16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Placed once in ten starts, when third of eight at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) three runs back; while 3l defeat at Wolverhampton last time was respectable when upped to 9.4f, and his dam won at up to 11.4f, others preferred. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Placed once in nine starts when third of eight at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) on his penultimate outing; needs to find more for the longer trip, but his dam won at up to 11.4f so that is possible. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

0-8; one of his better efforts when third of eight here (7f) ten days ago; down another 1lb, but he still needs more in the returning cheekpieces. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Chelmsford (7f) in February; not totally disgraced when fifth of nine in 7f Southwell handicap 12 days ago; not out of things lowered in grade. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not at his best lately, but 4lb lower than when gaining his sole success at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in February; no great surprise if he bounces back at some point. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February but has failed to build on that since; down to a career-low mark and capable if he can return to form. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Multiple winner, including C&D, and she's dropped a long way in the weights; latest fourth of 14 over C&D was a welcome return to form and the form is working out well; one to take seriously with Kaiya Fraser back on board. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |

10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f scorer in 2025; hinted at a revival when sixth of 13 in 8.5f handicap at Beverley nine days ago, finishing well from a poor draw; very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (13) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time, with reappearance under her belt; has form over C&D but the forecast ground isn't ideal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
14/1 |

4th 9 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
25/1 |

6 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tough veteran; winner over 1m1f at Musselburgh in July (good) and close second to prolific winner Jannas Journey (won next time) over 7f at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); could go well but not sure 1m2f on soft are his ideal conditions. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started the season well, winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May; less competitive since, including when fifth of eight over 1m at Carlisle five weeks ago; competes from an easing mark with blinkers replacing usual cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|

4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins have been on good to soft, the latest over 7f here on reappearance in May; rather disappointing both starts since; has won over 7.5f; any rain a bonus, but needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

2 (11) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turned things around after a break when scoring at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but she failed to back that up over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; still looks on a workable mark but she's hard to predict and needs to bounce back again. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins over 7f, the second here in March; good third to a subsequent winner at Newbury (1m, good) last time but not sure this step up in trip will suit as she can pull hard. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

AW scorer for current stable but form dipped sharply returned to turf last time, despite being previously effective in this sphere; similar type to Dark Rosa. |
14/1 |

12th 12 (4) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) winner in July who also won 7f handicap (AW; no headgear) in March; missed the break (not for the first time) a fortnight ago but otherwise could have a say back on turf. |
