8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Gained most recent success in AW Vase race on Good Friday; has steadily got back into the swing of turf racing and went very close at Thirsk (7f) last Saturday, running at least as well as he's ever done; the signs are positive. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (13) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and achieved his best result of this turf season when close fourth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he might not be far away. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins were at 1m2f in 2024; good third off a reduced mark at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month but he was only fourth of six over C&D last time; that took his overall record to 2-32 and others are preferred. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) on second run since being gelded and he followed up in fine style at Newbury (1m, good to firm); up 9lb since last time but this progressive 4yo could still play a leading role. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (1m, AW), the latest a week ago; just 1lb wrong under his 5lb penalty and he remains unexposed, but fast ground is an unknown (best turf run on soft); stable also runs Distinct Spirit. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win last summer on his second start; similar form in defeat on his next two starts but he ended 2025 with a lesser effort and there was no revival on his reappearance at York (1m1f, good; first run since gelded; well backed) 19 days ago; dropped another 3lb and could benefit from the return to AW; still of interest. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Won a Beverley maiden over slightly shorter and then went close at Redcar (1m, good to soft) in his second handicap; retains some potential. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
A well-treated dual Tapeta winner at Newcastle who ran in a Class 2 there last time but that was his third below-par performance in succession; has to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Racing League handicap over C&D last summer off 2lb lower; not so good twice since and a personal best is required to maintain his unbeaten record over C&D. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging third at Sandown (1m, good) in July on second handicap start then beat 13 rivals to win in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, AW), where he reverted to hold-up tactics; he's a leading candidate today. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (10) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

3rd 4 (6) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive form in novice company last summer, winning at Pontefract before chasing home subsequent Group 1 winner Consent at Newbury (1m2f, good); only fifth in Listed company on her next outing but still ran to a useful level; possible soft ground was no good to her when last seen and she is an intriguing contender now switched to AW. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made all at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in June on second start then runner-up in Newbury novice (1m2f, good) in July behind a subsequent Group 2 runner-up; faded into fifth in Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) in August; the drop back to 1m could be just what she needs. |
3/1 |
|
9 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Hot favourite in June on her first two starts, making all at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) on second occasion; good front-running second to a promising sort in another novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month, with the front two drawing 11l clear, and further improvement can see her play a leading role at this higher level too. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Proved expensive to follow for James Owen on AW over the winter and he was tailed off back on turf here (1m2f, good) in April; down in the weights but he has a point to prove on his first run for Hayley Burton (same owner). |
14/1 |
|
13th 2 (13) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won AW maiden (about 1m1f) in France last spring; rather up and down over a range of trips for this yard, albeit this is easier than the two turf handicaps contested in Britain; hood refitted; reservations remain. |
