1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |

It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's won three this year, proving at Ayr last time that she can do it on turf as well as Tapeta; upped another 5lb, though, and this is the first time she's run in higher than 0-65 company; not ruled out but she'll find this opposition tougher. |

Ex-Irish; had a good winter on the AW for Iain Jardine and has returned from a two-month break with two more sound AW runs; 0-10 on turf, although has run well on occasions; chance. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

Record is 3-42, the most recent win over two years ago; finished just behind Invitorio when fourth of ten over C&D 11 days ago; dropped 2lb. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

5th 4 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His last turf success came over this C&D (good) but back in April 2022; this is his level now but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

8th 12 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Five-time C&D winner; unable to justify favouritism in a 0-55 here 11 days ago and he has more on his plate at this level. |

3rd 6 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five AW wins but losing run is mounting up; needs a fast pace to aim at and is slipping down the weights; likely to come good again one of these days. |

Seven-race maiden who made some late headway when sixth (behind Invitorio and Golden Duke) over this C&D 11 days ago; could go well having been dropped another 1lb. |
28/1 |
|
6th 6 (10) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Her dam has produced a couple of smart performers and although she's shown just modest form in her six starts, she has slipped down the weights and looks sure to benefit from the return to 6f; still has time to do better. |
8/1 |

10 (3) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won in this grade on turf in summer 2024 but is 0-26 on AW; made the frame twice off her basement handicap over C&D in the autumn and didn't run badly when seventh in this grade here last month but others look stronger. |
20/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yet to win on AW (0-25); far from convincing since finishing fourth to Bishop's Glory over 6f here (7-1) in November; last of seven over 6f here ten days ago; clear and obvious risks. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 7f for Karl Burke as a 2yo; not much to celebrate since but his stable debut in January (C&D) wasn't without hope and he's now 10lb lower; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
8/1 |

4 (5) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 7f winner for Karl Burke as a 2yo; failed to win for his next yard but his mark has eased considerably and he got no luck last time at Carlisle (6f); not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
7 (1) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 7f winner for Karl Burke as a 2yo who's proved hard to place for two yards since; handicapper easing off now and he may have needed his recent Thirsk run, back from six months off, but he'll need to improve a deal on that. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
40-1 winner of a 6f handicap here last summer; well below that level in her last three races (6f/7f) and there are stamina doubts over this far. |
20/1 |
|
8th 3 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Caused a surprise with a 40-1 win in big-field handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last summer; only 1lb higher than for that success but she's taken three backward steps since and her last run was in September; others are more convincing. |
14/1 |
|
9th 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Overcame an awkward start to win a 16-runner handicap at Ayr in good style in July (6f, good to soft); unplaced twice since but suspicion remains that she is still well treated; whether this will set up favourably for her remains to be seen. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |
