18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Only fifth on 7f Leicester handicap debut 26 days ago but made steady progress in maiden/novice races over 6f/7f (good/AW) prior to that and holds leading form claims back in a novice. |
7/4 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Steady progress with each of her three starts, most recently finishing third of nine at Southwell 18 days ago (7f, AW; made the running); makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and she is greatly respected. |
3/1 |

3rd 8 (4) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced filly who went down by only half a length at Carlisle (6f) last time; bred to do better still (related to several winners for her owner) and to stay this longer trip; ought to go close at the least. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who failed to beat a rival in 6f Leicester handicap on her reappearance last month; hard to warm to. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Looked flattered from the front when third in a weak maiden last August, and otherwise didn't achieve much; only run over 7f to date and needs to have improved during her seven months off. |
16/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
From a family that has served connections extremely well; her standout effort so far, and the one on which she has earned this opening mark, came in a slowly-run five-runner fillies' novice at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) and it could be misleading; her prolific sisters Al Simmo and Albeseeingyer, and brother Myal, all left their early efforts miles behind when moving into handicaps but none of them were successful on handicap debut. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made a promising 2yo debut 12 months ago (7f, soft) but she was well beaten when odds-on for her second 2yo start and neither run this year has been too encouraging; this is her first 7f outing since debut, while cheekpieces are now given a go, so a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |
8/1 |
|
7 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten favourite in both 2yo starts, at Newbury (7f, soft) and Windsor (6f, heavy), and the cause was lost at the start, when carried right, on her Newbury reappearance in August; bred to be considerably better than those results so no surprise if there's a good deal of improvement on handicap debut. |
7/2 |
|
10 (10) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Favourite for both starts last year, taking third of 11 in maiden here (7f, soft) but a flop when 8-11 at Windsor (6f, heavy); has a useful pedigree and it will be interesting to see whether her backers return. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins on Tapeta, the last three over 1m this year; well down the field when back on turf last month, though, and this drop back to 7f may not be ideal. |
20/1 |
|
12th 2 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Best form on AW and she's 0-7 on turf; exposed filly but she landed her fourth AW handicap when scoring at Southwell (1m) in March and was back in that career-best form when second over that C&D a fortnight ago; chance if she can transfer those efforts to grass. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins this year (two over C&D) and bounced back from disappointing Newcastle run with close sixth of eight over C&D this month, when the slow pace was against her; possible player. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11-race maiden; respectable third over 7f at Brighton (good to firm) most recently, shaping as if she'll be as effective back at 6f; again has place possibilities. |
8/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No wins in ten and very questionable whether last week's 2l defeat at Leicester (7f) was a step forward when only six ran. |
10/1 |
|
7 (2) |
22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who has finished unplaced in all six handicaps; cheekpieces left off today; others bring stronger claims. |
33/1 |
