26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in a C&D novice in the autumn but she's been well held in two handicaps since; still early days but she missed the break at Southwell (25-1) last time and needs a transformation back at this track. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
String of consistent efforts since her AW win last summer, including from a wide stall back on turf six weeks ago; no obvious reason she won't give her running again in a race in which a few have something to prove. |
9/2 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
One win from 16 starts, over 6f on Kempton AW last August; in the frame on sand six times since but she hardly shifts in the weights; probably handles turf but needs a bit more for the return to this surface if she's to get her head in front again. |
9/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her only win from 15 attempts came over this C&D and that was her sole appearance at Kempton; not beaten far off this mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (7f) 16 days ago; each-way shout once more. |

Got off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May and race may have come too soon when running flat three days later; still unexposed and may be worth another chance after a short break. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A failure under patient tactics aside, she proved consistent last autumn and winter; timely return to 6f judged on recent keeping-on Tapeta runs, but she's still possibly high in the weights despite 1lb more off. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent rather than progressive; not beaten far into fourth behind Love Alive over C&D last month; her apprentice rider takes off a useful 7lb; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of six over 6f here last week; drop back to 5f can help but she is drawn widest and needs a surge of improvement. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kept busy in 2026 and has bagged a pair of 7f handicaps at Lingfield (AW and turf); posted another solid effort with third of seven at Chepstow (7f) and he enters calculations once more. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a very good winter on the AW and he gained a first turf win in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; up 3lb but this consistent sort can go well again. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Being kept busy having raced 11 times on the AW since November, winning two; is a reliable type, but anyone's guess as to how he will cope with the return to turf; a player if he handles it. |

Is 0-14 and he beat one in 5f Catterick handicap last time; not easy to make a case for. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-George Scott; has run a couple of fair races for new yard, notably when 2l fifth of seven at Musselburgh in April (5f, good); overall has a bit to prove. |

6th 8 (10) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-George Scott maiden who's been running fairly in turf handicaps this spring; had plenty of chances now but won't mind the return to the AW and looks set to go well again. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner (good to soft) whose two AW wins came here, latterly over 5f off 1lb lower in March; might have needed it when beaten 6l on his return to turf at Doncaster on Thursday. |
7/4 |

6th 9 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Two AW wins for Scott Dixon this winter and he is just 1lb higher than for March's 5f success; finished last at Lingfield in April but that was a stiffer task than this. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise in some novice events in the autumn but was last of seven on her nursery debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in November; visor is now added after a break and she needs do much better on this return to Tapeta. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (10) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Attempts in six-runner races on turf comprise a third-place finish at Chester (6f) then disappointing effort (finished last) at Nottingham; not sure what to expect. |
