3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Got off the mark in 7f classified event at Leicester and quickly followed up in similar company at Brighton (7f) six days ago; a bit more is needed here back in handicap company under a 6lb penalty but she still must enter calculations. |

9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when justifying favouritism in a 7f classified event at Leicester (good ground; ridden by Billy Loughnane) 13 days ago; leading claims of following up. |

2nd 8 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced filly but she's been well held in most of her runs including when a 12l fifth in Lingfield handicap (7f, good; blinkers added) last month; that was after eighth months off but she needs improvement on this drop into a classified event. |
16/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Favourite when last of five on handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, soft) in September and was down the field at Southwell (6f, AW) next time; off 238 days since and has blinkers added for her reappearance. |
25/1 |
|
14 (10) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest form in three novice runs at up to 7.4f; strong favourite for her nursery debut at Chepstow three weeks ago (1m, soft) but she never landed a blow, eventually finishing last of the five runners; now reverts to sprinting on her AW debut. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in sole 1m attempt, raced over shorter otherwise; ran respectably last time in a Leicester classified event he'd landed 12 months earlier; hasn't won a handicap since 2023. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been on turf and latest was in this race last year; his form nosedived at Doncaster last month but he has a striking record at this track and is versatile ground-wise; big player if he can bounce back. |
13/2 |
|
11th 12 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at Wolverhampton and he went close in a classified event there (7f) last Tuesday; record of 0-12 on turf but he has placed form in this sphere and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

All eight wins have come here, five over this trip including in a 0-55 handicap six weeks ago; 1-1 at this level and very much respected. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Latest effort, which was her second for this yard/off a break, wasn't bad and gave hope for this new trip of 1m; there are worse options. |
20/1 |
|
5th 9 (10) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Poor form in four 2yo runs for Archie Watson and was a well-held fifth in Lingfield handicap (6f, AW; hood added) on stable debut in April; should benefit from that run but she needs a major step forward at this new trip. |
16/1 |
|
5th 10 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Poor form in four runs for Archie Watson last year; the new hood needs to make a big difference on her seasonal and stable debut. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f) in January; that form puts him in the picture but he hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs and overall record is now 1-29. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages. |
33/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from 27 starts but that came at Lingfield (7f) in January and he's finished a close third there in last two starts; remains feasibly treated off same mark as last time but he still has something to prove on turf and his best form has been at 7f. |

Sole success came in June 2024 but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 11 in C&D handicap ten days ago; not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

0-15 since winning a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) as a 2yo, but was beaten less than a length into third of eight at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; could play a part if building on that. |
10/1 |

14-race losing run now stretches back two years, with no trip this year (tried between 7f and 1m6f, including C&D) provoking a revival. |

9st 9lb |
Struggled in novice/maiden company on her first three starts and it was the same story in a classified event at Leicester (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; blinkers need to make a difference. |
100/1 |
|
9th 1 (12) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Struggled at big prices in her three runs including in two starts over 1m (good/AW) this spring; now drops into a classified event but she needs a transformation with cheekpieces added. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a good third in a Kempton handicap (7f, AW) for Charlie Fellowes; looks interesting on that form but she's struggled in both runs for current yard and is now 0-7; blinkers added. |
12/1 |
|
14th 11 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
4yo who had five runs for Charlie Fellowes last year and she found improvement when a strong-finishing third in a Kempton handicap (7f) in October; looks interesting on that form but that is her standout effort and she failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Kempton (1m; tongue-tie added) in March; comes with risks attached after another break. |
7/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

4yo who had five runs for Charlie Fellowes last year and she found improvement when a strong-finishing third in a handicap here (7f) in October; on same mark on return for new yard and she's an interesting contender on this step up to 1m; tongue-tie added. |

Struggled in two bumpers last autumn and same story at massive prices in four Flat runs this year; equipment now returns but she has stacks to find on the figures and can only be watched. |
100/1 |
|
11th 7 (11) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Struggled in two bumpers (wore eyeshields) in the autumn and three subsequent AW novice races (7f-9.4f; no headgear); had refitted eyeshields and first-time blinkers when 150-1 and beaten 8l in Newcastle classified (1m, Tapeta) last month; still fairly early days. |
50/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Struggled in two bumpers (wore eyeshields) in the autumn and three subsequent AW novice races (7f-9.4f; no headgear); has more realistic chance to get competitive in this basement grade but still makes very limited appeal; sports refitted eyeshields and first-time blinkers. |
