25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Debut 7f AW winner who hasn't had many goes in handicaps and has been shaping of late as though this trip could suit; each-way claims. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut in a Southwell novice (7f) one year ago; unplaced in four starts this year and although his latest fifth at Southwell wasn't too bad (form worked out), he will need more to win here. |

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell (7f) in sole 2yo start; regressive RPRs this term; chance of turnaround depends on how well he responds to physical tweak (gelded since last run) and first-time hood. |

Went close over C&D two runs ago but wasn't so good at Hamilton 11 days ago and is now 0-28; a first-time tongue-tie is added. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

27-race maiden but he went close to getting off the mark when beaten a neck at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago; drops back in trip with solid place claims. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often front-runner but not when he won twice on the AW last August, including here over 7f; 8lb above the most recent success but he gave it a good go from the front when third at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago; has to be considered. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gave it a good go from the front at Southwell (7f; fine at 1m) recently but he's been found wanting a few times since his last win, off 7lb lower on the AW last August; rain is forecast and he's unraced on ground slower than good. |

Things didn't pan out his way when among the favourites for a Kempton handicap early in the month, back from a break; better than that and is 1-1 on Tapeta having won here last summer; one to consider. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Exposed 27-race maiden; runner-up in 6f classified events at Brighton on his last two starts (beaten favourite on each occasion); should run his race but others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/2 |

2nd 13 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Led close home for narrow AW win here in January but that's his only success from 21 starts and he posed no threat on turf at Brighton last month; others have more pressing claims. |

Sole win from 20 starts came off this mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; turf form not so hot; fell at Lingfield last time; others more persuasive. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Hindered by a shortage of room at Brighton last time; has won at Goodwood and Newmarket this summer but faces a stiffer task off current mark upped in class. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Showed career-best form when leading close home at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month and has now won under Oliver Carmichael on two of his last three outings; ought to cope with the undulations here and can make his presence felt again. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Heavy-ground winner over 7f on final 2yo start; conditions have mostly been difficult for her this year but her staying-on third of ten at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago was more promising; in the thick of it if adding cheekpieces has a good effect. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Improved to win 7f nursery on heavy ground last autumn but well below that form this season (five runs; 7f-1m2f), including when back on slow turf a fortnight ago. |
16/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended her 2yo campaign with a heavy-ground success on handicap debut at Leicester (7f); that was off 2lb higher but she's struggled in four runs this season and a tongue-tie didn't make any difference at Kempton three weeks ago; has lots to prove including stamina at this new trip. |

Well handicapped on her best form but she's still a maiden after 11 starts and was beaten 13l at Chelmsford (7f, AW) 11 days ago; down the list. |

0-10 but she's well handicapped on her best form and hasn't had a clear run at things in last two starts (7f, good/Tapeta); her best effort was on Polytrack and has possibilities if things go her way. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course win (1m) on her handicap debut last April; in and out since but she ran well for second at Bath (1m, good) this April and a repeat would see her on the premises at this level; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester 110 days ago. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Back from five months off in good form, set a lot to do and nearest at the finish when second of 14 in 1m Bath handicap last month; she can go well again. |
7/1 |

2nd 12 (12) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won second time out last spring and a reproduction wouldn't surprise, as she was not suited by the way the race panned out on AW comeback; on a competitive mark now for a yard enjoying a good spell and she is one to consider. |
