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. |

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; the tongue tie is new. |

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. |
50/1 |

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. |
14/1 |

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. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

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. |

13th 5 (4) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

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. |

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. |

9st 11lb |
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. |

Showed promise on the Flat for Karl Burke, but hasn't shown much in three runs over hurdles, including on first run after wind surgery last time; this better ground may suit but plenty to prove. |
