3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins in handicaps (6f and 5f) this season, the latest on heavy going at Haydock last week; more on his plate in a competitive Listed race. |

1st 3 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Saw off All Ways Glamorous to land this race on good to soft 12 months ago; smart handicap performance when a clearcut winner at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; hasn't fully confirmed that improvement in strong races since but he shaped quite well (briefly not clear run) when keeping-on fifth of 21 in the recent Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); can make a bold bid to defend his crown. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won easily at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June but he was hit hard for that success and has come up short in some goood sprint handicaps since; a similar fate could be on the cards this time. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Gelded after Musselburgh success (5f) in July; has remained in form, respectable sixth of 24 in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f) most recently; still well handicapped on 2yo achievements. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A fairly useful 5f scorer for Michael Appleby; shaped well for her new yard when placed in 5f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Nottingham in the spring but beat only one over C&D in May; freshened up since and no surprise to see her play a prominent role. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; successful three times for previous yard and beaten only half a length in both starts for new stable, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is perhaps worth exploring; in-form filly who warrants respect. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three turf wins, including over C&D, for previous yard; close second to Layla Liz when favourite at Wolverhampton (5f) on AW/stable/seasonal debut, doing well having come from a difficult position; could well reverse the placings and go one better. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won the Woodcote at Epsom's Derby meeting (6f, good to soft); struggled afterwards but back on track with a near miss off 3lb lower at Chester (5f, soft); that was a Class 4 and this is a Class 2, so likely to need more. |

towards rear, headway against rail halfway, soon short of room and slightly hampered, rallying over 1f out, went second inside final furlong, kept on well final 110yds, just held |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Trained by Richard Fahey and Iain Jardine last year, winning on debut (5f, good) but failing to improve; no obvious promise on first run for current stable at Doncaster last month. |

9st 9lb |
Trained by Richard Fahey and Iain Jardine last year, winning on debut (5f, good) but failing to improve; gelded after final start; should be effective at 6f; has joined a formidable stable and should add to his tally at some point this season; worth monitoring in the market. |
