4th 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |
7/2 |

8th 1 (9) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Highly tried last year; has shown this mark is within range since handicapping this season, including from wide stalls at Chester; again might have been better drawn on this AW debut (dam did her winning for the yard on turf) in first-time headgear. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
His 2yo career ended with a close second in a big-field York handicap (6f, good to firm; River Spey a hampered fourth) but this year's form, including at Windsor last time, leaves him with something to find. |
33/1 |
|
4th 10 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Progressive 2yo, rounding off 2025 with a fine second at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); only sixth in his two starts this year but he has not been ridden as prominently as last year; on a good mark and a revival could be forthcoming. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Showed fair winning form at 2yrs and he returned from eight months off with an encouraging sixth of 14 in 5f Thirsk handicap 29 days ago, keeping on late; not out of things with that run under his belt. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden; one of his best efforts came over C&D (good to soft) last summer and yard has won two of the last five runnings but this one needs to improve on his handicap form so far, most recently when bleeding from the nose in June; now hooded. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two good runs this season, latterly when keeping-on second in Haydock handicap (7f, soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again here, and significant rain will increase his appeal. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last year by finishing well held on his C&D handicap debut; slightly more encouraging signs when 4l fourth of eight on 6f Newcastle reappearance three weeks ago but he'll need to build on that, stepping back up to 7f. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all for 6f maiden win as 2yo; best form of 2026 when second of six at Sandown (7f) last month but he didn't repeat it there next time on return from wind surgery and has had a few chances off similar marks now. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Matched the pick of his 2yo form when second over C&D (good to firm) last month but he was beaten 4.5l so needs to build on that; has subsequently had wind surgery; Oisin Murphy was on board last time but seemingly prefers Desert Shadow on this occasion. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has beaten only three rivals in her three runs over 6f; steps up in trip on handicap debut and more is required from her. |

11th 5 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Finished lame when last of seven in one run for Michael Appleby last summer; 100-1, offered little immediate promise when beaten a long way (behind Dreamadera) at Leicester for her new yard recently. |
100/1 |
|
12th 13 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
28-1, weakened into a well-beaten last of seven in maiden at Ayr (6f, good) last June and reportedly finished lame; has left Mick Appleby. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Lightly raced filly who couldn't get going quickly enough on handicap debut over 6f at Carlisle but was struggling from a fair way out when upped to 1m at Musselburgh in June; others more likely for the win. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Found things happening too quickly before eventually keeping on for fairly respectable sixth of nine on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, good) a week ago; could plausibly be seen in a better light over this longer trip. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple-figure odds for all three starts (6f, good to firm/good) and hasn't achieved much; however, she now goes handicapping off a basement mark and she's from a family her trainer has done well with; could go well. |
