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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden; ran well in 5f handicap here (soft) last October and had a frustrating run over that trip on Newcastle AW in July on her second run back from a layoff; respectable fourth of 14 back over 6f there since and a slightly lesser test at the trip should suit; not too far away. |
20/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who showed more than her final position would suggest over 5f here last time, when hitting plenty of traffic; that was only her second run back this year and she's worth a look. |
16/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D nursery winner last December off 7lb lower who's likely to be dropped in as usual from stall 7; enjoyed a consistent summer in slightly better company on turf and is one to consider in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces a few times last autumn). |
8/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in May and second of 18 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) in July; however, he hasn't hit the same heights on his three outings since. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second of 18 over C&D at the Glorious meeting and this is much less demanding; beaten twice since but he is versatile ground-wise and should make a bold bid. |

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. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
3-10 on AW compared to 1-8 on turf but the turf win came on latest start and taking that six-runner race at Chester (5f, good to soft; made all under Jack Nicholls) by 2l was career-best form on his fourth start for current yard; 6lb higher today but did it in good style. |
16/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
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. |
8/1 |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in heavy-ground nursery at Nottingham (6f) last October before going one better there (5f, soft) eight days later; just two outings this year, finishing second here (6f, soft) in May and a close fourth at Windsor (6f, good to soft) in June, but could have a big say back from a break. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in the first half of the year but her progress appears to have stalled; now back on her last winning mark but she was only third of five over C&D last time and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins (5f, good) this May/June but her solid sequence came to a halt on last two starts; probably needs not just a revival but a career best. |

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 |
