23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't built on a 6f win at Pontefract last summer, and two runs for his current yard have been some way below par; falling in the weights but needs to turn over a new leaf. |
33/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well held at 33-1 over C&D on stable debut 18 days ago; only 2lb lower here and others make much more appeal. |
33/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 1-6 for Charlie Johnston, the success over 6f (has form at 1m); failed to beat a rival when last seen and sold for 11,000gns since; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (13) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in his first two starts, both over 6f on turf; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up well short; gelded since last seen; down in class on AW debut; worth a market check. |
10/1 |
|
6 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on first two starts (6f, good to firm/good) then handed tough tasks in two sales races; however, he also finished down the field on this month's nursery debut at Thirsk (5f, good) and needs to turn things around in first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers). |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third on debut over C&D (good to firm) in June; well beaten in Glorious Goodwood (6f, good) next time then not disgraced despite finishing last in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm); difficult to assess ahead of this nursery debut but his dam was a useful sprinter and he's a possible improver for his in-form yard in a first-time tongue-tie. |
9/1 |
|
8 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in a maiden at Glorious Goodwood, failing to back up his Pontefract placed effort; clear bottom of this pack on the figures and therefore needs huge improvement. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handicapper slowly easing her mark and this trip perhaps her best, especially at a stiff track; behind Martha's Shadow at Catterick last time. |
10/1 |
|
1 (8) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Positives to take from her two Thirsk efforts (6f-7f) but a representative of her trainer had no explanation for the poor run at Musselburgh (1m, good; first attempt at trip) latest; drops back to 6f from an easing mark; isn't discounted. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-5; narrowly ahead of Lexington Express at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) when both could have done with a stronger gallop from off the pace; should run well. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough last week at Ripon (6f, good) and the 4lb rise could have been worse as the front two pulled nearly 5l clear; obvious chance in this weak race. |
7/4 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win (0-10), going closest when beaten a head at Newcastle (6f nursery) in December; bumped at the start but recovered to do solid late work at Catterick (5f, good; third of ten, beaten 1l) 17 days ago; same mark (holds Contorno) for return to 6f. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Showed progressive RPRs over 5f/6f for Mick Appleby, winning twice prior to an apparently good effort on Champions Day (mark raised 6lb for that); sold for 90,000gns since; something to prove upped in trip. |
25/1 |

6th 4 (12) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Rallied gamely in a novice at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last time, taking record to 611; improving and seems one to have on your side in a fight; however, plenty to find on ratings upped in class. |
14/1 |

1 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Never threatened on his 6f debut in June but took full advantage of a pace collapse when winning a 5f Sandown maiden (soft) a fortnight ago; that form's been upheld in nurseries and he should be fine back up in trip; respected under the penalty. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten at big odds on her three 2yo starts and down the field at 22-1 on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Nottingham (5f, good); improvement is necessary. |
20/1 |
|
14th 14 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Showed little at massive odds in her three starts last year; drops back in trip on handicap debut but yard still waiting for their first turf winner this term. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

80-1 for both her races and performed accordingly; has no form claims here. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Shaped okay at York (6f) but then finished last over 7f at Doncaster after hanging left; has races in her but perhaps not this one. |
14/1 |

1 (1) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Showed her inexperience and never really looked dangerous when fifth of 11 at York (6f, good) a fortnight ago but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and she's of interest in this easier race. |
5/1 |
|
12 (12) |
31st May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
25,000gns foal, 50,000gns yearling; fifth foal; Kodi Bear half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Choux (including Listed); unraced dam from classy family; takes on males on debut and she may be best watched. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden whose best form, namely third-place finishes (7f/1m) in August/September, gives him a major chance in this field; did too much up front at York on Saturday; wears first-time headgear. |
3/1 |
|
5 (5) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Close third of five on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third of nine at Haydock (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, when shaping as though this return to 1m may be a plus; chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
No extra towards the finish when third of five on 1m Thirsk nursery debut (good) three weeks ago; the drop back to 7f could suit and the fact he went off at 5-6 at Thirsk suggests he's thought to be well treated by a leading stable which won this race last year; has a handy inside stall; reasons to be positive about his prospects. |
