17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, sound turf and AW) and she completed her season with very creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; look for market interest ahead of this reappearance. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Improved her record to 4-8 when making all in a Chelmsford nursery (5f, AW) three weeks ago; has a good attitude but she looks fairly exposed now and this is a tough task back up in trip. |

9st 2lb |
Landed 5f Newcastle novice on third start and ended her juvenile campaign with a good second in 5f Chelmsford nursery; below par in 5f Wolverhampton handicap on reappearance in March and off for a further 12 weeks ahead of this return to the turf. |

Landed a Newcastle novice (5f) on her third attempt last September on her AW debut before finishing second on her nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f) the following month; off since but must come into contention if she is ready to roll. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces. |

Good-ground novice winner last year; not her first placing in handicap company when a close third at Bath two weeks ago after 142 days off; possibilities. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Off the mark in a 5f Lingfield novice (good) last May; reached the frame in a couple of handicaps since but she's been hard to predict and was last of seven in her final run (6f, AW) last year; record is now 1-11 and comes with risks attached on her return; visor worn last time is removed. |

She made a bright start to her career last summer, winning a Chelmsford maiden and a Salisbury novice (both 6f); struggling in 2026 though and opposable despite her reduced mark. |

Won twice over this trip as a 2yo but has yet to show she's trained on, beating just one opponent in three starts this season; enough to prove. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Built on promising debut (6f, good) in August when landing Wolverhampton novice (Tapeta) three weeks later; back in that form when third in course handicap (also 5f) on final start for George Scott in October and sold for 17,000gns five days later; unexposed, particularly at this trip, and impossible to rule out on this stable/seasonal debut. |

Twice held on Polytrack since winning a Wolverhampton novice (5f, Tapeta) last month, including in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) on nursery debut at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago; return to this surface may help; claims. |

Sharply regressive since winning a soft-ground Bath maiden (5.7f) last autumn, turning in three tame efforts since returned to turf; this is easier again but it's hard to find many positives. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Sole win from ten starts came in a maiden at Bath (5.5f, soft) in September when trained by Kevin Philippart de Foy; solid effort when runner-up at Kempton last month but he was reported to have run flat at Bath four days later; could bounce back. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Form figures of 321 in novice/maiden events but he kicked off his nursery career with a tame effort at Windsor (5f; cheekpieces added) last month; still early days but he needs to resume his progress to make a serious impact. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Upset in the stalls on his intended third start (withdrawn) and gelded soon afterwards; showed plenty of pace either side of that when second at Brighton (5f, good to firm) and narrowly winning a novice at Musselburgh (5f, good) ten days ago; could still prove capable of better with cheekpieces enlisted on this handicap debut. |

Won twice as a 2yo; she has found the going tougher this time around but the handicapper is relenting and this should be more suitable; others still look more appealing; stable runs two. |

9st 11lb |
Completed a double at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last September but he's had only two runs since and has been well held in both of them; been gelded but he has a patchy profile and needs a major revival after another break; withdrawn twice this spring including after getting upset in the stalls here in May. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Record of 2-2 at Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite a similar track; may resume progress with Bath reappearance under his belt and looks interesting. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to beat a rival home at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in October but was progressive on turf prior to that; left the impression his first start for 200 days was needed when fourth at Bath (5f, good) last time and he is of interest with that effort behind him. |
