17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Right back to his best of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps; this is tougher under a 5lb penalty but he can't be dismissed in his hat-trick attempt. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made the most of dropping 2lb below his previous winning mark when beating the dead-heaters Betweenthesticks and Dream Deal by a length over C&D (good) eight days ago; 5lb penalty shouldn't preclude another big effort given he has twice won from 1lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Attractively treated, having gained all wins off current mark or higher; has rather lacked consistency this year but holds a good chance provided he turns up in top form. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner and again ran well when dead-heating for second with Dream Deal behind Hover On The Wind here eight days ago; likely to be bang there again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Scored narrowly off 1lb lower over C&D when completing an April double; unable to sustain a good start to the campaign, having shown a dip in form the last twice. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win (5f AW at Newcastle) from 17 goes; not seen since respectable fourth over same C&D on New Year's Day; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but he retains plenty of the ability that saw him earn a mark of 80 after his first three starts; both C&D runs have been encouraging and he's high on the list. |
7/1 |
|
4 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden but he was beaten only a length when third of 15 at York (5.5f, good) in July and was a close seventh of 16 at Doncaster (5f, soft) under Warren Fentiman ten days ago; has claims dropping in grade. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Best form when coming from off the pace, as when a wide-margin winner at Redcar (5f, good) last month; has possibly found slower surfaces against her since (reared start latest) and considered in a race that's likely to be run to suit. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to register a victory and she underwent breathing surgery before coming in only eighth of 11 in 5f Thirsk handicap 13 days ago; needs this switch to Tapeta to spark major progress. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice at novice level, including on soft ground over this C&D on her debut, but wasn't able to progress in handicaps last year; has had a wind operation since last seen 221 days ago and she's best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
25/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Absent since a respectable effort on Boxing Day when bidding for a Wolverhampton AW five-timer; only 1-9 on turf and is 12lb higher than last attempt in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
In top form at present, winning her second on the trot, over C&D (fourth course win) last Tuesday; carries 5lb penalty but every chance there is more in the tank and a hat-trick is a real possibility. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was retried in cheekpieces when beating just one in 5f Newcastle handicap in February last time; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth (beaten 1l+) to Azucena over C&D on penultimate start, and wasn't far off the principals when fifth to Digital (Shatin Venture second, Azucena fourth) here nine days ago; possible she's able to take advantage of joint career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handicap mark has tumbled for this yard and there have been more positive signs on her last two starts; better off with the three runners who beat her over C&D last month and not ruled out. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to firm); not been in quite such good form this time, but is on a good mark as a result; wide draw not ideal. |
9/2 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not quite in top form this term, beaten favourite at Thirsk most recently; went close over C&D last autumn but her ideal level is Class 6, as a record of 0-18 in higher grades reflects. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope. |

Respectable third over C&D (good to firm) last month but two lesser Ayr runs have followed, including on Monday. |
12/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Course scorer who got back on track with third of five in 5f Catterick handicap 13 days ago; needs considering from an easing mark. |
