17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

10st 1lb |
Has added to his impressive tally with two further 5f wins this season but recent defeats suggest he's gone off the boil somewhat; dropped 2lb since last run but may need some more assistance from the handicapper. |

Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |

Front-runner who was found an ordinary Yarmouth handicap when winning easily in the spring; handicapper had his say for that and he finished well beaten behind Dream Composer upped in class at Epsom last time; yard also runs Rhythm N Hooves. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Consistent on turf from 6f to 1m this year; clung on by a head to land fifth win at Gowran Park (7f, good) nine days ago when well placed; should be in the mix off 5lb higher. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time winner but last win came in a claimer in 2024; some satisfactory efforts this season and the best of them came last time at Leopardstown (7f, good) when taking the runner-up spot; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (11) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
9st 3lb |
Last win came in a 1m Killarney claimer in 2024; fifth in a claimer last time at Bellewstown, only 24 hours after finishing fourth in a handicap at the same venue; overall handicap form has been satisfactory; needs to raise his game |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
7f AW scorer at two; disappointing favourite on final start for Charlie Appleby and failed to beat a rival over 6f here on debut for new stable; seems to be regressing; something to prove dropped further in trip. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Winning debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) for Charlie Appleby last November and went close on Haydock return in May but well held on handicap debut at Newmarket in June; makes stable debut after 118 days off having been sold for 30,000gns last month; drops in trip and worth a market check. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Odds-on favourite for her Kempton debut in November (7f) and she landed the money in good style; good second in a useful novice at Haydock four weeks ago (7f, good to firm) and she doesn't look overburdened for her handicap debut; more to come and strong claims. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo who ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton last month on second start for new yard, taking form figures over 6f on AW to 2113 and shaping as if this drop back to 5f won't be a problem; still open to further progress in this sphere; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
7th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice at Dundalk (6f, Polytrack) last winter, but held since returning on turf in May including when eighth of ten on stable debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) last month; return to the AW may help and cheekpieces are given a go, but others look more solid. |
