1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; failed to build on AW reappearance for new yard when only eighth of 16 over C&D but it was a competitive 0-100 at the Derby meeting and she should find life easier at this level. |
4/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat her five rivals to make all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; didn't run badly on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and could improve for that run; this race is more competitive than she's used to but she's not ruled out each-way. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won an ordinary apprentice handicap easily under 8lb claimer Chloe Lyons on the Rowley Mile last month and was handed a stiff 8lb rise for it; ran to a similar level off his revised mark in better company (soft) last time to confirm himself still in form. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Capitalised on his reduced mark when running away with a 7f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago (good ground); hit with an 8lb rise but he has had few chances at the trip; untested on slower than good. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

9st 7lb |
All seven starts on the AW have been here, with his record in handicaps reading 11332; drawn a bit wider than ideal and another furlong may suit ideally, but still high on the list in this field. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced maiden; tends to pull hard but sound run when third at Yarmouth last time (7f, good); can make the running which would be an asset round here; interesting. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Promise in maiden/novice company and again when second of nine on his handicap debut at Pontefract last summer (1m, good); below that level two weeks later and again on his return to action six weeks ago; now has a point to prove but still brings low mileage. |
12/1 |
