8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well on the AW since fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces, coming away with the favourite last time; raised another 4lb so needs to transfer the improvement to turf. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he couldn't make an impact at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs to resume his progress to defy this mark. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Prevailed narrowly in similar event at Kempton (6f, AW) with reappearance under his belt, getting off the mark at the fifth attempt; may improve further, provided he's as effective back on turf; respected. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark in a 6f maiden here on his reappearance in March; fair third at Southwell later that month but his form has nosedived on turf (handled it fine as a 2yo) on his last two starts (both in cheekpieces which are absent today); hopes pinned on the step up to 7f and the return to AW sparking a revival. |
11/1 |

12th 15 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Latest Ripon run is not the one to judge him on as he didn't handle the track; earlier Southwell third didn't suggest he was ahead of the handicapper; well drawn back at 5f but this is a step up in class. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has improved since being gelded and he made it 2-3 in handicaps when completing a double at Yarmouth (5f, good) 11 days ago; up another 5lb but he beat a clear second with a bit in hand last time and he's open to more progress; big player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can take a strong hold but has still run well in both his handicaps at Chelmsford (5f/6f) since being gelded and was nicely on top last time (hood returned); dropping back to 5f shouldn't hinder too much in this weak a race; raised 6lb. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two 5f AW nursery wins in the final third of last year; however, she's been unplaced over 5f on her four starts this year and the return to 6f doesn't appear to be an obvious plus. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Campaigned on AW since handicapping, winning twice as a 2yo but showing no further progress this year; chance partly depends on the effects of this return to turf. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
£72,000 breeze-up buy; sister to a Listed 5f/6f winner; showed plenty of promise when 0.5l clear second of five in a Wolverhampton novice on debut (6f); should go well again. |
6/4 |

2nd 7 (1) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
April foal by Acclamation; 44,000euros yearling; £72,000 breeze-up 2yo; sister to 5f/6f winner She's Quality (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 114); dam 5f-7f winner (including 2yo/AW; 94), half-sister to 5f-6f Listed winner Make A Challenge, out of half-sister to 6f/7f 2yo Group 1 winner Saoirse Abu; nicely bred but would be a rare winning 2yo newcomer for the yard. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a four-runner Hamilton maiden (6f, good) for Karl Burke last August and placed in three of his five starts for this yard, but below his best at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days ago; needs to bounce back on his first attempt at the trip. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in 6f Hamilton maiden for Karl Burke as 2yo; has run well in defeat for new yard since, if lacking the pace to get involved when a persevering third at Catterick (5f, good) last month; withdrawn at Yarmouth on Wednesday on account of unsuitable ground (good). |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made all to win Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in February but his subsequent handicap form doesn't bare similar inspection, including when beating one home at Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight ago; falling mark the straw to clutch at. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Yard won this in 2024; off the mark when making all in 7f Lingfield AW maiden in February on third run for new trainer but he's rarely reached the same level since and has something to prove on the return to 6f. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Modest form on first two starts but encouraging to see the way she ran from the front at Kempton (6f, AW) recently, when no match for a Haggas improver but punched on to regain second; of interest now realistically placed in an ordinary handicap. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins for William Knight last autumn, but he's finished last in three runs for new yard this spring and latest was at Lingfield (5f, good) on Monday; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival. |
