6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
2-4 since joining Mick Appleby, notably a Class 2 handicap win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) in April; solid run at York three weeks ago and one for whom rain would be no concern. |

5th 15 (14) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on stable debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in February before good third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW), and he was back on the scoresheet in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last month; could continue to progress for his new connections; chance. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |
20/1 |

10th 9 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her record at Chelmsford reads 1223; her latest third was a well-beaten one, however, and more minor money may be her best hope. |

|
3rd 6 (5) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Good effort when second over C&D last month, her third run for this stable; not quite so good at Lingfield last time but the return of the tongue-tie could give her a lift. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took a while to open her account but is a dual 5f course winner this year; also suited by 6f but current mark demands a career-best effort and some of her 3yo rivals have more potential. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handicapper quick to ease off and he offered more back on turf last time, on just his second run at beyond sprint trips; lacked consistency to date but that gave something to build on. |
7/2 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He made a winning start for Stuart Williams when strong at the finish over 5f at Chelmsford in December; little to cheer since and hopes are pinned on the return to 7f/turf having a positive effect. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He made a winning stable debut in a 5f novice at Chelmsford in December but three handicap runs since have been underwhelming; the addition of a hood needs to give him a lift; stable also runs Expert Agent. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C&D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |
50/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |
