10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
None too consistent for Hugo Palmer last year but he is well treated on his best form; sold for 24,000gns last October; likely best watched back at 7f after 287 days off. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won in good style here (1m, good) in April on his handicap and seasonal debut; has failed to progress but gelded since last time and the return to the Rowley Mile could give him a boost. |

Showed fairly useful form in the spring, including reappearance win, and last two efforts can be excused; however, still needs to prove he can defy this sort of mark. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |

C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (15) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good effort in the Britannia at Royal Ascot is flanked by two Ascot wins, latest in big field on King George day (1m, good) when taking form figures to 123131; progressive and very solid. |
11/2 |

1st 8 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well. |

Godolphin runner who is 0-3 since handicapping but posted a good effort (neck second over 1m2f) at Newmarket most recently and that form is working out nicely; possibilities despite going up 4lb. |

4th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of his first three 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Thirsk in September (7f, good to soft); looked to find 1m an inadequate test here on his reappearance 17 days ago (first run since a gelding operation) and can do better over today's longer trip. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden (1m3f, AW; 30-100) in August, but held in three starts back in handicaps since (in blinkers last time); has raced freely, but he may settle better in a bigger field and this race has gone to a 3yo three times in the last six years. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

Only 1-8 and disappointed at Windsor (1m3f; raced freely) when the return to soft ground was expected to benefit; however, could settle better in the new blinkers and he is a course winner. |

10st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a second at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; competes off same mark and will be a tough nut to crack if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in an AW juvenile novice in December 2024; has ran well to be third on both starts this year at Bath and Salisbury; this also represents a class drop and he shouldn't be far away. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer (can front run) who won three times last year, twice at Doncaster (1m) and at York (1m, good); reappeared from 203 days off with a solid effort at Newmarket (1m, good) last month but he was withdrawn after becoming upset in the stalls at Doncaster on his last intended start. |

Front-runner who won twice over C&D last summer and he defied this mark when beating 15 rivals at York last September; reappeared with a creditable fourth at Newmarket last month and he's a big player if he can build on that. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ended last season firmly on the up with gutsy success in 1m4f Newmarket handicap in October; this low-mileage son of Sea The Stars has more to offer in 2026 and is well in the mix despite dropping in trip and up 6lb for his return. |
11/4 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Gelded in May and firmly back on track with waiting tactics at Redcar (second) and Sandown (last-gasp win) on next two outings, both 1m2f on good to firm; raced more prominently when soundly beaten at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f) on latest outing; needs to resume improvement over new trip. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine. |
6/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good. |

1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo but he's struggled in five runs for his current yard; now 19lb lower than for his opening mark but he has plenty to prove on this drop back in trip; headgear removed. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo; barely beat a rival in five handicap runs in 2025 (sold after the first of them) but he has tumbled down the weights and has his first run in 0-70 company with new headgear fitted; market confidence should be noted. |

10th 11 (11) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
AW novice success on final 2yo start; soundly beaten in three handicaps this season, leaving Charlie Appleby after first occasion; fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a big revival. |
