17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Unexposed 3yo whose record on AW reads 112; ran well when second of five on turf at Sandown (1m, soft) last month; looks worth a go over this longer trip; respected. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won her first two races on the AW before finishing only seventh when made favourite for handicap debut at Ascot (1m; sole turf start; good to firm); did well to go so close at Kempton last time after fluffing the start and only 1lb higher here; soft ground is a complete unknown, however. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
2-2 in handicaps last year including at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack); far from disgraced when sixth of 18 in a Saint-Cloud Listed event (1m, heavy) on her final outing and respected if ready to go after 159 days off. |
4/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped okay in maiden and novice races (one on soft) before laughing at her opening handicap mark at Chelmsford (1m; hood removed); the handicapper hit back with a 13lb hike but she could well come up with more. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Turf wins at 7f and latest success was over 6f on AW in April; has rarely tackled 1m and she was highly tried over this trip in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June but she did look to stay an extended 1m at Nottingham in 2025 for previous yard; has possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
18th 24 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights. |
100/1 |
|
6th 3 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time turf winner over 6f-7f; career best came with an AW win at Kempton in April; well beaten in two 7f turf starts since; drops 1lb; more needed. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressed into a useful handicapper since last autumn; couldn't cope with a steep rise in class when 9l fourth in 1m3f Carlisle Group 3 (good to firm) seven weeks ago but it was a good race for the grade (won by Estrange) and the way she stuck on suggests 1m4f should be within range even though she's a bit of a keen goer. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a hat-trick of handicap wins at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April and did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer third at Ascot last month; rises steeply in grade here but still has untapped potential. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 firmly on the up with a pair of 1m handicap wins last October and improved again to complete the hat-trick in 1m2f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) on reappearance a fortnight ago; raised 8lb but there should be more to come; leading stable won this with a 4yo in the Strawbridge silks last season. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Built on earlier promise (in a change of headgear) when cosily landing 1m3f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Form at Southwell features two wins (1m3f/1m4f) during the winter and third-place finishes in last two outings; receives weight all round and holds a solid chance kept to this track. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner in cheekpieces during the winter (1m3f/1m4f) and kept on well for third behind Velvet Red over C&D ten days ago; recent 2lb drop helps; can make presence felt again, assuming switch to refitted visor doesn't backfire. |
