16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three 2m wins on AW in the first half of last year; last success was off 4lb higher but the wheels have come off since the autumn and he was tailed off at Kempton (after another wind op) last month; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times on the AW in the first half of last year, the latest over C&D from 1lb higher in June; the wheels appear to have come off since the autumn, but he returns from three months off after a second wind operation; interesting to see how he fares. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood in June and followed up in the Ladies' Derby over C&D (good to firm); however, he seems to have gone off the boil on his three runs since; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
New cheekpieces when he went back-to-back over 1m4f at Goodwood and Epsom but his form has dipped; effect of the headgear might be wearing thin. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

Has made his name on the AW, winning five times at 2m; arrives here in good nick and he's not had all that many chances on turf. |

8th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won low-grade 2m AW handicap on latest outing in October but hasn't run over hurdles since 33l defeat on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in February last year, and his profile is somewhat unconvincing. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Can front-run; 7yo who has had 16 starts, with his sole win coming over this C&D in April 2021; off since below-form third of five at Lingfield (2m, AW) in June and others are preferred. |

9st 7lb |
A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f, good to firm) in 2025; back to form with a run behind him when second of seven over 1m6f at Nottingham (good) three weeks ago; should go well. |

A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f) in 2025; off seven months before beating one in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 29 days ago but should strip sharper here. |

AW Flat winner for Ralph Beckett in 2021; modest efforts at triple-figure odds in three runs over hurdles; improvement likely on handicap/stable debut. |

Useful in his pomp over middle distances on AW Flat but the last time he accomplished anything significant was December 2021; had wind surgery after latest start and is also now tongue tied first time. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Three-time AW winner, including twice abroad; placed in all three starts since rejoining Mick Appleby and should go well again with no questions over his stamina. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Back with his old yard following a spell in France and has run a couple of solid races in defeat for them off a career-low mark, albeit he's enjoyed the run of things each time; boasts a patchy record round here but enters calculations. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Rejoined Mick Appleby before reappearing with a good second at Yarmouth (1m6f, good) 12 days ago; has a patchy profile but he's on the same mark as last time and his last win was over nearly 2m in France (AW) in March; respected with Oisin Murphy booked. |

His Flat four-timer in 2017 culminated in a success over C&D; won four times over hurdles in 2021/22, but his efforts under both codes since the start of last year, including three outings for this yard, don't suggest the veteran will be winning this. |
