18th Feb 2026 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Dominant display when making all in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford ten days ago but turned over off this mark at Lingfield on Saturday; dropping in trip shouldn't hurt and he's more appealing than many. |
9/4 |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No impact in his first handicap but he proved a different proposition at Chelmsford on Sunday (1m), making the running and surging clear in the final furlong; looks well in under a penalty and Jack Dace's claim helps offset it; leading contender. |

Well held in all five starts, latest when eighth of 13 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 25-1) in November; still early days but she needs a transformation after a break. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won two in a row on AW in March and continued in good form on next two starts; considered on that form but beaten 20l on last two outings, on turf debut (1m2f, good) last time. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Came good with two AW wins (1m2f/9.4f) in March and made the frame on next two outings but dropped out as though something was amiss at Lingfield last month (race in which Ammoony came second) and probably needs to bounce back with career-best effort on this turf debut. |

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in his second handicap; backward steps in his three starts since, admittedly clipping heels early on latest (Madjid's race at Doncaster; 11-2) but doubts are creeping in. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two turf starts last year; made the breakthrough in his second handicap when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in February; yet to build on that, however, and others arguably have more scope for improvement on this switch back to grass. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Improved for the step up to 9.4f when winning at Wolverhampton last month, his second handicap; only fourth behind two of tonight's rivals at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible. |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a C&D nursery in November and followed up at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two weeks later; didn't really fire in his next two runs, but he got back on track with a creditable second at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; that was his 12th start but he's been generally progressive on AW and he's in the mix. |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Won a 1m nursery at Chelmsford in November and followed up over C&D the following month; last two starts have been disappointing and he needs a full revival. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of handicap wins (around 1m) at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton but he beat only one (in a change of headgear) in 1m Chelmsford handicap last time; no surprise to see him bounce back with usual cheekpieces now refitted. |

Struggled in maiden/novice events last summer and she's been well held in two Wolverhampton handicaps this winter; left George Boughey since her last run (still in same ownership) and needs plenty of improvement. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb. |
9/2 |

1st 10 (6) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record in his first five handicaps read 21121, but finished over 7l behind Euphonia at Haydock (7f, soft) last month; may have found the ground too testing and now 10lb better off, but he still has work to do. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race). |

0-7; promise in handicaps on the AW but below her best at Kempton (7f, AW) 45 days ago; now 2lb lower and drops back to 6f; others preferred. |

5th 3 (1) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to finish better than fifth across her six starts but when filling that position at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last time she shaped as though the return to 7f would help; 3lb lower today and not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

No progress for the switch to handicaps on her last two starts; edging down the weights and returning to 1m can help but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Seems the most exposed contender in this field, being 0-11, but ran well (close second) in 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton most recently and holds leading form claims back down in trip. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

0-10 but she comes here in good nick, fifth of 12 in 1m Kempton handicap 30 days ago; holds place prospects. |
7/1 |
