24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |

Dual winner for Charlie Johnston; fair effort on his stable debut in a maiden hurdle here in May; booking of Billy Lee suggests better is expected today. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; won twice on the Flat for Charlie Johnston on good ground; rated 83 in that sphere; signed off British career with a tailed off finish at Hamilton in September; makes hurdling/stable debut now in a first-time tongue tie. |
11/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to soft but both wins (at 1m3f and about 1m) on good; ran up to his best when a close second of seven at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in August but needs to pull out more against in-form rivals. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
11th 7 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Better than ever when he won five times last year and he's carried on that good work this term, scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) in April and again over that C&D (good) a fortnight ago; that's arguably his favourite track but he's got form here too and can't be dismissed in current mood. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
1m4f winner who has gone 3-4 over hurdles for Tom Lacey and easily won on handicap debut last time at Southwell (good; second run in this headgear combination), albeit against only four rivals; up 8lb but has momentum behind him. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has made a bright start over hurdles, going 2-3 in 2m Fakenham novice when last seen out in October; goes handicapping after an absence now and can't be ruled out. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All-the-way Market Rasen hurdling debut winner in August, and 2l ahead of Currumbin when fifth at Warwick latest (2m, good); that form sets the standard here, and the second and fourth each won (over fences) next time; obvious player if settling better; gains tongue-tie. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two of three wins over 1m2f at Beverley, the latest in May 2025; some fair efforts at 1m-1m4f this season; on a decent mark now. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Having her 39th race and still seeking first win away from Beverley; has run some fair races this season but not last time and others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has largely respectable form this term, most recently fifth to Shimmering Sands over C&D; weighted to get closer to that rival on the revised terms and is on an attractive mark; still seeking first handicap win away from Beverley but can't be dismissed. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Stuck his neck in front in the final strides over C&D (good) on seasonal debut, ending a three-year losing spell; still well handicapped on peak form and commands respect under very promising young amateur Henry Callan, who has built up an impressive strike-rate. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

No wins since 2023 and although he was running well when last seen, that was late last year; probably one to watch unless backed. |
