3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player. |

Prominent racer; did best of the group to race on the stands' side when third in a 5f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; well handicapped on last summer's best and he has a good record at Bath; shortlisted. |

3rd 5 (7) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April. |

10st 0lb |
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 |

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. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well. |

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 |

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. |

5th 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

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. |
