30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four nurseries (one over C&D) last year and bettered inauspicious reappearance run when keeping on for respectable fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; needs another step forward today, though, and the forecast rain may not be in her favour. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, turf/AW) and she completed her season with a creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; may have needed her reappearance run over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was a heavy defeat and she needs to find more progress to defy this mark. |

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. |

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 |
10st 1lb |
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. |

9st 6lb |
Sole win was in a novice last May but she's on a reduced mark and has been placed at Bath (5.6f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (5f, good to soft) in her two runs this season; should go well again after a short break and she's still unexposed on AW. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

9st 8lb |
0-10 in handicaps since winning a Bath maiden (5.7f, soft) last September; second of ten at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in April, but has gone quiet again on turf since; cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

No match for the winner in a small field at Lingfield last time when in new cheekpieces but his record here (2-2) heightens interest. |

2nd 1 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Gained both wins in 5.2f Brighton nurseries last summer; close second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month, his second start this season, but didn't fire at Windsor a fortnight later; needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces and prove himself on an AW surface. |
