26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Dual winner (1m turf/7f Polytrack); hard to warm to from a recent form perspective and she carried her head awkwardly at Lingfield 22 days ago. |
20/1 |
|
10th 1 (9) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won over C&D last autumn off a 2lb lower mark; no explanation put forward for her latest turf flop but the return to Polytrack and a bigger field ought to help. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Added to her 1m win here (good to firm) last summer when scoring over 7f at Lingfield (AW) last September; only 2lb higher than for that win and she returned after six months off with a close second at Kempton (7f) last month; now drops to 6f for the first time but has claims if she gets a good pace. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Running well in defeat of late, most recently bumping into a heavily backed improver at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two weeks ago; stable going well and she's one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
2 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back to the mark off which she ran away from eight rivals at Southwell in January (7f); mixed record since but has a chance if she's on one of her good days. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Promise as a 2yo, including on Polytrack, but she finished last in both handicap runs in the spring; returns from another break with her stable in better form now; cheekpieces added; still has time to fulfil her potential. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
14th May 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fair form as a juvenile but ran poorly on her Beverley reappearance three weeks ago, a stumble leaving the stalls not enough to explain the performance. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Eight-race maiden who has made little impact in two handicap runs this year; down in class today but not a solid option. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Promising runs last year at 7f/1m but delivered her least effective performance yet on Lingfield return (7f), albeit in a valuable Class 4 on handicap debut; something to prove on the back of that. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Good start to the season but her form has dipped markedly on her last two starts; hopes pinned on the switch to AW turning around her fortunes. |
25/1 |
|
11 (3) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Bath maiden (1m, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) on her seasonal return; hasn't looked entirely straightforward in her handicaps since and the ground would look a worry (non-runner four times so far on account of good, good to soft (twice) and soft). |
16/1 |
|
2 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Bath (1m, good to firm) in April in these cheekpieces, which return following a 1l third of six in first-time blinkers in a handicap at Pontefract (1m, good) in June; might not be far away. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run well in two of her last three races, last time dictating a modest pace at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); came up short there but has to be feared here. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Turf winner who would have doubled her tally had she not been disqualified at Salisbury in August (1m); stayed on well for a solid second on the Chelmsford AW last time and this track could suit her better. |
3/1 |
|
7 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Returned from a 282-day absence to win at Ffos Las (1m, good) in August and she was first past the post at Salisbury 16 days later, only to be demoted to second; didn't run badly dropped to 7f at Thirsk last month but more will be needed if she is to take this. |
9/2 |
|
3 (10) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won in spite of racing freely on her seasonal return in August (1m, good); first past the post at Salisbury 17 days ago but subsequently demoted after interfering with the second horse; another small rise in the weights shouldn't prevent a big run. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Promise as a 3yo, including a comfortable win in a Wolverhampton novice last December (8.6f); struggled since returning to action in June though and risky, for all she is dropping down the weights. |
16/1 |
|
2 (1) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Looked to start handicap life on an unrealistic mark and has struggled, latterly over further round here; didn't look to see out the extended 1m1f last time and worth a second look back over 7f with stable in fine form. |
8/1 |
|
1 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had the run of the race when making all to win a novice here in December (8.5f); hasn't done as well since, although more encouraging run when fifth over same C&D last time (not best of runs); first go at this trip. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-goer who ran big race from the front when second over 1m here (good) in May; not seen to same effect over 1m2f on next two outings but this drop back to 7f is an interesting move. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Free-goer who won over 1m for Andrew Balding last summer and looked back in good nick when running big race in defeat over that trip here (good to firm) in May; refused to settle and came last of five (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield in June, though, and remains risky over this trip. |
13/2 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often pulled hard, including in the hood, and she'll have to settle better going beyond 1m for the first time after a short break; best effort for this yard was last time, though, despite again edging left (winner progressive), and she holds claims on that. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressed into a useful handicapper since last autumn; couldn't cope with a steep rise in class when 9l fourth in 1m3f Carlisle Group 3 (good to firm) seven weeks ago but it was a good race for the grade (won by Estrange) and the way she stuck on suggests 1m4f should be within range even though she's a bit of a keen goer. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a hat-trick of handicap wins at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April and did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer third at Ascot last month; rises steeply in grade here but still has untapped potential. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

8.6f winner at Wolverhampton on her final start for Roger Varian; two modest efforts for her new yard last month; something to prove for now. |

10th 5 (11) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended time with Roger Varian with a breakthrough success over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton but well beaten over that same C&D on her first outing for new connections; back down in trip. |
10/1 |
|
3 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going filly; consistent rather than progressive but she's edging down the weights and has been running respectably at a modest level; this is her first run in 0-60 company and she should make a bold bid. |
