25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortably won a division of this last year and a 2lb drop for finishing best of the rest at Wolverhampton last time means she lines up off the same mark; key player. |

1lb higher than when third of five in this race last year and well treated on her best form but recent performances leave her with a bit to prove; best efforts have come at Kempton. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Left Edward Bethell after two down-the-field runs in spring and was also soundly beaten on first two runs for new stable (7.3f/1m); dropped back in trip and tried in first-time cheekpieces today; has a lot to prove on first experience of ground slower than good to soft. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who made an encouraging return from an absence on the AW (1m) last October but he hasn't achieved a lot since and was beaten a fair way out at Ffos Las in July on his yard debut; one to watch for now. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

No wins in eight; had placed form for Edward Bethell but signed off for that yard under a cloud; would have claims if he can turn a corner for new yard. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kicked off campaign with two good runs in competitive Class 4 handicaps (6f/7f, good to firm/good) and he capitalised on the drop back in grade to win at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month despite hanging badly left; the placed horses have both won since and he's gone up just 1lb; key player. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
6f novice winner who is 0-4 in handicaps but was bang there in a Class 4 at York a month ago (7f, good) and has major claims with a repeat of that. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win in novice company at Lingfield (6f, AW) in December; returned with a respectable sixth of 18 in 6f Ascot handicap (good to firm) five weeks ago and he's entitled to build on that now stepping back up in trip. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Largely consistent form on turf features a summer double (1m); not disgraced last time; has frame possibilities, provided she's as effective back on AW (third attempt). |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Knocking on the door prior to winning at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in July and she followed up at Leicester (1m, good to firm); only fifth of seven back at Doncaster last month but that may have come too soon, just six days after Leicester; this 3yo could rediscover her progressive ways today. |

5th 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Progressive filly who made her breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to soft) last month and followed up with a clearcut win on fast ground at Leicester last Sunday; remains unexposed at this trip and she's a major player under penalty in hat-trick bid. |

Seven-race maiden who has finished a tailed-off ninth in his four handicaps (6f-9.4f) and all of those runs have been on AW; opposable. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed a little promise when with Jane Chapple-Hyam, but rather lost his way and was sold for 3,000gns in October; well beaten on both starts for new yard (gelded after first of them); cheekpieces now tried. |

Didn't progress for Jane Chapple-Hyam and he was a well-beaten 50-1 shot on his stable debut in December (6f); gelded since; market should guide. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
4-10 at Redcar but latest win was July 2025 and he's not been seen to anything like such good effect since, including three times here; latest start (mid-division in large field over 1m) was first visit here this term and he now moves back up in trip, having won four times over 1m2f during 2022 and 2023. |
25/1 |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Redcar including over C&D last July; now 7lb lower than for that success, but he's lost his way since then and has been well held in both runs this season; needs a big turnaround. |
