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. |

9th 11 (12) |
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. |

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. |
5/2 |

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. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came on soft ground at Bath (5f) in September and she returned to form following some lesser efforts when beaten a neck over this C&D (soft) a week ago; this likely quicker ground probably isn't ideal. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Got off the mark at Bath (5f, soft) last September off 3lb lower; hasn't been in the same form since. |

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. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed 3yo who made an encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fourth of ten over C&D six weeks ago; that was his first start for 233 days and he remains capable of better; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Improved form when runner-up on nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) last August but he flopped at Bath (last of six) in his final run for John O'Shea; been gelded since and has bit to prove for new yard after 233 days off. |
