7th 1 (8) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
2-2 in AW novices last year and she retained her unbeaten record on handicap debut at Doncaster (also 6f, good to firm) in May; drop to 5f and soft ground didn't see her replicate her best in Ayr Listed event four weeks ago but better can be expected in this scenario. |

10th 8 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Some promise in two turf runs (7f) for Richard Hannon in May 2025; tailed off on stable debut (6f, Tapeta) nine months ago; drops in trip for handicap debut but far from solid. |
25/1 |
|
3 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Something to find on his May efforts (7f, turf) for Richard Hannon; sold for £5,000 and gelded since; handicaps should be more suitable soon. |
25/1 |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Finished third of seven in 7f maiden at Doncaster (good to firm), beaten about 7l by the first two but faring best of the newcomers; open to progress with the experience under his belt. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who took a step forward with second of 12 in 5f Thirsk handicap eight days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Low key (peak RPR 55); hasn't that many miles on the clock (0-5) but failed to figure at Carlisle (5f, good; 22-1, fifth of ten, beaten 7l) latest; is easing slowly in the weights. |
20/1 |

5th 11 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Down the field at Haydock (6f) on handicap/seasonal debut, failing to back up his autumn novice form; however, may do better with the outing under his belt. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win at Chelmsford under Freddie Robson; has lost his way since (cheekpieces off here) but is back on the mark he defied at Chelmsford so a revival wouldn't surprise in this uncompetitive race. |
9/2 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win on Chelmsford Polytrack, but he was soundly beaten in them on penultimate start and below form when hooded on latest; now he has cheekpieces plus a first-time tongue-tie; lightly raced but none too solid. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still seeking his first win after 20 attempts but he has finished second in three of his last four starts, including C&D; Billy Loughnane booked and he is more appealing than most. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-19 but found just the even-money favourite who has won again since too strong in first-time blinkers (retained) at Ffos Las last week; should cope with dropping back to 1m from 1m2f and is drawn to attack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden but hasn't been running too badly and it was a classified race in which he was second two starts back (8.6f); should run well in new blinkers. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent gelding who ran another solid race when second of eight at Southwell two weeks ago; sets the standard and looks sure to go well again. |
4/6 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden; disappointing favourite kept to 7f last time but gave the impression this drop back in trip is worth exploring; major player on peak efforts. |
11/4 |
|
5 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Form dipped over 5f here in May when last seen; steady improvement otherwise, close second over C&D the time before; that effort gives her place possibilities. |
