4th 2 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and, although losing ground on that rival, fourth in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft) was creditable; however, needs to bounce back from the German Derby (1m4f, soft) in which he was favourite but tailed off. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of a maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; made all) on last two starts as 2yo; pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and could improve on that first-time-out display; more to do but he's heading the right way. |

2nd 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) on last two starts as 2yo, in the latter making all and stretching 8l clear; needs a good deal better in this company but he's clearly promising. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Has finished last on all three starts; has been gelded since his last run and sports first-time cheekpieces on this step up in trip on handicap debut; needs to show massive improvement here. |

10th 2 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Tailed off when last of seven on his debut at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in October and he again failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) next time; others are preferred. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has finished first past the post in two of his four starts, all on turf, since handicapping; justified favouritism in small field at Thirsk (1m4f) latest; major contender with further progress plausible. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Improved form the last twice, finishing first past the post at Goodwood (1m4f; demoted to second for causing interference) then beaten only a neck at Newbury (1m5f); respected. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
3yo who has been unplaced on his three starts for Mick Appleby and is now 0-9 but last time was a step back in the right direction and he continues to drop down the weights; could come good at some point. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on both starts for new stable this summer (1m4f/1m3f) and now 0-8 overall; may yet come good form Michael Appleby but it takes a leap of faith to support him on this drop back in trip. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Had his chances on the AW for Charlie Johnston last winter prior to being picked up for 45,000gns; Galway on his debut for new connections looked a punt and so it proved, with him well beaten; needs a deal more on his handicap debut. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
By Wootton Bassett and out of a sister to Oaks winner Was, he fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024; he can be forgiven his no-show in last month's soft-ground Derby and his previous second at Haydock (first-time cheekpieces retained since) was behind a stablemate who went on to finish close up in the Queen's Vase; respected. |
10/1 |
|
13th 13 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Having fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024, he is the most expensive yearling colt ever sold at auction in Europe; by Wootton Bassett out of a sister to Oaks winner Was; on the other hand, he was left nearly 9l behind by Bay Of Brilliance at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in October and sported cheekpieces at 10-1 when a front-running second of four to a stablemate in Haydock novice (1m4f, good to firm) in April; admirably tenacious in the latter but the dream was once of so much more. |
200/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran to a modest level in novices on good to soft ground last autumn (7f and 1m1f); upped in trip and tried in headgear for his reappearance and this 4,300,000gns yearling remains capable of better. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of his three runs as 2yo, cheekpieces retained when runner-up in 1m3f Kempton maiden in December; subsequently gelded and this son of Dubawi can do better still on his handicap debut. |
4/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Always behind in Newbury contest (7f, good to soft; 9-2) but looks the sort to improve significantly, being a nicely bred colt who represents notable connections; upped in distance with headgear fitted. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Attainment level in handicaps not clarified by June's weakening 6l fourth here that perhaps owed more to racing wastefully than to the 1m2f (winners at that trip in immediate family); may learn more today. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well beaten at 80-1 or bigger on all three starts (7f-1m1f); however, she goes handicapping off a modest mark and her dam was useful; not discounted, and the betting could be informative. |
