10th 9 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Generally in good form, mostly on AW, for current stable and latest effort is best forgiven (race didn't pan out favourably); not disgraced in most recent turf attempt but is still seeking a first success in this sphere and is somewhat hostage to fortune the way he races. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he went close in his bid for a double at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; never involved back on turf at Ascot in May but he started slowly and was hampered at a crucial stage; now goes back up in grade but he has possibilities back on Tapeta. |
15/2 |

5th 4 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Beat a very useful filly at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and was conceding weight to a promising colt when not quite up to the task at Kempton (7f, AW) where some tail-swishing didn't go unnoticed; remains capable of better for a yard that's won this three times and their winner last year was also a thrice-raced handicap debutante. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
5th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Near miss at Yarmouth on debut (7f, good) before making all at Windsor 16 days ago (1m, good to firm; front two well clear of the third); penalty against male opponents demands more but she's clearly blessed with a good deal of ability. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
350,000gns yearling; half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Cachet; 4-1 for her Yarmouth debut over 7f (good) in April where she never settled but to her credit found plenty in the closing stages to go very close against the well-regarded winner; the extra furlong should suit; major player. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner (7f, good) who won on AW at Newcastle in December, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 11l when sixth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's still 6lb higher than for his last win; regular hood is removed. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |
6/1 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |

Four-time AW winner; 0-7 on turf but ran respectably (fifth of 17) in Class 2 contest at the Doncaster St Leger meeting most recently and has slipped to an attractive mark on best form; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
5th 13 (12) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

20/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been on Newcastle AW but he's still lightly raced on turf; finished in mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) last time but he was runner-up in a Class 3 there (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

9st 9lb |
Landed the odds in Wolverhampton maiden (6f) on stable debut in October, but he's finished down the field in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he pulled hard over C&D last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

1 (3) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some promise without getting seriously competitive in two starts for Charlie Appleby last year (started as favourite on debut); since gelded and changed hands for 18,000gns in July; returns from a lengthy absence and the market should be a good guide on his debut for this trainer. |

Course regular with two of his three wins being over C&D; shaped encouragingly when third of 13 here (7f) last month and takes a drop in class; place claims. |
4/1 |

3rd 14 (10) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Conditions shouldn't be an issue (two course wins have come at 1m but does have a 7f win on his record) and he is on his last winning mark; needs to step up on this summer's efforts though. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Course regular who won this race last year off 4lb lower; won again over C&D in January and secured a third success when bagging Lingfield handicap (7f, Polytrack) in April; now just 1lb higher after three lesser efforts and he's not readily dismissed. |

7th 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown ability, in particular when just over 2l fourth here (6f, AW) in a fillies' novice event in July; below par on turf here latest and has since had wind surgery; tongue-tie now goes on; initial mark looks fair if she can return to the form of that second start; possible player. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Shaped with promise at a massive price on Kempton debut (7f, AW) in June and she built on that with a creditable fourth from off the pace here (6f, AW) last month; needs to find more progress but she has a good pedigree and this step back up in trip looks a positive; not ruled out. |

9st 6lb |
Made all for a 5l win at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) in August but that was a golden opportunity in a maiden and he flopped back in a handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; still lightly raced but that was a major blip last time and he needs to bounce back. |

9st 3lb |
0-5 and has hung when going close this summer on his first two handicap starts (9.4f/1m2f, AW); needs to prove he can get the job done but he's a leading form contender today; showed promise on turf on debut in May; first-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn the last twice. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Has turned the corner with two quick 6f wins under this rider last week; was 5lb well-in when winning here a week ago (heavily backed); travelled well just behind the speed then, so maybe 5f will be okay given the form he's in at present, and well drawn for the hat-trick bid. |
7/4 |

1st 11 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Fair effort in a 5f Navan handicap before running out a very decisive winner of a 6f handicap at Fairyhouse on Monday (Coincidental Glory third); went up 12lb for that but just has the mandatory 7lb to carry this evening; hard to beat if coming here in the same form. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made most when winning over 7f at Chelmsford on August's handicap debut; only sixth at Chelmsford off this mark three weeks ago but he pulled hard early and that isn't the run to judge him on; should be quick enough to deal with the return to 6f and Tom Marquand has just his third ride for the stable this year (one was a 40-1 winner); open to further progress. |

6th 8 (3) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Stepped up on his novice form when making most of the running in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him in time but it won't be easy dominating in this more competitive race. |

Hint of ability after getting knocked sideways at the start on Newbury debut (7f, good to soft); well held on AW after but came through strongly to lead near the line on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) in June; up 2lb and this stiffer test back on turf can suit; improve. |

20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Hasn't built on a fair Newbury debut but was drawn wide on Polytrack last time and this half-sister to multiple AW winner Papa Stour starts handicap life at a sensible level; should do better for a yard operating at a decent strike-rate on the AW this year. |
