23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |

3rd 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins (one on turf at Doncaster) and a second from his four starts for new stable last season, all in 7f handicaps; failed to settle last time, yet still challenged strongly in the final 1f and left the impression he remains capable of better. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 2-3 this season for new stable, the latest performance over C&D (won going away) back on AW; may have even more to offer for Mick Appleby; respected. |
2/1 |
|
5 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Kevin Philippart De Foy early last year and defied an eight-month absence to make a successful stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; didn't back it up at Haydock (7f, good; took a keen hold) last month and needs to bounce back. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here. |
11/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Front-running third over C&D last month; ridden more patiently when only fifth behind Persuasion here 25 days ago; up in class and may prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since winning in first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D three months ago on second start for new yard and on AW; unexposed in this sphere and still has leeway in the handicap (peak mark was 16lb higher). |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In and out for George Scott this season but not disgraced over 7f at Chelmsford (AW debut) three weeks ago; can compete off a career-low mark so would have real possibilities if revitalised by a change of stable. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Drew a blank last year but came down the weights, won over 7f on AW in February and competitive over 1m in two recent outings; case can be made but others have a bit less to prove in this big-field scenario. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 8 (10) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Was back off the same mark as for his Chelmsford success (7f, Polytrack) in February when second of six at Bath (1m, firm) 13 days ago; back up 2lb but he can't be left out of calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game on AW on his last three starts but he won off today's mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February and his sole run here yielded a C&D win in May 2024; versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024; largely in good form for his current yard last term so he's no forlorn hope on his return. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has proved resurgent with two placed efforts on turf since wearing cheekpieces; still well treated on peak form, which has been achieved on AW; interesting back in this sphere. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins for his former yard came over 7f at Kempton; two runs for his new stable, showing he retained all his ability when second at Ffos Las ten days ago (7.4f, soft; cheekpieces first time); drops to 6f for the first time and it remains to be seen how he'll cope with it. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Record of 0-9 since debut success, albeit has been highly tried on occasions; not particularly solid on her form this term for new yard; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has been set some stiff tasks during her career but went off 33-1 for her last month's handicap debut (7f AW) and performed accordingly; wears first-time headgear; wouldn't want the ground to worsen. |
