1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably. |
14/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful handicapper whose AW form this year for new yard features a 7f success in January and a creditable effort last time; effective on turf in the past but seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won with a bit in hand at Chelmsford (7f) on stable/seasonal debut; out of the money in two starts since but can't be written off yet; drops back in grade (attempted Class 2 latest). |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Disappointing at York last month but progressive otherwise this year, making it four wins for 2025 when scoring at Yarmouth in May; his current mark may not be beyond him if he can bounce back from last time. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five AW wins (at up to 1m) between last October and this March and back on the scoresheet at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May (form franked); another good run when third at Goodwood (1m, good) last time, when they went no pace; every chance he'll continue to improve. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on his warm spell (finishing positions 112) last summer; not in anything like the same form this year for new yard, however, and is best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two 7f wins for Mick Appleby last summer; back to his last winning mark but that is a result of showing little in three starts for current connections; only of interest if attracting support. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner last August (good ground; cheekpieces first time); three heavy defeats have followed and he comes here with plenty to prove. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (10) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off in two races since winning off 7lb lower at Newbury last August (1m; in first-time cheekpieces which are now absent); might be high enough in the ratings even if all the better for being gelded; absent since October. |
40/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won two of his first three handicaps and may have been undone by slower ground last time (drifted to 4-1; subsequently taken out of a race due to it being soft); perhaps best watched on AW debut, for all that his half-brother has won twice on Tapeta. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
First crack at sprinting when winning a Polytrack maiden three months ago (effort well advertised since); stiffer 6f should suit on his return to turf (stays 1m) but it's doubtful he's suddenly improved and he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has a few pieces of placed form; good second over C&D (good to firm) most recently, suggesting there may well be a race of this nature in him. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Placed in two novices; early days in handicaps and was too free on soft ground when favourite here two weeks ago; could be given another chance. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Winner of a 6f turf maiden and a 7f handicap as a 2yo for Warren Greatrex in 2024; didn't progress in his 2025 and having been bought for 4,000gns in October ran okay for a long way on yard debut here over a mile last month; drop in trip to suit and place claims. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Winner of a 6f turf maiden and a 7f handicap off 74 as a 2yo for Warren Greatrex in 2024; didn't progress in his 2025 starts; makes stable debut and probably best watched for the moment. |
22/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Raced on turf; won twice over 6f as a 2yo but has struggled in four handicap starts this summer; remains to be seen whether a switch to AW revives after seven weeks off. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a 1m handicap at Chelmsford last October; three modest efforts followed and the headgear is now dispensed with. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Two AW wins, the latest at Chelmsford off 2lb lower last October; not so good twice since and could prove vulnerable back against male opposition. |

1st 8 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a novice at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last October on final start for Kevin Philippart De Foy; ran well when third at Kempton (1m, AW) last month but she was beaten 8l at Yarmouth (1m, good) 17 days ago; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better record on Polytrack than turf and the handicapper's given him every chance, with him now 3lb lower than when not beaten far as favourite over C&D in January; looks set to go well back on the AW. |
7/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has a stronger record on AW than on turf but produced best effort in this sphere when third off 7lb higher over C&D last June; good chance if that form is repeated. |
11/2 |

6th 8 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Right back on track since undergoing wind surgery, a close third of eight in 1m handicap here in January; cheekpieces go on after a break and this C&D scorer can go well again. |
