18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A bit of a mixed bag in her last six starts, winning three and finishing unplaced in the other three; off four months, but has run well fresh before and capable of playing a part in the returning cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two soft-ground wins in blinkers for William Haggas in the autumn and she made it second-time lucky for new yard when scoring without headgear at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last month; up 3lb but she hit a clear personal best last time and is open to more progress; leading contender. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off at 25-1 for her handicap debut at Kempton five weeks ago (1m) but she ran a fine race for second, battling on well but headed late by the reopposing Saytarr; open to further progress and is high on the list despite a 2lb rise. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Second of six on her Lingfield return (1m2f, Polytrack) in April, but didn't back it up there the following month and not seen since; now makes her handicap debut and the market may be revealing. |
10/1 |

10th 7 (5) |
29th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made low-key debut in the autumn but fared much better when clear second (albeit no match for winner) behind subsequent Musidora third Go Go Boots over C&D last month, and further progress is possible. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |

3rd 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Five AW wins include this year's hat-trick on the Tapeta; raised a further 4lb for what was a narrow latest success (1m) but he's on a roll and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has taken his AW record to 4-7 when winning twice at Southwell (7f/1m) since joining James Horton; raised 6lb since last time but the way he moved into contention suggests there's likely even more to come for his new stable. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who has mainly run well since the autumn, including a win at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January and a good third of ten on last month's Beverley return (7f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won over middle distances, including on turf, but seems to need shorter nowadays and made all over 1m at Southwell (AW) when last seen; could make a bold bid on this track provided he again goes from the front; stable going very well (3-5 with big LSP) this month; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 6 (9) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins over further last summer; has run some good races over 1m at Kempton since September but he is edging up the weights and needs another step forward to win. |

1st 8 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times last year; should be sharper following his seasonal return when seventh of 12 at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but is 6lb higher than his last winning mark and may need to come down a few pounds. |
9/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Good progress as a 3yo, winning 1m handicaps at Chepstow (twice) and Nottingham, all on good ground; starts this year off a tougher mark; can win more races but perhaps not this one after 193 days off. |
10/1 |

2 (11) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer whose two wins this year have come at Chepstow (1m, good); ran well when third of 12 in a stronger contest off this mark over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago; a repeat would put him right in the picture. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointing run at Nottingham last week (1m) where there were no exuses, but the early signs suggest she could be better on the AW; only 2l away at Kempton the time before. |
8/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Fourth in all five starts, the latest on her handicap debut after 120 days off at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; still unexposed and one for the shortlist down another 1lb. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1m) last May; creditable third on next three starts (including 7f) before failing to fire in cheekpieces (which are quickly discarded) on final 3yo outing; reappears with his stable back in form and high on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Just got the better of Frostmagic over C&D in April and has been placed in all three starts since, the latest when third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; a player from the same mark, especially if the cheekpieces eke out a little more improvement. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 3yo but she was well held in novice events last autumn and similar story in Kempton handicaps over 1m and 1m4f for new stable in recent weeks; lots to prove. |
40/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 3yo but she was well held in novice events last autumn and finished last of nine on handicap/stable debut here (1m) last month; still early days but she needs to show a lot more with headgear added on this step up to 1m4f. |
50/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Out of the frame in three 7f novices for Michael Bell last year including two here; makes her stable/handicap debut after 11 months off having been picked up for 4,000gns in July; market useful. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Things clicked with four AW wins between October and March and he transferred that improvement back to turf when second of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Sterling Knight third); could be thereabouts. |
8/1 |

2nd 15 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins at Kempton between October and March but he could finish only sixth of nine there when a warm favourite four weeks ago; will need a personal best to regain the winning thread and his mark has risen steeply since his last go on turf. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4-4 over C&D since October and another 4lb rise for his latest success 19 days ago may not preclude another big performance; high on list. |
