28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-11, his best effort when second of eight at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last July; not disgraced here (9.5f) in March, but has plenty to prove over this far. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden with the odd piece of modest form (good to firm and AW) but below that level on last two runs back on turf. |

Nine-race maiden with the odd piece of modest form (good to firm and AW, including 9.4f) which gives him a chance. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hints of ability in three qualifying runs but it was a poor handicap debut when beaten 12l at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; Rokuni fourth) a fortnight ago; needs to put that firmly behind her. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Modest form in three starts and she was reported to have hung right-handed throughout over C&D 22 days ago; related to winners but better needed on handicap debut. |
20/1 |
|

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Just modest form in two runs last month (7f, AW and 6f, good to soft); handicaps more suitable in time. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poor strike-rate and his three runs for his new trainer haven't suggested he was primed to double his tally. |
20/1 |

6th 1 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win was in a maiden in August 2024 and he's struggled in two runs (7f/5.7f) for new yard this season; has lots to prove at this new trip and this looks tough on the figures. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 27 starts came in a Brighton maiden when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton in 2024; posted some fair efforts for his previous yard last year but he was well beaten over 7f on his stable debut 11 days ago; headgear returns. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
6f seller winner on turf (good) last year (second start) but has come up short of that level on all subsequent starts, latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), having not been disgraced in a Lingfield classified event (7f, Polytrack) prior to that; not ruled out of the frame. |
20/1 |
|
10 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win was in a Leicester seller (6f, good) as a 2yo; in the frame in his last four starts including when fourth of 14 in a 0-50 contest at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month, but not sure the return to 6f is ideal. |
9/1 |
|
14 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was in a Leicester seller (6f, good) last July; respectable third back at Leicester (7f) last month but he's not built on that in two runs since and needs to find more in new headgear. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent in a classified at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February; ran well there three weeks ago and has to be considered returned to this level. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Came from off a strong pace to win over C&D (16-1; from 2lb higher) in February, and maintained a similar level of form (253) for a short while afterwards; less convincing on turf lately, only sixth of 14 at Beverley last week; stablemate of Shimmering Spirit. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has a record of 2-8 on AW compared to just 1-13 on turf and ran below par returned to this sphere last time; has produced best results this year in classified events. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Dodgy form when third of five in a maiden before finishing well back in a handicap, albeit on heavy ground; now 0-18. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
17-race maiden; not beaten far when third of five at Chepstow (5f, good) last month but that form is very tricky to evaluate (36-rated winner beat 1-12 favourite), and he's untested on ground slower than good to soft. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Longstanding, regressive maiden (5f-7f) for three yards; more on his plate coming back out of handicap company but has place claims in such a weak affair. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suited by 7f on turf, winning at Leicester in July and running some good races in defeat since; unexposed on the AW, having raced in only one handicap on sand, but she needs plenty more than when well held at Chelmsford in September now back on Tapeta. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless as yet; some good AW runs in the second half of 2025, including over C&D, but well held on last two starts; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 12 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Several creditable efforts on AW since September but her form nosedived over C&D on Boxing Day and she's now 0-17; down the list. |
25/1 |
|
12 (5) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
14-race maiden; fair second over 1m at Wolverhampton last month and not disgraced at Kempton four days ago (1m); stamina is a concern, but excuses for poor run on only go at 1m2f (saddle slipped). |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Well beaten all five starts (1m-1m4f) and she's impossible to recommend. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Well beaten all four starts (1m-1m4f), including when going off 150-1 for a 0-50 here last time; looks of little account. |
50/1 |

9 (9) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Big prices and has only beaten a total of one rival in three runs between 1m and 1m4f on a variety of surfaces; this is easier but she's got stacks to find. |
66/1 |
