Still a maiden but she got right back on track when second of five in 7f handicap here ten days ago; she can go well again off the same mark. |

9st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden; went close over C&D last month but she failed to back it up on slow turf at Thirsk 19 days ago; 4lb higher mark has now kicked in but this isn't competitive. |

Seven-race maiden but she has threatened on occasions, including when a close second at Newcastle on Thursday (7f); best turf run came here (1m) but on good to firm; rain would be a query. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All seven starts on the AW have been here, with his record in handicaps reading 11332; drawn a bit wider than ideal and another furlong may suit ideally, but still high on the list in this field. |

Form figures in course handicaps read 1133 and those recent third places don't signal he's handicapped out of this; widest draw is a blow, though. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed ability last winter in maiden/novice races but it's been a ropey start in handicaps, trying all forms of headgear. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Twice made the frame over 7f on the AW last winter but has beaten just one rival in his last two starts, the latest on turf debut at Thirsk (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; needs the switch to a visor to produce something. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps at Kempton in May (7f); upped in trip with new headgear tried (ran well in cheekpieces once); apprentice good value for his 5lb claim at this level. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Not yet off the mark but he did run well in two 6f turf maidens (soft and good to firm) earlier in his career and the return to this trip may see more from him; this is competitive, though. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden but runner-up on three occasions, including both seasonal debuts; ran well when second over C&D last July too and he needs serious respect back from 176 days off. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

0-6 but he's finished runner-up three times, including a close call in a Thirsk handicap (1m, good to firm) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he should have more to offer at this trip; respected. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston but finished down the field on last three outings, once for Alice Haynes and twice for Lemos De Souza; now with another new stable; too risky. |

5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She should be well handicapped now and her last two runs have both been respectable; cheekpieces tried last time are now replaced by first-time blinkers; one to consider. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Ran encouragingly over C&D on final start during brief spell with Thomas Faulkner and found 7f too sharp on debut for Ian Williams; very well handicapped on best form and looks interesting back up in trip. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Proved resurgent with keeping-on fifth over C&D last time; may ideally need a return to further but is attractively weighted; won off 5lb higher here (1m) in April. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Sole success came here over 1m in April off a mark 4lb higher than today but he's been well beaten in recent starts; now back on grass. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Sole success came at Ripon (1m, good) in April off 1lb higher mark but hasn't troubled the judge in recent starts; makes return to AW and needs to show improvement. |
