21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A mild improver since handicapping, beating two subsequent dual winners at Ripon (1m4f, good) in July, and she finished well clear with the winner at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) last month; likely to be close up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Steady improvement in handicaps since June and she won a four-runner Ripon handicap (1m4f, good) in July; 4lb higher but was beaten only a head at Windsor (11.5f, heavy) 17 days ago; up another 2lb but her gradual progression is appealing. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 421 since handicapping includes a solid effort over C&D (good to firm); Ripon win (1m4f, good) has been boosted by the runner-up since; respected with further improvement plausible. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more. |
3/1 |

5th 9 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

3rd 13 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over about 1m6f last September; low-key seasonal return last month but he fared better, albeit beaten at a short price, at Nottingham 18 days ago; shouldn't be too far away. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Tailed off on Musselburgh reappearance (1m6f, soft) last month but that was a rare blip and he's feasibly treated on his best form last season including two wins over this trip (good); dangerous if he can bounce back. |
13/8 |
|
10th 11 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Highly reliable in handicaps, with 1m6f doing the trick when he won on good ground at Haydock and Chester in space of a week last September; needs to resume progress but enters calculations. |

7th 12 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won handicaps last season when always prominent at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in May and Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; no show when 14-1 for reappearance one month ago, his first race on good to firm, but it's not hard to think he will be a lot more potent today. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last season with his second win of the campaign at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; yet to race on ground quicker than good but his progressive profile gives him a squeak. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained his breakthrough success at Carlisle (1m1f) in May but he came in last of four in 1m4f Ripon handicap 56 days ago; he's not ruled out back in trip after a break though. |
