14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
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. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Placed on four of his five starts in 2026, although wasn't at his best when beaten over 9l into third in amateur rider race at Ascot (1m, good) 13 days ago; acts on soft. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps ill at ease on the track when a disappointing favourite at Epsom in July; reliable in the main, winning twice last summer (7f, AW; 1m, good to firm) and runner-up on two occasions back in the spring (AW); considered. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Reliable sort (on turf and AW) who won twice last summer and was runner-up in March/April on his last two outings; stable has struck often enough this summer for him to be given a close look despite this new track. |

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. |
20/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Weakened into sixth after making the running in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Redcar (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-15 but drops from 0-70 grade here and can't be ruled out off latest career-low mark. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in 14 but runner-up on three occasions and penultimate effort (1m2f) was encouraging; could go well if reacting positively to new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden but he has finished runner-up three times; mostly disappointing this year but it was a respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; Idyllic was second) last time; this extra furlong doesn't look sure to suit, however. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just four starts here but she won and was placed twice for previous yards; has regressed in recent times but may have needed her latest run, when back from wind surgery; it's been a year since she showed anything but maybe the return to this venue can perk her up. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
On a long losing sequence and she has yet to fire for her new yard this season, tried in cheekpieces when ninth of 11 at Windsor (1m) in June; needs subsequent wind surgery to spark major progress. |

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. |

3rd 4 (1) |
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. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
25/1 |

10th 4 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
