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. |

3rd 5 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
No shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last three starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well to be placed at Southwell (1m4f, AW) and York (1m4f, good to soft); came from an unpromising position on those last two outings (from last of 16 last time, which asked a lot) and he'll be a major threat to all if he stays on this first attempt at this sort of trip; stamina is the question. |
4/1 |

3rd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give. |
14/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Registered a 1m6f double last autumn; not nearly so potent this season, including beaten 10.5l when fourth on heavy at Haydock (1m6f) three weeks ago, but this is a drop in class; goes without any form of headgear for the first time in two years. |

4th 9 (2) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Best ratings on no worse than good to soft, although he did win on heavy in 2024; registered a 1m6f double (C&D and Chester) last September but he's not been nearly so potent this season; experiment with cheekpieces was brief and blinkers now replace his usual visor. |
7/1 |
|
8th 11 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Best ratings on no worse than good to soft, although he did win on heavy in 2024; 1m6f winner (unraced beyond that) last September on his only visit to this track; that was the second leg of a double, following a series of places, but he's not been nearly so potent this season and is 5lb out of the handicap today. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice on turf last year (1m1f/1m2f) but has become disappointing this season (unplaced all five starts) and has lots to prove on first AW start since 2024. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last September but he's struggled in four runs since and latest was at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last month; now 3lb lower than for his last win but he needs major revival back in trip; wears tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner last May and he doubled his tally when winning at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last September; however, he's been well beaten in three starts this year, including at Ayr (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) on his first start since wind surgery. |
