20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in three handicaps for new stable this year, the latest over a mile nine days ago; latest 5lb drop in the weights is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 13 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
3yo who has been soundly beaten in handicaps this year on his first two runs for his new yard (7.5f then 5f; Royal Ascot latest); however, he was 2-4 in his 2yo campaign and a couple of rallying performances over 6f hinted that he may be suited by this sort of trip; may not be a forlorn hope. |
33/1 |
|
18th 15 (26) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a maiden at Sandown (5f, soft) and a novice at Haydock (6f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby as a 2yo; well-beaten 50-1 shot on stable debut at Chester (7.6f, good) last month; plenty to prove. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins as a 2yo; several creditable efforts this season but has looked held by the handicapper, fifth over this trip at Chester four weeks ago; needs something extra. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) as a 2yo; his best run this season came at Chester when a close second over 7.6f at the May meeting; good third at Hamilton last month (first run after a gelding operation); each-way shout. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two 6f AW wins as a juvenile and he nearly pulled off a step up in trip when going down narrowly at Chester (extended 7f, good) in May; had no chance of getting involved after getting badly hampered on the rail at Epsom in June; gelded since; open to some improvement but he's another trying a new trip. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
It has been a real struggle since joining this yard; he's now plummeting down the weights but still requires last month's wind operation to have made a substantial difference. |
25/1 |

9th 2 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner on final 2yo start for previous yard; has achieved little in turf handicaps this term and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely; drops to Class 6. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
£35,000 breeze-up 2yo; outsider on Haydock debut (6f, good to soft) last month and he finished a remote last of six; should know more this time but he needs a transformation on his second start. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise as a 2yo and again on his seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton in April; no progress since, including on his first run for Mick Appleby at Nottingham last month; has the raw ability to win a race of this nature but he is in danger of becoming disappointing. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Podium finishes on all three 2yo novice starts for Mark Rimell, almost holding on at Redcar (6f, good; bumped late); yet to scale those heights in handicaps this term despite starting off on a tolerable mark, traffic not costing him a win latest; hopes rest with change of scenery since. |
7/2 |
|
7th 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ducked sharply left at the start and always behind when fifth of six at 18-1 on last month's debut at Haydock (6f, good to soft); however, he's the only one of these with experience and may be able to put that to good use; cost 52,000euros last September and dam was a 7f-1m4f winner (RPR 80). |
10/1 |
|
7 (2) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
By Cotai Glory; 52,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 7f-1m4f winner (RPR 80), half-sister to useful 1m-1m2f winner Glory Daze, out of maiden half-sister to 6f 2yo Listed winner Bannock, is granddaughter of 1m1f UAE Oaks winner; yard had plenty of 2yo winners this year and this tongue-tied debutant will need watching in the betting. |
