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. |

1 (5) |
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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 7f turf winner last summer who overcame the drop back to 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; disappointing at Yarmouth three weeks later but she's from a yard which is in fine form. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner who did well to win over 6f at Kempton (AW) 22 days ago as this is probably more her trip; however, the rise in grade off a 6lb higher mark asks questions of her. |

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. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Low mileage and ended 2025 firmly on the up with a pair of 1m handicap victories at Chelmsford and Newmarket in October; up another 5lb but this well-related Dubawi filly remains on a workable mark; big shout on her first go at 1m2f. |

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. |
