7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (14) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair. |

1st 4 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) in September off just 3lb lower and final three defeats for Mick Appleby were over further; could go well if ready for action after his break. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 6lb |
Flat winner on fast ground for David O'Meara; huge odds and well held in three maiden hurdles for this yard at 2m-2m1f; potential improver stepped up in trip for handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
13th 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner has been soundly beaten at long odds in maiden hurdles at Killarney and Ballinrobe; will do better when handicapping. |
80/1 |

Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
The last of four Flat wins was over this trip at Sandown last summer (good; 5lb lower); has since racked up a solid sequence over hurdles; in form, consistent and respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful four-time Flat winner at up to 1m6f; the penalty contributed to his undoing at Stratford last time (2m2f, soft) but he's proving consistent over hurdles and won't mind getting back on less testing ground; can lead. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won four times on the Flat up to 1m6f and got off the mark over hurdles on his second start at Warwick (2m, good) in November; has continued to run well since, running his best race when third in a Listed contest at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January; should have no issues with the step up in trip and sets the standard. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has posted good efforts in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and 1m3f Group 3 at Carlisle this term, maintaining her solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; new rating gives her a leading chance in this field. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improving with virtually every run, and was even better than the bare result when second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good; came from a long way back) four weeks ago; up in grade again but still has more in the tank and not to be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Proved most progressive last season when a dual 1m4f AW handicap scorer in the autumn; steps up in grade here but she's capable of further improvement. |
14/1 |
Verdict
The 1m6f Sandown 3yo handicap SCARLET MOON won last month looks solid form so he’s narrowly preferred to last-time-out course scorer Ancient Myth. [Andrew Sheret]
