown she can deal with this mark and could bounce back from a quiet run now tried in blinkers. |
9/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won maiden over C&D (soft) last October; made all for easy win at Lingfield (6f) in July and it was a good effort dropped down to 5f when second at Yarmouth (also good to soft) last Tuesday; respected from same mark. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Has run at 6f and 7f, two wins coming over the former trip on soft and good to soft; beaten a long way under a penalty in AW Racing League race in July but she'd come clear from a favourable draw at Lingfield previously; doesn't lack for pace and interesting on first 5f run. |

All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on. |

Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Doesn't have time on his side, being the oldest contender in this field; however, looks interesting back at Doncaster, being 1-1 here (win off 1lb lower last July); Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |

All four wins over 7f, once on this track; probably stays further and is worth another go over 1m but he was last to finish on his comeback here over 7f in April and likely other days. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner; two wins in the second half of 2025 and he ended that campaign with a good second of 15 at Leicester in October; runs off the same mark but he could only manage a midfield finish in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Signed off last season with a win over 6f at Newcastle and, although only sixth here after a break 17 days ago, he only faded late on; could be happier over this extra furlong. |

Wheels have come off since last summer's Ffos Las near-miss (7f, good to soft), including on all four starts for current handler; drop to another career-low mark isn't sufficiently enticing. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |

9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |
