12th 4 (11) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 0-10 since debut win but he is much less exposed on AW than on turf and ran well, behind a subsequent winner, in this sphere on penultimate start; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |

2nd 4 (12) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Doubled his tally when winning at Musselburgh (5f) in June; bounced back to his best with second of 11 in 5f handicap at Haydock 22 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages over 1f out; likely to go well again off 1lb lower mark. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
In and out since he won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but he ran well when second at Haydock (5f, heavy) nine days ago; bang there if he's once more on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Underwhelming in the first half of this year but has been revived by wind surgery; briefly met trouble when a close second at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) on Wednesday; leading contender off the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo; 3yo campaign has been hard work so far but he didn't run badly at Doncaster (6f, good; first run after wind surgery) this month and dropping back to 5f shouldn't hurt; one to consider from a good draw. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who hasn't really fired on his four starts this year (April-July); however, he's not been devoid of spark and perhaps a wind op will have been beneficial; on a handy mark on his 2yo form. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-9 but ran well here as a 2yo and was second in a Haydock handicap in May (7f, soft); excuses since then, having bled from the nose in June and the hood tried here last time is swiftly removed. |
15/2 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden; one of his best efforts came over C&D (good to soft) last summer and yard has won two of the last five runnings but this one needs to improve on his handicap form so far, most recently when bleeding from the nose in June; now hooded. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two good runs this season, latterly when keeping-on second in Haydock handicap (7f, soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again here, and significant rain will increase his appeal. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all for 6f maiden win as 2yo; best form of 2026 when second of six at Sandown (7f) last month but he didn't repeat it there next time on return from wind surgery and has had a few chances off similar marks now. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Matched the pick of his 2yo form when second over C&D (good to firm) last month but he was beaten 4.5l so needs to build on that; has subsequently had wind surgery; Oisin Murphy was on board last time but seemingly prefers Desert Shadow on this occasion. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has beaten only three rivals in her three runs over 6f; steps up in trip on handicap debut and more is required from her. |
33/1 |
|
11th 5 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Finished lame when last of seven in one run for Michael Appleby last summer; 100-1, offered little immediate promise when beaten a long way (behind Dreamadera) at Leicester for her new yard recently. |
100/1 |
|
12th 13 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
28-1, weakened into a well-beaten last of seven in maiden at Ayr (6f, good) last June and reportedly finished lame; has left Mick Appleby. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Lightly raced filly who couldn't get going quickly enough on handicap debut over 6f at Carlisle but was struggling from a fair way out when upped to 1m at Musselburgh in June; others more likely for the win. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Found things happening too quickly before eventually keeping on for fairly respectable sixth of nine on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, good) a week ago; could plausibly be seen in a better light over this longer trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple-figure odds for all three starts (6f, good to firm/good) and hasn't achieved much; however, she now goes handicapping off a basement mark and she's from a family her trainer has done well with; could go well. |
