1st 9 (9) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner off 8lb higher in December; chased home Split Elevens here last month but not quite so good back here four weeks ago; apprentice takes off a useful 5lb; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not at his best of late, but has dropped 8lb lower than when successful over C&D in January; needs a resurgence, but is too well handicapped to ignore. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
2-4 over 7f for this stable last year but made a low-key return over that trip in May and is not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
16/1 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins (one on turf at Doncaster) and a second from his four starts for new stable last season, all in 7f handicaps; failed to settle last time, yet still challenged strongly in the final 1f and left the impression he remains capable of better. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 2-3 this season for new stable, the latest performance over C&D (won going away) back on AW; may have even more to offer for Mick Appleby; respected. |

13th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to winners Shrewd Approach (7f 2yo; RPR 72), Gossip (5f AW; 66), Valley Belle (5.5f-8.5f GB AW 2yo/Italy; 60) and Sharac (US 5.5f AW); dam 6f-7.5f winner (including GB 2yo/UAE/France/AW; 102) out of 1m winner; not the most appealing of pedigrees, but stable has a fine record with 2yo newcomers and has been particularly successful with them in recent weeks; market informative |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded another good C&D effort when third of 12 just before Christmas; not in the same form when fifth of six over 1m here nine days later but he's capable of bouncing back. |
7/2 |
|
9 (11) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins on Polytrack including two over C&D, the latest in July; again ran well when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago, but he has an awkward draw. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 5yo; tried blinkered and tongue tied when last of eight in 1m Southwell handicap in October on his final run for Paul Attwater; lots more is required for his new yard. |
14/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 for three different trainers in a little under two years; ran well when fourth of nine on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in July but has been off another four months since; needs more for the new headgear combination. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Had a near miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last August and not beaten far into fourth at Newcastle nine days later; not so good twice after and he has his stamina to prove now returning from 237 days off. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15 but he had a near-miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month before a close fourth over C&D when not a lot went right; looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse on slow ground at Hamilton last time; not ruled out back on AW. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner over 7f for his previous stable but was third over this trip at Windsor in September; well held in both starts since returning from a break and first-time blinkers now replace cheekpieces; dropped another 3lb. |
14/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

A three-time 7f winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024; largely in good form for his current yard last term so he's no forlorn hope on his return. |

Holds weak claims on his AW form (four attempts) but this switch to turf may prompt improvement, with Lingfield reappearance under his belt; one of two interesting runners for Jonathan Portman. |

Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |
11/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Only 2lb higher than for his Chester win in June; three heavy defeats have followed though and others look much safer; cheekpieces back today. |

9th 3 (6) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

13th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off 11-4 for his Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) in September, but ran green and ended up sixth of the seven runners since when he has been gelded; bred to be better than that and respected for stable that is 63-192 (33%) here in past five seasons; cheekpieces are given a go. |

Fifth foal; brother to top connections' 6f-1m winner Wild Beauty (including Canadian 2yo Grade 1), half-brother to winners including Desert Wisdom (UAE 1m Group 3) and Swift Rose (6f 2yo/UAE Oaks second); dam 7f Listed winner; plenty to like on paper and he's one to consider on debut. |

9st 9lb |
Well back on first two 7f starts but a more prominent ride, the fitting of blinkers (retained) and the step up to 1m showed her in a much better light over C&D in January where she stuck her neck out to hang on to second behind a Godolphin winner; competitive on switch to a handicap. |

7-2 for her Doncaster debut (7f, soft) in September, but ran green and only beat one home; half-sister to a couple of AW winners and could fare better now returning from three months off, but she will need to from her high draw. |
