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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
11/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise when fourth of ten on her debut over C&D (good) in June and when filling the same position at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month, but the return to 5f seemed to find her out at Wolverhampton (AW) nine days ago; nursery debut. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
His two wins have come in small-field affairs but he gave a good account of himself in the 3yo Dash at Epsom five weeks ago; effective on fast ground; others have more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Respectable rather than progressive on AW since a Wolverhampton win in December but he found soft turf to his liking when coming clear of his four rivals at Yarmouth (5f) last month; needs more off 7lb higher in this better race but further rain would help him more than some. |
10/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning at Wolverhampton in December and he posted solid efforts on his next three starts; however, he was down the field at Lingfield 40 days ago and now returns to turf. |

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. |

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. |
20/1 |

5th 13 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Three 5f wins around a left-hand turn on AW; clobbered by the handicapper for his two wins for Stuart Williams over the winter and he has come up short in better company since; sold for 8,000gns last month; vulnerable back on turf on his stable debut. |

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. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Career-best effort when winning at Thirsk last time; will need another forward step, upped 4lb into a stronger race, but that wouldn't come as a surprise. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a first win at the eighth attempt in 5f Nottingham handicap in May but she failed to back it up when sixth of 11 over C&D 11 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Posted some solid efforts in handicaps prior to getting off the mark at Nottingham (5f, good) 27 days ago, making all; now 6lb higher but she's likely to give another good account. |

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 |
