22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

All four wins when trained by Mick Appleby; below par on turf recently and has a bit to prove on this return to AW; first-time hood goes on alongside returning tongue-tie. |

Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |

Zoustar half-brother to winners Silent Echo (6f/7f including AW; RPR 107), Quietly Confident (French 6.5f AW; 79) and Deference (Spanish 1m1f); dam 1m 2yo winner (93); makes paper appeal and would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's fancied. |

50,000gns gelded son of Caravaggio out of a mare from a good family; the betting should help guide to expectations with this one on debut. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Showed ability for Andrew Balding but sold cheaply in October 2024 and hasn't been seen since; best watched on stable debut. |
33/1 |
|
13th 8 (3) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions. |
14/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f). |
10/1 |
|
12th 17 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 15 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better. |

This son of Time Test cost 4,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to 1m/1m2f winner Zara's Return (RPR 82); dam French 1m AW winner; likely best watched on debut. |

6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Left all previous form behind when an emphatic winner over C&D (soft; made all) in April and her odds-on failure at Doncaster came the following week; had a break since and probably still on a fair mark; fast ground would be a first for her. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
2nd May 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Took a marked step forward from her previous efforts (behind Solar Bentley at Wolverhampton) when making all to score emphatically at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last week; is 4lb well-in under her 6lb penalty, so likely to take some stopping if in the same mood. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of some fair form but this low-mileage 6yo has yet to offer much in three runs this summer and failed to beat a rival in five-runner handicap at Bath (5.5f) two weeks ago; blinkers go on for the first time. |
40/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
12-race maiden; not disgraced when fifth of seven behind Nordic Glory here (5f, firm) on seasonal debut in May but a lesser effort over C&D followed and others in this field have much stronger claims; tongue-tie removed after one use. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but he was a close-up third in a classified event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last August; fifth of seven here over 5f on his reappearance and may come on for that; tongue-tie added. |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
