2nd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Looked useful when winning 6f Ascot novice (soft ground) for Hugo Palmer just under a year ago but this year's Flat form has been very disappointing; last of ten in Class 5 handicap when upped to 8.3f for recent stable debut; has a lot to prove on hurdle debut; tongue-tie fitted. |

10th 7 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Landed 6f Ascot novice (soft) for Hugo Palmer last September; little to shout about since but his mark has tumbled as a result and Adam Nicol does well with new recruits (same owners); one to keep an eye on in the betting. |
33/1 |

13th 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Landed 6f Ascot novice in September but there's not been much to enthuse about since and he came in last of 13 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

3rd 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner last autumn; has been running respectably in 7f/1m handicaps without looking ahead of her mark; now moves up in distance (sister won up to 1m2f); should be thereabouts. |
9/4 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has started her handicap career with solid placed efforts at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m, good); likely to go well again |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) last October on second start; mid-division in Listed race later that month and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and this step up to 1m could prompt further improvement; lots to like. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt with a last-gasp win in a Wolverhampton handicap (7f, AW; 18-1) last month; 2lb higher back up in trip, but that was a brave success and he showed plenty of promise on turf last season including when fourth in a valuable sales race at Newmarket; respected. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far in a couple of sales races last autumn; not as good in two runs back, getting turned over at odds-on round Redcar before not seeing out 8.6f here early last month, and will need plenty more on this handicap debut. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Finished second in a Southwell novice last July on only AW start; has since shown decent form in various company at up to 7f on turf, with both blinkers and cheekpieces tried; sets the standard but he was only third at 8-11 at Redcar last time so probably vulnerable again. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) a year ago and has twice gone close in handicaps since returning in March, the latest when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) 16 days ago; up 2lb but still high on list. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Newly gelded; had excuses with one thing and another this year; this mark looks within range and there are positives back on the AW, and under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a decent record for the yard; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who went close when dropped back to 6f at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when fourth at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; might be better by a stiffer 6f than this but could have a say if aided by refitted cheekpieces. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
It has been a real struggle since joining this yard; he's now plummeting down the weights but still requires last month's wind operation to have made a substantial difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner on final 2yo start for previous yard; has achieved little in turf handicaps this term and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely; drops to Class 6. |
14/1 |
