9th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dam 7f winner (RPR 73), closely related to winners Perfect Venture (6f) and Perfect Bounty (6f/7f) out of half-sister to Listed winners Aahayson (6f) and Take Ten (5f UAE); stable has its share of winners first time out, but the outside stall is tricky for a newcomer. |

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. |

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. |

Out of sorts since December AW success, finishing in midfield at York (40-1) on return to turf last time; beginning to look well handicapped but needs a revival. |
40/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Campaigned exclusively on AW for current stable; out of sorts since December win; well handicapped on best turf form for previous yard, so has a good chance if the return to this sphere sparks a revival. |

9-2 when third of seven on debut in a steadily run contest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be suited by this extra furlong and better can be expected provided his wide draw isn't too much of a problem. |

Unplaced in four runs for Julie Camacho this year and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to earn him the vote. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 5 |

Won on debut for Charlie Appleby last May and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark; however, he's struggled since that debut win, including in handicaps the last twice, and a major turnaround is needed. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with victory at Newcastle (1m2f) in September but he's yet to fire this spring, only eighth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward despite a slipping mark. |

Won at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and by 4.75l at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last year; dropped away inside the final furlong at the latter track three weeks ago but may take a step forward from that first start for 189 days. |

Not without promise when fifth of nine on his debut here (1m) in February, but didn't build on it when beating one home over C&D last month; may be one for handicaps after this. |
