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. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has done most winning on turf in the summer, including a hat-trick last year; it's a push to say he doesn't stay this far but his best efforts have come over a bit shorter and he's always likely to hamper his chances with a slow start. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Several creditable efforts in defeat this year but he has been more prolific on turf than AW down the years; may have to make do with more minor money. |
13/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All six wins on turf have been on good to firm, the most recent coming at Chepstow last July; narrowly denied at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July but below best following a habitual slow start at Windsor two weeks ago; still considered. |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher in this race 12 months and has claims if judged on that performance but has been in steady decline in recent years, as evidenced by his recent Flat form in basement-grade events. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-28 on the Flat but he has finished runner-up five times, including at Lingfield last month; solid effort in a classified event on the AW there two weeks ago (1m4f) and makes each-way appeal. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-27 on the Flat and although he was runner-up here on the turf track (11.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago, he does not appeal for win purposes. |

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. |
