3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; three lesser runs followed and no return to form on his reappearance in April; he could improve for that latest effort but his claims aren't compelling. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strong at the finish when winning a 7f handicap at Doncaster last summer (good to soft); three lesser efforts followed and he returns from his 172 break over a trip that may be too sharp; he is drawn near some good pace though and looks worth a market check. |

Scored at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in July but well below that form in two runs following a break (beaten favourite last time); hard to fancy unless the market speaks in his favour. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW over 6f, latest at Wolverhampton last month on his second start for this stable; flopped when favourite on his return to turf at Bath (5.5f, good) a week later and may be worth another chance back on AW. |
7/2 |

8th 1 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Southwell for Mick Appleby in December and he made it 2-4 in cheekpieces with a dominant display at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last week; record of 0-7 on turf but he ran well in big-field handicap at York last summer and he's a major player if he can transfer his progress back to this sphere; respected under a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces when opening his account in December Southwell handicap; spoiled the follow-up attempt by racing too freely and subsequently left Mick Appleby for 30,000gns; had excuses when fair fifth on stable debut at Chelmsford (also 6f; Supreme King third, Lazzar behind) a fortnight ago and might emerge best of that trio this time. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Quirky maiden who has often shown a tendency to race too freely and who lost all chance when virtually refusing to race on penultimate start; did well to take fourth over C&D last month, but remains a risky option. |
14/1 |
|
4th 11 (14) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Regressive maiden who's often pulled hard and needs to settle early from the outside stall; virtually refused to race last time anyway, so there are plenty of risks involved. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Shaped okay on a couple of occasions on turf (7f) last year before becoming frustrating, seemingly held back by a free-going nature; never better than midfield on recent Southwell (7f; 33-1) comeback; entitled to strip fitter and is easing in the weights. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |
5/2 |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Related to a few useful winners, including on Tapeta; not much has gone right since a Polytrack win over 1m in the winter and better can be expected at this lower level and back up in distance, so is one to consider. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

1m winner here in the winter off 2lb lower who's struggled badly in three runs since (possible excuses for two of them); stable form could be better and he has to bounce back. |
10/1 |

22th 5 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark with a game effort in a 1m handicap at Kempton in December; two bitterly disappointing runs have followed and he now has plenty to prove. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |
12/1 |

8 (10) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |

Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers. |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Last month's fifth at Ayr (7f, good) was his best run for a while and he continues to drop down the weights, but he needs to build on that latest performance if he's to get off the mark today at the tenth attempt. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Heavy-ground winner over 7f on final 2yo start; conditions have mostly been difficult for her this year but her staying-on third of ten at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago was more promising; in the thick of it if adding cheekpieces has a good effect. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ended her 2yo campaign with a heavy-ground success on handicap debut at Leicester (7f); that was off 2lb higher but she's struggled in four runs this season and a tongue-tie didn't make any difference at Kempton three weeks ago; has lots to prove including stamina at this new trip. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Third in 7f handicaps at Lingfield on his last two starts; doesn't look the easiest ride but Donagh Murphy is fine value for his 5lb claim against other apprentices; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give another good account at a track he ran well at last October. |

3rd 1 (8) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

7f win at Chelmsford for Alice Haynes in November; two C&D runs for new stable have both resulted in good efforts but he didn't look straightforward under pressure here two weeks ago. |
