Won his first two starts when trained by Charlie Appleby; absent for 1,374 days prior to his stable debut in January; little to celebrate this year and opposable despite dropping into Class 6 company. |

Second foal of a 7.4f 2yo winner (RPR 85); stable not renowned for winning newcomers, however, and best watched on her belated debut. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Half-sister to an AW winner but she's finished down the field in four runs at this track including on handicap debut (9.4f) in February; still early days but she needs improvement on this step up to 1m4f. |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
0-11; lots of fair form, including at this venue, but her willingness to come home in front is questionable; hood removed for the first time since her debut. |
7/4 |

3rd 6 (4) |

led, ridden when faced challenges over 1f out, lost two places inside final furlong, kept on |
9/2 |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work. |

13-race maiden; ran well off an 8lb higher mark on her stable debut in January (1m, AW) but she has been disappointing since, including back on turf latest; others look stronger. |

9/1 |
Verdict
Unbeaten Al Waqidi showed useful form at the Newmarket Craven meeting in 2021 but he’s been absent since and can’t be accurately gauged until the market signals are taken into account. As for the remainder, consistent GROOVY BABY has particularly solid claims and ex-Irish Next Trick has possibilities for new connections.[Steve Boow]
