19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won the Listed 2yo event on this card 12 months ago (5f, good) and posted a last-gasp win off top weight in a competitive handicap at York (5f, good to firm) last month; today's trip could be a good fit and she's a strong candidate if handling the ground (unraced on a slow surface). |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won 2yo Listed race last September (5f, good) and went close in Listed races on first three starts this term, beaten just a head over C&D (good to firm) on the middle occasion; below par here last month when she reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries; could bounce back with a bold bid on handicap debut. |

9st 8lb |
Showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) for 50-1 win in Listed race at Ayr (5f, good) in June; needs to prove that level of form was no one-off and she was down the field in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good to firm) last time, but she's not written off back in a handicap. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |

Clear promise as a 2yo and she didn't need to improve to win a Cork maiden on reappearance (5f, good) in April; took a big step forward with 50-1 success in Listed event at Ayr two weeks ago (5f, good; cheekpieces on for the first time); has to prove that wasn't a flash in the pan. |

Third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and now 2lb lower; merely seventh on both runs since and, while she raced away from the main action for the first part of the race at Doncaster (5f, good) last time, others arrive with more pressing claims. |

3l second to Nighteyes in Listed race at Naas (6f, yielding) last July and creditable third in Ascot handicap (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago on second stable start; has raced only eight times and it's possible she has more to offer for her top northern trainer, but such improvement is needed. |

In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced and progressive filly; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) three weeks ago, nearest finish on that occasion so this return to 6f could suit; something to find on form but could have bigger performances in her. |

Made it three wins from his five starts when landing a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; her two other wins came at 6f; returned to form when staying on for fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, AW) last September when last seen and the return to 6f could be a good move on her comeback. |

Unraced on AW but she acts on most ground on turf and both siblings won on artificial surfaces; had some useful 5f form for Mick Appleby last summer but she can give herself plenty to do and may also need to improve to win off a highish mark. |

Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |

Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |

At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |

Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

Speedy filly has an excellent strike rate over C&D (4-6) including this race last year off 2lb lower; went close behind Howd'yadoit at Navan in May but has failed to fire in three runs since; return to this track offers hope of a revival and cheekpieces are added; bold bid likely from plum draw. |

Three of her four wins last season (5f/6f) were on fast ground, so conditions suit here; creditable second over C&D last week (good); a leading chance. |

11st 2lb |
Dual course winner who failed to build on earlier promise when seventh of eight in 5f Hamilton handicap ten days ago; handily weighted if back on her A-game here though. |
