16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Usually claimer ridden; all three wins came in just over a month last term but she's consistent (three seconds this season) and should be on the premises. |
11/2 |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; couldn't pose a serious threat at Ayr last week but that was a Class 4 event and she finished second at Redcar (1m2f) in her two previous runs; still looks on workable mark and has possibilities on this drop back in grade. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; her last win was 12 months ago but she's finished runner-up in three of her last four starts including at Redcar (1m2f, good) last week; only 1lb higher from out of the weights here and she should give it another good shot. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |
|

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Exposed handicapper over 6f-1m2f on the Flat who has since left Faye Bramley; has a lot on his plate on stable/hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (1m, good) in May but slow starts can be an issue and he's been well held in his last two runs; didn't get much luck at Nottingham last time but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June 2024 but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 11 in C&D handicap ten days ago; not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-15 since winning a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) as a 2yo, but was beaten less than a length into third of eight at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; could play a part if building on that. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
14-race losing run now stretches back two years, with no trip this year (tried between 7f and 1m6f, including C&D) provoking a revival. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just four starts here but she won and was placed twice for previous yards; has regressed in recent times but may have needed her latest run, when back from wind surgery; it's been a year since she showed anything but maybe the return to this venue can perk her up. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
On a long losing sequence and she has yet to fire for her new yard this season, tried in cheekpieces when ninth of 11 at Windsor (1m) in June; needs subsequent wind surgery to spark major progress. |
14/1 |
