7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Showed progressive RPRs over 5f/6f for Mick Appleby, winning twice prior to an apparently good effort on Champions Day (mark raised 6lb for that); sold for 90,000gns since; something to prove upped in trip. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Rallied gamely in a novice at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last time, taking record to 611; improving and seems one to have on your side in a fight; however, plenty to find on ratings upped in class. |

9st 11lb |
Never threatened on his 6f debut in June but took full advantage of a pace collapse when winning a 5f Sandown maiden (soft) a fortnight ago; that form's been upheld in nurseries and he should be fine back up in trip; respected under the penalty. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned only at 6f, mostly on AW (admittedly went close in sole turf attempt); soundly beaten on finals day at Newcastle most recently; 0-3 since handicapping and now goes into unknown territory trip-wise. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6f AW novice winner last October for Ralph Beckett; a market check is advised but he's been beaten a long way in handicaps this spring on his first two starts for this yard. |
33/1 |

12th 1 (15) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bought for 26,000gns after winning five-runner Wolverhampton novice in October (6f; carried head awkwardly) for Ralph Beckett; well beaten at Ripon on stable debut last month (6f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; poorly drawn. |

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. |

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. |
10/1 |

9th 13 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Clear ability when placed all three starts (6f, good/good to soft) at two; gelded and stuck on from the rear when fifth to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance/handicap debut one month ago; will need to have come on for the outing but that's not beyond the realms. |
33/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made the frame in all three 2yo races, finding one too good when 2-7 favourite for run-of-the-mill Redcar novice (6f, good) on most recent occasion; gelded during subsequent break; probably needs improvement on this handicap/AW debut. |

2nd 6 (6) |
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. |
