4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Recorded victories at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) and Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last year; off six months, albeit she defied a similar absence on last season's reappearance; minus the hood for the first time in her career, though, so not quite sure what to expect. |

1st 2 (7) |
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 |
9st 11lb |
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. |

3rd 2 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Landed her fourth AW win when scoring over C&D in April; has been beaten three times since at this track, twice on AW, and although she cannot be discounted she is more exposed than the rest of the field. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has winning form on turf, but has exclusively raced on the AW since last August, winning twice; favourably treated on the pick of her form on grass and holds an each-way shout. |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins, four on the AW including over C&D last month; beaten less than a length, albeit only fifth of nine, back here 12 days ago; better drawn than of late and could go well. |

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. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Andrew Balding but she's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; switches back to turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
40/1 |
|
10th 3 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Brighton winner for Andrew Balding (1m, good to firm) last summer, but well beaten in both starts for this yard and has shown little in three goes on the AW; plenty to prove after six months off. |
25/1 |
|
9 (6) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive for Andrew Balding this summer, getting off the mark in a 1m handicap at Brighton in June; dropped away on stable debut at Sandown six weeks ago (1m, soft) and she will need to leave that effort well behind. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 firmly on the up with a pair of 1m handicap wins last October and improved again to complete the hat-trick in 1m2f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) on reappearance a fortnight ago; raised 8lb but there should be more to come; leading stable won this with a 4yo in the Strawbridge silks last season. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Low mileage and ended 2025 firmly on the up with a pair of 1m handicap victories at Chelmsford and Newmarket in October; up another 5lb but this well-related Dubawi filly remains on a workable mark; big shout on her first go at 1m2f. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
12/1 |

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. |
3/1 |
