30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has in-and-out profile and was only sixth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but he's effective on turf and has won three of his last eight starts, most recently at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (11) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Behind Dosman at Southwell when tried in new blinkers two runs ago but left that form behind with a narrow verdict at Lingfield (1m), which seemed unlikely from where he was turning in; only 3lb higher and he's a C&D winner. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Both wins came over 1m2f in the spring of 2024, including here; 0-18 subsequently and he's still 7lb above his last winning mark, but he goes well fresh (has won after a longer break) and finished third on his comeback in this race last year; likely to be competitive. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has run some really good races in defeat this season, including over C&D on good/good to firm; latest soft-ground Ascot second (Grizedale third) shows he's still in form but he's been beaten on his last 17 starts and suspicion he might find at least one too strong again. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Good start to career, including 1m AW novice win in August; fine third (Mythical Guest second) of nine on turf and handicap debut at Ascot (1m, soft) four weeks ago; unlikely he'll have reached his limit after only four starts. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
All three runs on AW; won at Kempton (1m) in August on second start then went close in 7f novice there; this unexposed 3yo is a major player if transferring his AW form to turf. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Won a Beverley maiden over slightly shorter and then went close at Redcar (1m, good to soft) in his second handicap; retains some potential. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
A well-treated dual Tapeta winner at Newcastle who ran in a Class 2 there last time but that was his third below-par performance in succession; has to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Racing League handicap over C&D last summer off 2lb lower; not so good twice since and a personal best is required to maintain his unbeaten record over C&D. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging third at Sandown (1m, good) in July on second handicap start then beat 13 rivals to win in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, AW), where he reverted to hold-up tactics; he's a leading candidate today. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won back-to-back 7f races on sound surfaces last summer when with Mick Appleby but has been well below that level of form in all five starts for his current trainer; very handy mark but no recent signs of revival. |
33/1 |
|
18th 22 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on his warm spell (finishing positions 112) last summer; not in anything like the same form this year for new yard, however, and is best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
40/1 |

11th 9 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 7f wins for Mick Appleby last summer; back to his last winning mark but that is a result of showing little in three starts for current connections; only of interest if attracting support. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive form in novice company last summer, winning at Pontefract before chasing home subsequent Group 1 winner Consent at Newbury (1m2f, good); only fifth in Listed company on her next outing but still ran to a useful level; possible soft ground was no good to her when last seen and she is an intriguing contender now switched to AW. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made all at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in June on second start then runner-up in Newbury novice (1m2f, good) in July behind a subsequent Group 2 runner-up; faded into fifth in Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) in August; the drop back to 1m could be just what she needs. |
3/1 |
|
9 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Hot favourite in June on her first two starts, making all at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) on second occasion; good front-running second to a promising sort in another novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month, with the front two drawing 11l clear, and further improvement can see her play a leading role at this higher level too. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won AW maiden (about 1m1f) in France last spring; rather up and down over a range of trips for this yard, albeit this is easier than the two turf handicaps contested in Britain; hood refitted; reservations remain. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well for close second over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in December; beaten favourite twice since but there have been possible excuses, as he likely did too much too soon over 9.4f back there on the first occasion and his rider lost an iron at the start (not regained for a number of strides) over C&D since; withdrawn from an intended start last month after refusing to go in the stalls; the Wolverhampton second is solid form and he might be worth another chance. |
9/2 |
|
2 (6) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 for James Owen but he ran well for second over 8.6f here in December; not quite so good since, including when well backed at Kempton 13 days ago, but he's clearly thought to be well treated. |
