6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All five starts on the two Newmarket courses for Charlie Appleby, showing consistent form as a 2yo but virtually pulling up on his 3yo reappearance in 2024; makes his stable/AW debut after two years off having been picked up for 28,000gns in October; market crucial. |

Won 7f maiden here (good to firm) last September on third start and solid third here (7f, soft) next time on handicap debut; returns having been gelded and could have more to offer now up in trip for top yard; respected. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won races for two previous yards; started for this stable with a good third at Ayr (1m1f) in May but he's struggled since, including dropped to a claimer last time; has a bit to find on these terms even if bouncing back to the Ayr form. |
13/2 |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |

Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |

Three-time Kempton AW scorer who opened his turf account in May; subsequently consistent, mostly finishing fourth, including in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster last time; again has frame possibilities. |

Unraced here and three of his four wins have been at Kempton where he was a running-on fourth last time over 7f; won't mind returning to 1m and he has competitive turf form on slow and fast ground. |

0-11; has shown some ability and drops to this level for the first time, but he was beaten a very long way at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in his latest outing; blinkers removed; best watched. |
12/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; placed in a maiden at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last June but he's been well held in seven starts since; failed to beat a rival over 1m2f last time and blinkers are now tried. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two AW wins at 1m for previous yard and he has run to a fair level for this one, on AW and good to soft; on a handy mark now but needs to show he has the stamina for this stiff test back at 1m. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won with cheekpieces added at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in February but that was a seller and he's been well back in handicaps in three runs for his current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's untried at this trip and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark fully 15lb lower than when a close fourth over C&D last August; however, this regressive 5yo has struggled to get competitive this year; a first-time visor replaces a tongue-tie. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and his losing run stretches back 18 months; attracted support at Yarmouth last month (7f, good) but fared no better; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten on turf on his last two starts (soft/good to soft) but both of his wins have been over this C&D, the most recent when visored for the first time in February off a 7lb lower mark; could be more competitive back on this surface. |
33/1 |
|
10th 10 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins at 1m, the latest in February, but it's over two years since he achieved anything on turf and that was in a maiden; up against it. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Up and down on AW since these aids were fitted at the start of 2026, winning at Kempton and back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Lingfield in May (both 1m); no good thing to improve on poor efforts in two previous turf handicaps last year. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 0-7 since debut win but proved resurgent at Kempton (7f) most recently, finishing a close fourth of 14; possibilities, provided he builds on that effort. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (13) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Looked a useful prospect when winning on Newcastle debut (7f, AW) in September 2024 but he's had only six runs since and has finished in rear in four handicaps; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove after another break; blinkers return along with first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Useful form in his early outings but well held in three well-spaced-out starts in handicaps, the latest for this trainer; switch to cheekpieces will need to make a big difference. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |
6/1 |
|
1st 14 (18) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |
