23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off at 25-1 for her handicap debut at Kempton five weeks ago (1m) but she ran a fine race for second, battling on well but headed late by the reopposing Saytarr; open to further progress and is high on the list despite a 2lb rise. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Second of six on her Lingfield return (1m2f, Polytrack) in April, but didn't back it up there the following month and not seen since; now makes her handicap debut and the market may be revealing. |

29th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Made low-key debut in the autumn but fared much better when clear second (albeit no match for winner) behind subsequent Musidora third Go Go Boots over C&D last month, and further progress is possible. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
He hasn't found his best form in three runs for Rod Millman but he is dropping down the weights and he has one of the more experienced riders on board; could revive. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard in flying form but this gelding has it to prove, having been off since a poor turf comeback in May; two previous runs on Polytrack weren't great either, while an easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-19 but has been placed ten times; returns from a break and is down to a career-low mark; hood worn on recent starts is left off; more exposed than the opposition and vulnerable to an improver. |
13/2 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-18 but has shown ability as when second of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) ten days ago; return to this trip not a problem and he holds each-way claims again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he got right back on track when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap nine days ago, doing best of those held up off a steady pace; he's effective at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has run well in competitive handicaps this summer, notably his third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) two runs ago; big shout on that form if he can brush off his below-par effort at Newbury. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Chelmsford and he has run well in competitive handicaps on turf this summer, most recently finishing third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |

3rd 6 (15) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sixth of 22 over C&D (good) in May on reappearance and further respectable efforts when fifth of 14 on his next two starts (7f, good to firm); however, he needs something extra to return to winning ways today. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won early this year on first three runs for James Horton (7f/1m, AW) before good third here (1m, good to firm) and a fifth of seven at Sandown (1m, good); won at Kempton (1m, AW) next time; could give a good account but he's 6-9 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf, which tempers enthusiasm. |
20/1 |
|
1st 1 (14) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a C&D win in April (14-1) but she's not hit the same level since and was beaten 10l at Thirsk last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but she needs another bolt from the blue. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No match for the winner last week at Pontefract (1m) but that was a return to form of sorts; has dropped to what should be a good mark. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Her wins have come on slow ground but she appears to act on good to firm; latest success came on AW (1m) in April, when 2lb lower; below that level in three turf starts since. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

The visor has had a positive effect and he may have bumped into one when a clear second off this mark 11 days ago (Polytrack); goes well here and is one of the likelier winners. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's lacked consistency of late, including in two forms of headgear; having a first crack at beyond 1m4f and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |

Four-time course winner who'll be happier back on Tapeta; now 6lb lower than when going in over C&D early in the year but needs a revival. |
20/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
