14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only seventh over C&D last time but she's usually reliable here and was a winner in March; nothing wrong with her mark. |
13/2 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three most recent wins have come over C&D, the latest in March; has remained in form, though she bled from the nose when third at Southwell (7f) in April; if showing no ill effects she shouldn't be too far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 7f winner at Wolverhampton this year, latterly when holding on well in first-time cheekpieces last month; probably bettered that form when second from wide stall there 18 days; respected in current mood. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runner; doubled his tally over this C&D when winning in first-time cheekpieces in April but he's struggled in both starts since; others look stronger. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Flopped over C&D 51 days ago when reportedly unsuited by being unable to dominate; he had earlier won twice over C&D this year and he's not impossibly treated; goes without cheekpieces this time. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (10) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on handicap debut at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last August; been up and down since but she bounced back with a close third over C&D two weeks ago; did clear best of the hold-up performers in that race and she's a big player if she can back that up. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Carlisle maiden handicap (7f, good to firm) last August; not beaten far at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last month, but hasn't made the frame in three AW starts; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Form over 7f since handicapping features a win at Carlisle and creditable fourth at Redcar, both times shaping as if she'll be as effective back up in trip; could go well. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but consistent in the main and was a close fourth in a 1m2f classified here last week; must have some sort of chance. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor handicap run here nine days ago but is generally very consistent; came second in similar race to this over C&D (good) in June and probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Admirably consistent 7yo who chased home Angel's Call in 7.3f classified race here in June and was third over C&D in that grade a fortnight ago; probably in the mix again. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-21 (Flat/hurdles) but went close over 1m after missing the break at Kempton in March; didn't get home having failed to settle over 1m2f at Bath (firm) 20 days ago but should be happier over this shorter trip; tongue-tie returns and she won't mind any rain (runner-up in both starts on ground slower than good to soft) |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-20 (Flat/hurdles) but she caught the eye after a slow start at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and was narrowly beaten after completely missing the break at Kempton (1m, AW) 35 days ago; strong claims over this longer trip if exiting the stalls on terms. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
19-race maiden but she's on a reduced mark and was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; that was an eye-catching effort after a slow start and she's an interesting contender back up in trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Bath (1m, firm) in June, but all her best form has come on good or faster ground; others preferred. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Bath (1m, firm) on stable debut in May and has remained in pretty good form since; still on a workable mark; ought to be on the premises. |

2nd 4 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on fast and soft ground and she's effective at up to 1m; just one win from 27 starts but that came at this track (6f, good to firm) in June and she was runner-up here on her penultimate run; could be in the mix back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in June (drop to 6f helped) off 5lb lower, who finished best of the rest, and just ahead of stablemate Some Nightmare, behind Arnaz here nine days ago; will do well to turn that round on the same terms. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always prominent when belatedly off the mark over C&D in June and probably performed to a similar level when beaten 2l off this figure at Leicester; after steering clear of 6f for so much of her career, it's now looking a good fit. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

All five wins have came at Chelmsford's Polytrack; on a mounting losing run but didn't fare too badly when fourth of 11 at Southwell (7f) ten days ago. |
3/1 |
|
4th 6 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

It's now 18 starts since his last victory and he came in only ninth of 12 in 6f Kempton handicap last month; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

9th 2 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five AW wins, all at Chelmsford (7f-1m, Polytrack); on a 17-race losing run and needs to be much better than on his last three starts. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

One piece of worthwhile form in nine starts since joining this yard, but is now 0-27, comfortably passed over; stable also runs Royal Justice. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to register a win after 26 outings; got right back on track with third of nine in 6f Ffos Las handicap 17 days ago, though, so needs considering. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Longstanding maiden who's overall continued to regress this year, mainly over 7f; has been offering a bit more again of late, without having the breaks, but others look stronger. |
