9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up. |

3rd 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough over fences with 10l win at Exeter (3m, good) last month; was beaten by 10l when third of four at Plumpton (3m2f) last time but that was behind two progressive 6yos and her jockey went for home a circuit too soon; still has potential as a staying chaser and she's in the mix off same mark as last time. |
3/1 |

3rd 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over hurdles and now 1-6 as a chaser after drawing clear for a 10l success at Exeter (3m, good); raised 7lb for winning that weak contest but there's no depth to this, either. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bagged a hat-trick last summer, including his second C&D win; back to his last winning mark and second at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) suggested on penultimate start that he is almost as good as ever; big shout. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Enjoyed a good summer in 2025 when bagging a hat-trick; comes here on the back of a good second of 8 to Oasis Sunrise at Chepstow (1m4f) last time so must enter calculations. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over 1m6f at Redcar in August but hasn't given himself a chance in two subsequent races after pulling hard, with and without the hood; risky. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ran below market expectations, having raced freely, last time when bidding for a Redcar double (1m6f); upped further in distance but may settle better and rebound with hood reapplied. |
5/2 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained second career win when scoring over C&D last time (good to firm); chance off this 4lb higher mark, providing the ground doesn't turn soft. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has 1-54 career strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022; this year's Flat handicap form is uninspiring but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and is worth a glance in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has poor 1-53 strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022, and was soundly beaten on both outings this year (11.4f/1m2f); might be perked up by the refitted blinkers, though, and Billy Loughnane is a good booking. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-18; beaten favourite her last four starts, but is holding form (3523), going under by less than a length to Virtual Hug over 1m4f here (same mark) five weeks ago; fine over this shorter trip, and has a capable claimer back aboard. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Lingfield (1m2f) in December and has remained in good form since; may not have had enough use made of her when dropped back to 8.6f here a fortnight ago but still ran well; also suited by 1m4f; leading contender. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Only 1-16 but she's a versatile and consistent filly who is effective at 1m-1m4f; drops back in trip, having taken a good hold the last twice; possibilities with Harry Vigors taking off a useful 7lb. |
