23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won the races one of his ability should; 4lb lower than for his winning start for Stuart Williams in January (7f, AW) but that wasn't a springboard to better things; sold for 8,500gns this month; goes without headgear on first run for Tony Carroll; not sure what to expect. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since returned to turf in May but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when close second off reduced mark at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; big player if in similar form here. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Won on the AW over 7f at Chelmsford in January on his stable debut but he's been below his best on turf in recent starts, including when last of six over 1m here last month; visor now applied. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins when trained by Mick Appleby; below par on turf recently and has a bit to prove on this return to AW; first-time hood goes on alongside returning tongue-tie. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) for Robert Cowell last autumn and he is thrown in on that form; not at his best for new yard this year and hopes rest on the return to sprinting reviving his fortunes. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-7 for new stable this season; outran 28-1 odds when placed at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and is now 4lb below that mark but his more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turned things around with a win at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month but he was only seventh of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (favourite); used to act on Polytrack; in-form yard also runs Split Elevens; inconsistent. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Unable to land a telling blow on first two stable starts but rewarded good market support when scoring by a neck at Southwell (7f) this month and remains well handicapped on older form; high on the list. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Repelled Happy Banner at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); had a wide trip when fourth off this 3lb higher mark at Kempton; hard to rule out; all turf runs on good or faster. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in two AW novice events in 2024 and 2025, and got off the mark at the seventh attempt when landing a handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June; he's lightly raced and unexposed over this trip, so could have more to offer. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promise in AW novices and on handicap debut when third at Doncaster (7f, good) last June; has since had wind surgery and should be sharper following his return from ten-month layoff when sixth of seven at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); another to consider. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden who has shown bits of promise; never figured last time, however, and needs some improvement to get off the mark. |
14/1 |
|
9th 12 (1) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made some late headway into fourth on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) and again failed to land a telling blow from off the pace at Wolverhampton (8.6f); still early days in handicaps and now tries cheekpieces over a trip that could suit. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed sort who made some late headway into fourth on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) two weeks ago; going back up in trip should suit and he's an interesting contender. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 7f course winner last year (good/good to soft); back on a good mark now but yet to build upon encouraging seasonal reappearance in April and not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came over C&D last year and has dropped 5lb lower than for the latest in September; modest effort at Southwell (7f, AW) last time, but still of interest returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |
11/4 |
