20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Southwell novice winner (1m, AW) last November and, having been gelded, wasn't beaten far into fifth of 12 on last month's Sandown return/handicap debut (1m, good) when not enjoying a clear run; better is expected with cheekpieces given a go. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to match market expectations in his two turf races last August (heavy/good to firm); much better in both AW novices at Southwell (1m) late last year, winning on first occasion; gelded since; needs better still on this return to turf for handicap debut but they usually run well from this yard when Oisin Murphy is booked. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Formerly owned by Qatar Racing and, having been placed on Tapeta at two, won over 1m at Thirsk last summer; showed a bit on hurdling debut, tailed off thrice over flights since; hard to gauge. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner for James Ferguson last year; was running okay on hurdles debut when unseating at Leopardstown but tailed off twice since; tongue tie now tried. |
33/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Thirsk novice (1m, good) in July; gelded afterwards and only tenth of 11 when second favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m) 18 days ago, albeit not beaten far; that sees cheekpieces installed today but there's also the chance that good to firm ground was not ideal that day and that stepping up to 1m2f will suit him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance last term, before failing to go on in his next two starts; however, he was gelded later in the autumn and led 2f out for an impressive 3l win when back in action five weeks ago in useful handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW); 9lb higher today but likely to stay 1m4f and, after just five races, could still have potential. |
15/8 |

1st 10 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August on reappearance last term; no further progress when favourite in his only two subsequent starts (handicap debut on latest) but gelded later in the autumn and, after just four races, he should retain potential. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Promising third on sole 2yo start (1m, AW) and reappeared with a win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; no match for the winner when heavily odds-on in Epsom novice (1m2f, good) last month but this well-bred 3yo, who is in top hands, nevertheless has potential off his opening mark. |

10st 2lb |
Made the frame twice for the Crisfords in October/November 2024; gelded subsequently and changed hands for 4,800gns in March 2025; has not returned in the same form after 13 months off, including when last of 11 on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW; 50-1) in January, following wind surgery; cheekpieces added. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1m2f winner who landed a fourth success for this yard when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in March; step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and return to this trip could help. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 4-7 since joining Charlie Clover when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; has also won over 1m2f on turf; disappointing favourite at Pontefract since but was restless in the stalls; may be worth another chance. |
15/2 |

9st 8lb |
Record of 4-7 for current yard, the wins at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) and on AW, including at Lingfield (1m) on seasonal debut; this improving filly warrants respect. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last June; last of ten back there (8.5f) on reappearance last month but should strip fitter here and not out of this. |
10/1 |

10th 9 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Justified short odds in 1m2f handicap here (good to firm) in June and ran well when second in similar race here next time; didn't see out final two starts last year, so maybe this drop back in trip can assist on her reappearance. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Progressed in her first four handicaps and followed a narrow second at Wetherby in June with a breakthrough success at Beverley (also 1m2f, good to firm) three weeks later; every bit as good when second over the latter C&D next time and it wasn't a bad effort when fifth at Carlisle (1m1f, good) 17 days ago; possibilities. |

1-14 for Charlie Johnston, the win coming off 7lb higher at Newmarket last summer (1m4f); that was in a new visor and he struggled afterwards, including in blinkers that are now reapplied; joined this yard for 1,000gns. |

Won off 4lb higher at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last June but he's struggled since and was beaten 8l at Chelmsford (1m5f) last time; record is now 1-13 and he needs a big turnaround. |

4-1, shaped really well on debut when fourth of 12 in 7f Kempton novice last month, very slowly away and running green; this son of Siyouni can take a major step forward now; interesting prospect. |
