25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-30, the win over C&D from a similar mark last September; lost out in a tight finish to a stablemate of Woodleigh at Beverley (1m2f, good; 4-1) last week; no reason why she shouldn't take the swift turnaround in her stride; possible. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

AW winner over 1m but 1-29 overall so now fully exposed; well behind Inspiring Speeches last time. |
14/1 |

9th 7 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September and she's been effective over this far and on turf in the past; however, she's won just one of her 28 races and has to improve upon this year's form (1m-1m2f). |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came here over 7f in February off 4lb higher mark; mainly consistent since, finishing fourth of 12 over C&D 12 days ago; each-way claims. |
5/1 |

4th 12 (3) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 7f handicap off a 3lb high mark in February; not progressed on turf since then (tailed off when tried over 1m2f last time); may fare better back on the AW. |
16/1 |

5 (7) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gamely rewarded good support when off the mark at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February; however, he needs to produce more than he's managed in five starts back on turf over the summer, now 0-9 on this surface; first try at 1m2f. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account. |
7/1 |
|

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark in a classified at Ayr in July in a first-time visor (retained until now), finishing in the frame on all four starts since; first-time blinkers now take over and holds claims if new headgear can eke out further improvement. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark in first-time visor (retained since) in Ayr classified (1m, good to soft) in July and has continued in good form, finishing third in handicaps at Catterick (7f, soft/good) on last two runs; solid claims. |

11st 0lb |
16-race maiden under rules; has been struggling on the Flat during the summer and made a belated return to hurdles when seventh of ten finishers at Perth (2m, soft) nine days ago; steps up in trip and has work to do. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Six wins last September-December (including C&D) and she's gone very close to adding to that tally on her last two outings, beaten just a neck over C&D (good) last Saturday despite being badly hampered; lots to like. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Enjoyed a remarkable 2025 when a six-time winner, including over C&D; below par this season until third of seven in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 11 days ago but very much one to consider off a reduced mark now. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Form of her yard is a positive but she hasn't shown much of late and a revival is more likely to come on AW. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 2025, the second over 7f on good to firm at Wetherby; hasn't done as well this year, although fair efforts the last twice, most recently over 7f at Redcar (good to firm) last month. |
20/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
7th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |

Got off the mark at Carlisle in May off 2lb higher mark but has been below that form since, including when sixth of 11 over C&D last month; hard to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
11 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when scoring at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May, but she's been well held all three subsequent starts; on the plus side she's run well here before and is back to that winning mark. |

Got off the mark in a classified at Thirsk in July over today's distance but found out back in a couple of handicaps over 7f since; back on AW over a mile but has something to prove. |
20/1 |
|
12 (5) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when making all in a classified event at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) in July but he was never better than midfield in a handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 43 days ago. |
11/1 |
|
11 (8) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when making all in a 1m classified event at Thirsk four weeks ago (good to soft); return to 7f should be fine but he will need more to follow up in this stronger event. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Exposed maiden who was placed over 7f/1m on AW last autumn but had lost her form completely when last seen in January; first-time cheekpieces (replacing hood) need to make a big difference. |
25/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Exposed maiden who has finished tailed off in her two runs at this trip; chance judged on her third here in November (7f) but races keenly and stamina remains a concern. |
