8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Can lead; has form at both sprint trips but her win came in a 6f Chepstow maiden (good); had the widest draw to overcome when finishing last of nine on Lingfield AW in May and has more going for her in this lower grade back at 6f; first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Mainly consistent last year, including a win in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good), and her final effort can be forgiven on account of the draw; has to overcome a 230-day absence, though, and she has the outside stall. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Proving consistent and is better off with Carefree Dream on Bath nursery running last time; however, along with that rival she's going into unknown territory on first run beyond 6f. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Expensive to follow in first seven starts but he's scored in cheekpieces in two of his last three runs, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, soft) last Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but he's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had been expensive to follow but first-time cheekpieces did the trick when a clearcut winner at Brighton (maiden over an extended 5f; good); now 5lb higher than when narrowly held in his two previous handicaps but that rise is erased by Jack Callan's claim; soft ground a first. |

1st 1 (6) |
31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent yet frustrating sort who has a habit of finishing second and has been a beaten favourite on four occasions; comes with some risk but first-time headgear may enable him to go one better. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive during last year's eight-race campaign, finishing second in a nursery at Nottingham (6f, heavy) last October and going one better there (5f, soft) six days later; reappears with conditions in her favour; chance. |
3/1 |
|
7 (7) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In the frame in four of last five starts and proven on a soft surface, second of 12 when forcing the pace here (6f, heavy) six days ago; return to 5f shouldn't be an issue and she is respected off same mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Failed to progress for Andrew Balding and she was well beaten on her stable debut at Newcastle 128 days ago (6f; 50-1); dropping down the weights but she is on a recovery mission. |

6th 3 (6) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 for Andrew Balding, finishing last of four in a Ffos Las nursery (5f, heavy) last time; makes stable/AW debut having been picked up for just 1,000gns last month; needs better. |
9/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not progressing and the switch to soft ground didn't help matters at Bath two weeks ago; dropped 2lb but needs a jolt of improvement. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in two Goodwood handicaps (5f, soft/good) in June but she didn't really fire at Ascot (sixth of nine) two weeks ago; now drops back in grade but overall record is 1-15 and others are more persuasive. |
9/2 |

6th 8 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Solid fourth over 6f at Leicester three weeks ago was the latest in a series of good runs; whether she is ahead of her mark remains a moot point though. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 5f soft-ground nursery at Bath last September; runner-up in 5f handicaps at Goodwood on her last two starts, looking ready for the return to 6f; each-way claims. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
Has come into his own in 5f handicaps for this yard, looking ahead of his mark when winning cosily at Newbury (good to firm) latest, despite hanging away from the whip; has a much stiffer task in this company but his dam won this race for the stable in 2020 when wearing first-time cheekpieces, as her son does today; just out of the weights but intriguing. |
14/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the up for new stable this year, fourth at Windsor on his return in May before getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; still looked to be learning his job on that occasion and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; apprentice rider Harry Vigors making a big name for himself; lots to like. |
