19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner who opened his turf account in C&D contest (good to firm) against his elders last time; has a solid overall record and may show further improvement, especially kept to this scenario; major contender. |
11/4 |
|
1st 10 (2) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m maiden winner on the AW; has run well in all four handicaps, the latest at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) where he had a wide trip but kept on to be only 3l off the winner; the first-time cheekpieces worn there are removed; respected. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 (17) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Close third over C&D in June on second handicap start (good; Get Outta Here second) and filled the same position at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, albeit no match for the first two; he might have an each-way shout in first-time cheekpieces. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Always prominent to justify favouritism on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April; languished in rear, contrastingly, for most of the race at Windsor (11.4f, good) 19 days ago but started to pass rivals over 1f out and finished second of seven; 1m6f beckons strongly after that performance, so he could have more to give. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well held at big prices in three 2yo runs but he looked a different proposition when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this new trip; big player for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Looked a work in progress in three 2yo runs, showing his best form on the second occasion (1m, good to soft); looks sure to improve for 1m2f on paper and he returns with his stable going well. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished around 17l behind Abundant at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago, but had previously shown promise in two starts over 7f on Polytrack; probably frame material at best, though. |
33/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed up promisingly in front for most of last month's Lingfield Polytrack debut, but couldn't consolidate that effort at Chelmsford since, sweating up and hanging (both 7f); hopes likely rest with the encouragement on pedigree as regards both 1m and the switch to turf. |
16/1 |
|
2 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Represents stable not known for 2yo winners and was 50-1 for recent debut at Lingfield (7f) but put in a fairly good front-running shift before fading into fifth and evidently has ability. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
3yo who has been unplaced on his three starts for Mick Appleby and is now 0-9 but last time was a step back in the right direction and he continues to drop down the weights; could come good at some point. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on both starts for new stable this summer (1m4f/1m3f) and now 0-8 overall; may yet come good form Michael Appleby but it takes a leap of faith to support him on this drop back in trip. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Had his chances on the AW for Charlie Johnston last winter prior to being picked up for 45,000gns; Galway on his debut for new connections looked a punt and so it proved, with him well beaten; needs a deal more on his handicap debut. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A maiden after nine runs but bettered low-key stable debut when keeping-on second in Wolverhampton classified (first attempt at 1m4f) last month and won't be far away if in similar form again here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Seven-race maiden who was placed twice in similar company over 1m2f on turf for William Knight in June, but showed little on stable debut at Ayr (1m2f, good) this month; needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
10th 11 (12) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win for William Knight (0-7), beaten at odds-on at Yarmouth (1m2f classified) on final start for that trainer; visor (worn twice) has yielded some improvement; wise to monitor this 7,000gns purchase on stable debut. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well. |
13/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last October on second start and followed up in Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in March; only seventh of 14 when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago but he should retain potential. |

Winless this season but he comes here in good form, not enjoying a smooth passage with fourth of six in 1m3f seller at Goodwood last month; very much one to consider from his low berth. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Ordinary form in three runs for Ralph Beckett last autumn over shorter trips; blinkers tried for yard debut and upped markedly in trip. |
16/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Near-6l third at Ffos Las latest represented only the tiniest step forward on RPRs, but she didn't fail for stamina upped to 7.5f on heavy ground there; yard has had a clutch of 2yos with prior experience hitting the mark already this month, and she remains of real interest accordingly. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well-bred filly who wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine on recent debut at Lingfield (7f, AW), having been rather sluggish in the early stages; needs to improve here but has very obvious potential. |

Poor form in handicaps this year and the addition of cheekpieces is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seemingly exposed as ordinary, the step up to 1m2f not making any difference last time; is a half-sister to a couple of winning stayers, but that's rather clutching at straws. |
25/1 |

9th 4 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest at best as 2yo (best effort on second start) but tenth of 12 on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (AW; 80-1); having dropped back to 7f that day, she now tries a new trip. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke through in a 1m4f selling handicap at Beverley (85-40 favourite; from 5lb lower) in July; gave her best when losing out in a tight finish at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) subsequently; now returns to AW (0-2), with her pedigree suggesting she should cope with 2m; a possible. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when justifying favouritism in a Beverley handicap (1m4f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb, but that was a dominant display and this well-bred filly has fast and soft ground winners on the dam's side of her pedigree; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 7 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took a big step forward in first-time cheekpieces with third at Lingfield (11.5f) in May but she beat only one in 1m4f Epsom handicap 27 days ago; well in the mix if back on song here. |
4/1 |
