29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't built on her close second of ten in a Bath novice (5f, good to firm) in June, albeit facing a couple of impossible tasks; it's unclear how well handicapped she is on nursery debut; others preferred. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made all in a valuable Musselburgh seller (5f, good) in June but has beaten a total of one rival in two 6f nurseries (good to soft/AW); down another 2lb and return to 5f may help, but enough to prove. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days. |

Close third on handicap debut at Nottingham last October (5f, soft); beaten more than 9l only AW start; bit to prove after below-par reappearance run in June. |

Five-race maiden but she posted a solid effort when third of nine on her handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; off since but should be suited by the step back up in trip. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Easy 5f win on soft ground at Yarmouth in May; fine second of 18 at Glorious Goodwood last month before looking stretched by 6f at Brighton 15 days ago; high on the list back at 5f. |
11/4 |

4th 8 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fine effort at a big price at Goodwood last Thursday and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow; has not always been the most consistent and has only gone beyond 5f twice before but will rightly be popular. |
5/1 |

2nd 16 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Off the mark on turf when wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in May and he did well to finish within 2l of Naana's Shadow in the 3yo Dash at Epsom next time as he took a while to pick up; two lesser efforts have followed, though, and he looks vulnerable. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed efforts for Ann Duffield last season, his best effort when third in a C&D novice in September; very well handicapped on that form, and having since been gelded and given a wind op, is one with a chance; cheekpieces now tried. |
5/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
125-1 when third of 13 in a Newcastle novice (5f, AW) last month and proved that was no fluke when beaten half a length into second of four behind a previous winner (clear of the third) on nursery debut at Catterick (5f, soft) four weeks ago; races off same mark and high on the list. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Never dangerous but did keep on steadily for fourth over C&D (good ground) four weeks ago; something to prove on slower than good. |

4th 11 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three 5f wins on AW for previous yards; ran well for a long way over C&D in May on debut for this stable and faced a tough task at Epsom's Derby meeting; couldn't dismiss from his handy draw. |

15th 9 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Three 5f wins on AW for previous yards, most recently in February, but treading water in that sphere since; ran well for a long way at Chester (5f, good) in May for new trainer but has more on his plate in this company. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (11) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive during last year's eight-race campaign, finishing second in a nursery at Nottingham (6f, heavy) last October and going one better there (5f, soft) six days later; reappears with conditions in her favour; chance. |
3/1 |
|
7 (7) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In the frame in four of last five starts and proven on a soft surface, second of 12 when forcing the pace here (6f, heavy) six days ago; return to 5f shouldn't be an issue and she is respected off same mark. |

8st 13lb |
Good series of efforts ground to a halt at York (5.4f, good to firm) 29 days ago; needs a full revival but she has run well on soft so rain wouldn't be an issue. |
10/1 |

11th 10 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Twice a winner in 5f handicaps this year, latterly at Thirsk last month; creditable fourth in a Class 4 at Doncaster last time but she will need another career best to come out on top. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who finished out the back on her seasonal debut at Wolverhampton in March (6f; made the running); nothing so far to suggest she is well handicapped. |
33/1 |
|
10th 12 (8) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent results on turf last term; seemed to run well on final outing but isn't guaranteed to back up that form, especially given her lack of recent match practice and AW experience. |
33/1 |
|
9 (6) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 2lb |
Modest in her first four starts, including on nursery debut at Catterick (6f, good) last month; 3lb out of the weights and hard to recommend. |
50/1 |
