15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |

2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

Daughter of Mukhadram out of a a 5f-6f winner (including AW; RPR 80); bred to have a future but a watching brief is advised this time. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner here (6f/7f) in 2020; has gone close a couple of times lately, as when beaten a short head at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in July, but losing run up to 24; others look more solid. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp. |
7/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return. |
20/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f turf win two years ago remains her only success from 21 starts; not at her best in two AW runs earlier in the year and no better back on turf at Ripon a fortnight ago; down in weights but risky. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only 2l but readily dealt with by B Associates in a 7f classified here 12 days ago (good), taking her career record to 0-43; probably that bit more effective down at 6f, but still brave to name this the day. |
33/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed three times in 11 visits here but is now 0-42 and looks up against it, even at this level; stable also runs Primrose Maid. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
41-race maiden but her best efforts on turf have been here; went off the boil in the spring but it was a respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; weakened gradually that day so the return to this trip might help a bit. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-23 since winning a pair of Kempton handicaps (7f, Polytrack) in the winter of 2023/24; only found one too good in a handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month, but his subsequent effort underlined his inconsistency. |

8th 6 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for a close second in a 6f Wolverhampton handicap 24 days ago; the concern is that he's 2-41 and can be up and down. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run; ended 2025 with a low-key effort and it was a similar story on his seasonal return in May; has the ability to feature but too much guesswork involved; blinkers back today. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of some fair form but this low-mileage 6yo has yet to offer much in three runs this summer and failed to beat a rival in five-runner handicap at Bath (5.5f) two weeks ago; blinkers go on for the first time. |
40/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
12-race maiden; not disgraced when fifth of seven behind Nordic Glory here (5f, firm) on seasonal debut in May but a lesser effort over C&D followed and others in this field have much stronger claims; tongue-tie removed after one use. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but he was a close-up third in a classified event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last August; fifth of seven here over 5f on his reappearance and may come on for that; tongue-tie added. |
14/1 |
