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. |

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

Placed efforts on her last two starts, latterly behind Asadjumeirah over C&D; may have to make do with more minor money. |

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. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five wins this year, three of them over C&D; took her form to a new level when winning at Hamilton 19 days ago but a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out today. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (4) |

Made it 3-10 on the AW when successful at Newcastle last month; up 5lb and 1-13 on turf, but a stiff 5f seems to suit her well; looks the pick of the stable's trio. |

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. |

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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back to winning ways in a C&D classified event in July; similar form back here in handicap company two weeks ago; a good early pace would play to his strengths. |
7/2 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form. |
7/1 |

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 |

Over 5l behind Tanjen at Newcastle last month; still has low mileage but could do with being more professional at the start. |

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. |

Recorded 40-1 win over 6f here (good to soft) a year ago but has lost her way since and refused to race on latest appearance 25 days ago; others are much less risky. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Shock 6f winner at Ayr (good to soft; 40-1, from 5lb higher) last July; not much to enthuse about since (0-5) but she was returning from a two-month break when fifth at Ayr (1m, good to firm; Mwafaq runner-up) latest; stamina is a major risk over 8.5f. |
40/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
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. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Never figured at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) four weeks ago, but his previous form on Tapeta this year reads well (33161123) including a win over C&D; major player if putting that latest effort behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held on turf at Carlisle last time (first start for 54 days) but all three of his wins have been on the AW, two over 8.6f at this track; the return to this surface is a positive and he could go well. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Hit a good vein of form on AW earlier in the year, winning three times including over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in March; 0-11 on turf but it was a fair effort when fifth at Doncaster last June and he's not ruled out. |
