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. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces. |

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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Infrequent winner; did score over C&D last July off a 3lb higher mark though and his latest Ffos Las second (7.3f, good) was a sound run; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner who was again turned over as favourite when never happy behind Prince Ali last time; wants a good test over this trip these days and others make greater appeal. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Generally consistent but doesn't win too often; hasn't been far away of late and regularly makes the frame; has place claims. |

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. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Landed her first win on turf at Bath (1m, firm) in May on her stable debut; ran well in two runs back there since but looks vulnerable off 3lb higher. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
20-1 for her stable debut here last month but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); similar form when second of four back here 18 days ago; feasible mark still but ground slower than good would be a concern. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
23-race maiden when she turned up for a handicap at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago but she won that seven-runner race, always prominent; that was a clear career best and it's striking that it was her first race at short of 6f; big player if the form is backed up. |
2/1 |

1st 6 (2) |

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. |

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. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

0-24 and her record for this yard is modest; not the obvious answer. |
40/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company. |
33/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Yard, who also run Lil Wade, ended a losing run early in the week; this longstanding maiden, who hasn't achieved much in four runs since leaving Ed Dunlop, isn't obviously fancied. |
