31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won over C&D (good) last month on second stable start; midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good) next time before 1l second of 20 at York (6f, good) last Saturday; he could still have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Prevailed in big-field Class 5 event at Thirsk (6f, good) last month on second start for new yard; found it harder in a Newbury Class 2 last weekend but could fare better with his sights lowered. |

Prevailed in big-field Class 5 event at Thirsk (6f, good) last month on second start for new yard; back up sharply in grade but gets weight all round and may remain competitive. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f, winning four times for previous yard; 2-5 on grass; mixed results on AW for new stable; ran respectably in sole 7f attempt but chance of landing this hot handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Met all sorts of trouble when down the field behind Berkshire Whisper here 12 months ago; beaten in races won by reopposing rivals in all three starts for his new stable this winter; edging down the weights and has a good apprentice booked but others still appeal more. |
25/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Quite a progressive sprinter on turf/AW, winning three times; suffered bad luck at Newcastle on Good Friday, then ran creditably to finish third at Newmarket (6f, good) last month; on same mark on this drop back in grade and he's respected. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (5f) in February, but she was off for ten weeks before beating only one in 5f handicap at Ascot 23 days ago; has a bit to prove now. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran out the ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February but she failed to back it up at Chelmsford ten days later; she is effective on turf but looks up against it in this field on her return from a 72-day break. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a sliding mark when easily winning an ordinary Nottingham handicap from the front five weeks ago; drawn to attack again and fine on Tapeta but an 8lb rise will test him into a deeper race. |
7/2 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mainly over 5f, most recently 2l fourth at Nottingham last weekend; remains well treated, having gained both handicap wins off higher marks, and has two pieces of 6f form this year; shortlisted. |
100/30 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his 2025 best and he hasn't always enjoyed much luck on AW this winter; creditable third of nine at Southwell (6f) back from a short break 23 days ago; Mick Appleby has won this twice in recent years. |

Hamilton maiden winner over this distance in the summer; seemed to have her limitations exposed at Listed level on her next two starts; now needs to get back on track on AW debut after over three months off. |
