2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Her two 7f wins (good/soft) came at a cost mark-wise and she could finish only sixth at Sandown; this is her first time at this loftier level and she needs a career best by some margin. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (12) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record on the AW reads 58856 but she took her record on turf to 411 with convincing wins at Leicester (7f, good) and Haydock (7f, soft); up another 10lb in her hat-trick bid, but the limit of her progress is still to be established. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved when comfortable 3l winner of a 17-runner Leicester handicap (7f, good) 38 days ago, which was her first turf start since finishing fourth on debut last summer (also good); the Leicester second bombed out next time but bounced back to score at Redcar on Monday; raised 8lb but could easily still have some scope in her mark. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two good runs this season, latterly when keeping-on second in Haydock handicap (7f, soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again here, and significant rain will increase his appeal. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last year by finishing well held on his C&D handicap debut; slightly more encouraging signs when 4l fourth of eight on 6f Newcastle reappearance three weeks ago but he'll need to build on that, stepping back up to 7f. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when eighth of nine over 7f at Haydock 216 days ago; his novice and maiden runs had threatened better though and he still has time to fulfil that promise; betting useful in a winnable race. |

3rd 7 (12) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has made a positive start for his new yard, building on promising handicap debut third when winning over 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) 19 days ago; only 2lb higher but the subsequent exploits of horses from that race don't suggest it's particularly strong form. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has made a positive start for his new yard, coming home strongly on his handicap debut when a close third of seven at Southwell (7f) last month; merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off on soft ground in two starts for Danny Brooke last summer; marked improvement on his stable/AW debut three weeks ago when fourth of nine in a 7f maiden at Newcastle but they went slowly to halfway and he was well positioned; opening mark looks tough but he is at least unexposed. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Third of nine on his debut at Brighton (6f, good) last May but went backwards from that in two subsequent runs last season; still unexposed and now goes handicapping at this new trip but he needs to raise his game after six months off. |

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). |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unplaced all five outings, although not beaten far at Wolverhampton on third run last term; needs to build on seventh of 12 at Haydock (7f) on return, and today's drop back in distance may help. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Not obviously well handicapped on the form she showed in four maiden/novice events over 6f/7f last year, so will need to return from a five-month break with an improved effort. |

9st 5lb |
Best form when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm), faring best of those held up; readily outgunned once in the clear at Haydock (upped to 7f) later in May but soft ground was a possible excuse. |
6/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Raced around 6f so far, showing his best form when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) last time, faring best of those held up; 7f is likely to be within range on that evidence; not discounted. |

Remains winless but he comes here in decent nick, fourth at Wetherby (7f) before suffering a poor run when ninth at Haydock (7f) last month; one to consider. |

Ran well for a long way in front before fading into fourth when upped to 1m at Redcar (good) four weeks ago; it's possible she'd benefit from the return to 7f but is not ruled out today. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Not devoid of ability on his first two starts (7f, AW) but well held on turf on final outing; has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut after seven months off; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
