10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo but he's struggled in five runs for his current yard; now 19lb lower than for his opening mark but he has plenty to prove on this drop back in trip; headgear removed. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo; barely beat a rival in five handicap runs in 2025 (sold after the first of them) but he has tumbled down the weights and has his first run in 0-70 company with new headgear fitted; market confidence should be noted. |
10/1 |

8st 13lb |
AW novice success on final 2yo start; soundly beaten in three handicaps this season, leaving Charlie Appleby after first occasion; fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a big revival. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Quite useful (RPR 91) at up to 1m4f on Flat for previous yard but less solid on his form over further for current stable; still one of the better horses in this field, assuming he takes to hurdles. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Edging down weights for new yard; first three of those four runs were here and the second piece of form (2m, good; unraced on softer) gives him a chance. |
11/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Edging down the weights and the return to a more galloping track could help, but his claims aren't compelling based on what he's shown at Chester this year on his three starts for a new yard. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Plenty of ability but no win after six starts; hung badly left on reappearance in April and he was eased right down in July next time; gelded before 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield one month ago, in which he nearly redeemed himself but hanging left again did not help; dam won at up to 1m6f and he may yet come good, but there are clearly risks. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has plenty of ability but he looked an awkward ride when third of nine at Nottingham (1m2f) in April and he was eased right down on handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f; 9-4) in July; gelded since and may yet redeem himself back on AW, having run well here in the past. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Favourite for handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) and improved his rating again in third of nine off this mark, but hanging badly left in the final 2f interfered with his effort; likely to stay and still has potential if he's been straightened out in his 100-day absence. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed colt who has been runner-up in two starts since returning from an absence, most recently on handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) nine days ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner; returns to AW and he's a contender off the same mark. |
11/4 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
150,000euros yearling; unexposed colt who showed promise in novice events, including a clear second behind an impressive winner at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's an interesting contender. |
5/2 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Raced freely on debut last autumn; showed similar form when 3l fourth of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) three weeks later; bred to be useful and commands respect after nearly nine months off. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Not ideally positioned when close up in a competitive classified race at Ascot last week (7f); on a tough enough mark back in a handicap but Seamus Cronin's claim helps in that respect. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in July and followed up at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) seven days later; there's a suspicion he's gone off the boil but he was badly hampered when making headway at Newbury last Wednesday and is not written off. |
11/1 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins in July (1m, good to firm) triggered a sharp rise in the weights and his new mark is looking troublesome; the return of Seamus Cronin's claim will at least help in that respect. |

On the up with a pair of 1m4f wins last summer but has unconvincing form figures this term, albeit met trouble in the Ebor latest; takes a marked drop back in trip now and still needs to prove he can defy a mark in the 90s. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Belatedly confirmed his debut promise when running away with maiden at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on reappearance, clocking a good time in the process; he was well backed that day and looks open to further improvement now tackling a handicap; might be the answer. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Progressive sort who bids for a hat-trick under a 6lb penalty after two wins at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack); finished runner-up here (8.6f,) in March and hard to dismiss in his current mood. |
13/8 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Generally progressive gelding who made it 2-5 in handicaps when surging clear over C&D 13 days ago; up 8lb but he still looks feasibly treated and is a major player again for in-form yard. |
11/10 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortable win with hood removed on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in December; held in his three runs since but his second at Wolverhampton was a creditable effort in March and he was drawn widest when sixth of 14 at Kempton last time; holds major claims. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed 3yo who won on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has been knocking on the door in both runs since; up another 2lb but she was only beaten a nose at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and is open to more progress; key player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won readily by 5l on last month's handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and might have been a shade unlucky not to folliow up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks later; moves up in trip today and could still have lots more to offer; good chance. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful pedigree (bred to stay 1m2f) and she's been a big improver from a very low starting point; hooded on last two outings, last time always front rank when justifying 6-5 favouritism by 5l in a six-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) on handicap debut; up 10lb and probably has more to give. |

Bounced back with fair third at Brighton (7f, good) last month but he hasn't backed that up in two subsequent runs and is now 0-10; down the list. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Kept on for very respectable third over C&D (good) last month and has claims if judged on that performance but he was unable to land a telling blow when upped to 1m here a fortnight later and is now 0-9. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Couple of costly defeats in early summer before blowing out on good to soft ground last month; signs he might be about to get it together when third over C&D a fortnight ago, however, and has possibilities. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Dual Flat winner for Ollie Sangster, including at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last May; has mostly been hurdling for this yard and he's been getting better in that sphere, a June win followed by solid second the following month; last two Flat starts for this stable will need improving on, however, and soft ground generates a query. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Converted a realistic opportunity at Newton Abbot latest (2m6f, good) for a first hurdling win in five tries; penalty demands more, but a tidier round of jumping than any to date could unlock further improvement. |
