10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won handicaps around 1m on good at Newmarket and Hamilton in recent months; advanced her form again when second of eight at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) 13 days ago; one of two solid contenders for Tim Easterby. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Has won two of her last three races, both at around 1m on good, at Newmarket and Hamilton; 3lb higher than last time; not sure the step back up to 1m2f is ideal, although fair run on previous try at the trip. |
10/1 |

1st 7 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Third in hot race at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and won at Newmarket (1m, good) next time; not beaten far in fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last time, despite interference, and that form is working out well; this improving 3yo can be in the mix if the forecast slow ground isn't an issue. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Often front-runner; soundly beaten at the big Chester and York meetings in May but fairly solid otherwise this term and returned to winning ways in a five-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) ten days ago; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year but recent efforts less encouraging. |

4th 1 (2) |

Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed off 2lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year, but may be vulnerable to an improver; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in August (7f/1m, good/AW; including nursery debut) and has run okay on her next two outings, but she needs to better those last two performances if she's to make a serious impact here. |
9/1 |
|

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Cosy winner of a Musselburgh maiden (7f, good) in August and she did well to reel in the favourite on nursery debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) later that month; held behind Grimese's Special in seller at Salisbury (7f) last time but that was in the mud and she could kick on again on this step back up in trip. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Did well to reel in the favourite at Lingfield (1m nursery, AW), that her second straight success following a cosy Musselburgh maiden win (7f) from Ten Sixty Six - who also shares a form line with Castrillo; dam won on soft, so no reason why an easier surface will hinder. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Looked a little flattered when sneaking up the near-side rail to score at Lingfield (good to firm) in May but she more than matched that with very creditable fifth of six in Epsom Listed event (again 7f, good to soft) next time; never threatened in similar event at Carlisle a fortnight ago, however, which tempers confidence on this return to handicaps. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She's had plenty of racing but has shown improvement on her last two runs, easily winning Class 4 handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) before fifth of sixth to Ellusive Butterfly (who is now penalised) in Epsom Listed race (7f, good to soft), beaten about 4l; on the up and has each-way claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Won well at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) most recently but that was only a handicap off a mark of 70 and everything panned out perfectly for her; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Steady progress in four starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy as 2yo, before sold for £26,000gns; 11-1 for nine-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and came from last to first to get off the mark at first time of asking for new connections; up 5lb but 1m4f should be within reach and she probably has more to give. |
10/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Steady progression in four starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy and left that yard for £26,000gns after finishing second in Nottingham nursery (about 1m, good) in October; new trip a positive on pedigree and market should help on this reappearance and stable debut. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Steady improvement across her three starts, most recently 2l fourth of eight at Southwell (7f, AW); her pedigree provides hope she'll prove to be better than this opening mark, especially now back up in trip. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |
11/2 |

4th 9 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Opened his account with neck success, first two clear, in Class 6 handicap at Ripon (1m) on stable/seasonal debut; upped two grades but may have more to offer and, getting weight all round, looks one for the shortlist. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Has been running respectably in nurseries and now drops back in distance; vulnerable to anything progressive but should give another good account from low draw. |

8 (1) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on for third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and suited by the step up in trip when second there (8.6f) last time, when clear of the third; thereabouts if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
9/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Too Darn Hot colt who is out of 1m/8.5f winner; no impact in four runs so far but he made some late headway when third on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; that was eyecatching and he looks interesting on this step up in trip. |

She's hard to fancy on what she showed on her five starts in Ireland for Adrian McGuinness; however, her new trainer does very well with recruits from other yards and she's one to watch in the betting on stable debut. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Beaten about 6l on nursery debut at Galway (7f) where she was slowly away on soft ground; did finish behind Invincible Will but could be given another chance under these conditions and now hooded. |
20/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in Bath maiden (1m, good to soft) last month on third start and third on subsequent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), but he was about 5l behind runner-up Vintage Heat on that occasion so has work to do. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in first two runs but he got much closer to the target when runner-up in a Brighton maiden (1m, good to soft) last month; opening mark looks on the high side but it's still early days and he should have more to offer in nurseries; cheekpieces added. |
13/2 |
|
5 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Showed only minor promise on his first two starts (7f/1m) and probably has low-grade handicaps on his agenda after this run. |
