5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well below best at Hamilton latest (connections thought the ground was quicker than the official good) but he had been an up and comer for the yard previously, winning first two starts over 5f (AW and good to soft), then the Dash at Epsom (also good to soft) in June; 6lb higher than the latter win but these conditions are ideal and has more to come; yard has won two of the last three runnings. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-5 since joining Mick Appleby when seeing off 19 rivals in the Epsom Dash (5f, good to soft) eight weeks ago; had the advantage of racing against the near rail but most of his 6lb rise is offset by the promising Conor Whiteley's claim. |

2-4 since joining Mick Appleby, notably a Class 2 handicap win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) in April; solid run at York three weeks ago and one for whom rain would be no concern. |

9st 4lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run. |

In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last September (5f, turf) but she ran creditably in better AW races than this earlier in the year and has won and gone well fresh in the past; interesting to see what another change of yard does for her; usually tongue tied but not today. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground. |
7/2 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took a while to open her account but is a dual 5f course winner this year; also suited by 6f but current mark demands a career-best effort and some of her 3yo rivals have more potential. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handicapper quick to ease off and he offered more back on turf last time, on just his second run at beyond sprint trips; lacked consistency to date but that gave something to build on. |
7/2 |

4th 11 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He made a winning start for Stuart Williams when strong at the finish over 5f at Chelmsford in December; little to cheer since and hopes are pinned on the return to 7f/turf having a positive effect. |
20/1 |

9th 8 (9) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He made a winning stable debut in a 5f novice at Chelmsford in December but three handicap runs since have been underwhelming; the addition of a hood needs to give him a lift; stable also runs Expert Agent. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May but has been pretty consistent since rejoining Tony Carroll in March and probably won't be far away. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |
50/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |
