7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins in the summer, one over hurdles and the other in a 0-50 classified event over C&D (good to firm); beaten a long way into fourth of nine back here (soft) last month and may need the ground to dry out, but a player if it does; tongue-tie given a go. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won a maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in June and a classified event over C&D last month; well held in a Lingfield handicap (1m4f, AW) last time but he still has potential after only eight starts and could resume his progress back on turf. |
8/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Had shown little on the Flat prior to winning a maiden hurdle in June and he badly let his many supporters down when beaten 14l returned to this sphere in a handicap here (about 2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; put that behind him when winning a Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, however, and he'll make his presence felt if up for it again. |

8st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten many in three starts over 1m/1m3f on AW/good ground since August; needs to step up considerably on handicap debut, but he is bred to be much better than he has shown; market could be revealing. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Twist 'N' Shake (1m including Listed; RPR 109) and Groovy Baby (6f AW; 76); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including Listed; 107); only 11-2 for debut at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago but was well beaten; drops in trip here; presumably thought capable of much better. |

0-11 but has shown she can be competitive in low-grade handicaps when reaching the frame on her last three outings, including AW; each-way claims again. |

3rd 5 (7) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

0-10 but has shown ability as when third of 14 at Windsor (11.4f, good; first-time blinkers) last month; will need to settle better than when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 12 days later, but each-way claims if she does. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321) and ran well back on turf when beaten a length into third of 11 at Bath (1m, good) last month; gets on well with Laura Coughlan; respected. |

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321; most under Laura Coughlan) with the wins at Wolverhampton over 9.4f and 7f; creeping up the weights and although he had a 1m2f turf win last September, there is something for him to prove in this discipline. |

0-9; best effort when second of ten off 2lb higher at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July, but she has regressed again since; enough to prove. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |

2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Gained her breakthrough victory at Exeter (2m) in October but she's been off since coming in a below-par fourth in 2m4f handicap at Hereford in December; she needs to bounce back. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |
6/1 |

7th 11 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |
8/1 |

1st 3 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His sole win was over hurdles 14 months ago but he looked a bit unlucky when runner-up in that sphere at Huntingdon (2m) 24 days ago; now returns to the Flat but conditions should be fine and he needs a close look in the market. |

Won a 5.3f nursery at Brighton last August; not beaten far at Bath (1m, good to soft) last month but that effort a standout in 2025 and he's been well beaten twice since; hard to recommend. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won a nursery at Brighton (5f, good to firm) last August, but he's generally struggled since and was tailed off at Brighton (1m4f, good to soft) on Tuesday; now takes a big drop back in trip but he needs to bounce back near best. |
25/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won a nursery here (5f, good to firm) in August last year, but out of the frame in six outings since; following wind surgery he wasn't beaten far into seventh of 11 at Bath (1m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, but nothing in his pedigree suggests he wants this sort of trip. |

Placed on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in January but he's struggled since and was tailed off at Brighton (1m4f, good to soft) 13 days ago; now 0-10 and has a lot to prove on this switch to a staying trip. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Improved on earlier form when third of ten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f, AW) in January but has finished remote since, in a hood then cheekpieces (retained) on last two starts; risky. |

2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter. |
14/1 |
|
11 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though. |
