6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Proved unable to complete a turf four-timer but quickly regained the winning thread at Southwell (1m, AW; shade comfortably) last time, taking record in handicaps to 4-6; progressive 3yo who may not have reached his ceiling yet; warrants respect upped further in grade. |

20th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nothing in his first four starts on AW, but won his first three starts over 1m on turf this summer; only fourth of 12 off this mark in his bid for the four-timer at Newmarket (1m, good) 16 days ago (fifth has won since), but too early to suggest the handicapper has his measure albeit he has to prove himself back on the AW. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Close third behind Starshiba and Miami Thunder in similar event over C&D when last seen ten weeks ago, doing well considering he perhaps didn't have the ideal track position; gelded since (hasn't always looked straightforward); retains low mileage and may do better still; possibilities. |
4/1 |

10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner who ran poorly on his handicap debut at Chester (1m2f) but got back on track with a close third at Newcastle (1m); gelded since and Buick is booked, so one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't need to improve on earlier efforts to win a 1m maiden at Ayr last month (made all as the 2-7 favourite); ran poorly at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; better than that but he needs to bounce back quickly; visor off. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |
40/1 |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner who has dropped to a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last May; he could improve for this month's reappearance run over C&D but he failed to threaten, which was also the case on his final few outings last season; needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |
|
9th 14 (12) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Below par in 2025 after winning at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May; now 1lb lower but this is a warm race for his reappearance and he'll have to be right at the top of his game. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Possibly in need of his two runs this season and may bounce back at some stage; however, hasn't progressed from his turf win (off 4lb higher) in summer 2022 and chance partly depends on whether this switch to AW provides a boost. |
16/1 |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Appeared to need his belated reappearance and may be back in better form with that outing under his belt; competitively handicapped, having gained sole win off this mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |
20/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All five wins have been on good or slower including over C&D; hasn't been at his best this season but there have been some respectable efforts and he didn't get the breaks in a hot seller at Chester (5l third of eighth) 12 days ago; continues to drop down the weights and he could be dangerous back in a handicap. |
8/1 |
|
7 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

All five wins have been on good or slower ground, but he hasn't been at his best this year and was beaten 7l in a Class 4 handicap here (7f, good) last Friday; down the list. |

Thrice-raced filly; didn't remain with Charlie Appleby for long, despite winning easily at Southwell (1m, AW) when last seen 19 months ago; sold for 72,000gns last November; it remains to be seen whether she can progress further but market support should be heeded. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 1lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |
