31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Promising debut (good to firm) last August; bounded clear at Southwell next time and ended well on top at Kempton (again 1m4f, AW) in another novice in September; gelded since; cheekpieces all starts; dispatched some pretty useful rivals last time and looks an exciting handicap debutant. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Showed first bit of promise for this yard when a close third in a 1m4f soft-ground Limerick handicap in June, staying on late under tender handling; horse subsequently suspended for 60 days due to jockey being found not to have achieved best possible placing; Galway Hurdle winning trainer-jockey combination; could well be thereabouts. |

Seven-race maiden in Britain for Charlie Hills, runner-up in AW handicaps final two starts in 2024; yet to match that form in Ireland; only if interest if the market speaks in his favour. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Flat winner for Godolphin last September (1m4f; RPR 86) but well beaten in two good-quality Goodwood handicaps for new stable this year; could have a future over hurdles but is tricky to weigh up at present; visor removed after one use. |
7/1 |

9th 11 |
1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
1,500,000gns yearling but scored only once (1m4f; in cheekpieces) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; flopped in a 2m race on soft on final run for that yard and gave no immediate encouragement on yard debut in a competitive race here (2m, good) ten weeks ago, then refused to enter the stalls for a 1m4f race since; visor is added. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling but scored only once (over this trip) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; no immediate encouragement on his stable debut but that came in a competitive race here (2m, good) a fortnight go; drops back down in distance and might do better for a yard that's won this race for the last two years. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from a break with two creditable efforts on Tapeta (1m4f/2m) this spring but his form slumped back on turf at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has something to prove again after that and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

10th 6 (6) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Remains winless but he comes here in good nick, second of six in 2m Southwell handicap last month; effective at this shorter trip and needs considering eased 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking a first win after nine starts but he boasts some solid handicap form at up to 1m6f; satisfactory reappearance at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and that should have blown away any cobwebs; 2m presents a new challenge but it could unlock further progress. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
10st 5lb |
Roscommon maiden hurdle winner last August; soundly beaten in handicaps since and poor efforts on the AW in 2026; failed to beat a rival in 1m Dundalk claimer latest; others make more appeal. |
28/1 |

10th 2 (7) |
26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer. |
25/1 |

13th 5 (4) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner last year has run well enough in four Flat starts including on AW when trained in Britain; fair bit to find with Sir Callisto on recent C&D run, although that was seasonal debut so could improve; hood now re-fitted. |

9st 9lb |
Won two Southwell handicaps (1m4f, Tapeta) and a Worcester bumper for Archie Watson in 2024, but lightly raced since and had been off 250 days when well held on stable debut at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) in June; enough to prove back from another 82 days off. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 1m4f winner here who ran poorly when last seen eight months ago (was withdrawn a week later, when found to be coughing, which may have had something to do with it); interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

Ordinary hurdler/chaser who has struggled in 1m4f novice events at Southwell (200-1) in his last three runs; now goes up in trip on his Flat handicap debut but he needs to show a lot more; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Well-connected filly, by Galileo out of a two-time Listed winner at 1m4f and 1m3f; well held in two AW runs but she looked promising when fourth at Lingfield (1m3f, good; close behind a subsequent winner) on sole turf run, in August; capable of better now handicapping. |
