23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Free-going sort who was 4-18 for Charlie Johnston, including two 1m wins last summer, and made a winning start for new connections when 33-1 for a nine-runner race at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January; absent since and has more to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2024. |

1st 6 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 4-18 for Charlie Johnston and was second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) on his penultimate run for that yard; returns after three months off but he's still lightly raced on AW and needs watching in market on stable debut. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Southwell winner (1m, Tapeta) late last year and has twice won on turf (1m, good to firm) since returning from six months off in June; ran well to finish second of 13 back at Southwell (1m) a fortnight ago and much respected despite a 2lb rise. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who put everything together to win maiden here (7f, good) last month, strong at the finish; should be suited by this return to 1m and is open to further improvement now tackling a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a neck on debut (7f, AW) last August and respectable third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on third attempt; left Simon Pearce (same owners) before a disappointing show in a first-time tongue-tie and had wind surgery later in April; the form pick if judged on debut. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has registered three of his four wins over C&D, the most recent off just 1lb lower last June; ran respectably at Newmarket when last seen; one for the shortlist back here. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was winning for the fifth time when landing a 1m handicap at Southwell in December; not far short of that level in defeat on his next two starts; each-way shout if getting a good pace to aim at. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |
50/1 |
|
9 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all wins on turf, mostly at Redcar; has gone off the boil since last success and this return to AW seems unlikely to help, with record in this sphere far from solid. |
20/1 |
|
12 (13) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Showed his liking for Redcar with C&D wins in June and July; things haven't gone to plan since but he met trouble here in August and a heavy defeat last time came in the Legends race at Doncaster; not inconceivable he'll bounce back. |

A four-time winner but has been regressing for a while and no effort of note for current yard. |
33/1 |
|
8th 3 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times for his previous stable, three of which came on the AW at Newcastle; ended his time with that yard with some lesser efforts and he's been well held in two starts for Scott Dixon; dropped another 3lb. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins for the Barrons, three of them over 7f on the Tapeta at Newcastle; 28-1 for his stable debut two weeks ago (first run after a 175-day break) and he weakened as though it was needed; likely to bounce back at some point. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims. |
13/2 |

2nd 13 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Made all when making a winning debut for this yard over C&D last autumn (all four victories come late in the year); back on a workable mark and back in form lately but this is more competitive. |

3rd 6 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Hooded all starts; has not built on a promising debut last July, slowly away and always behind on latest outing; slipping in the weights but needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen last year after August and has been off for almost five months since two uninspiring AW efforts in January; has pulled hard a couple of times, which would be a concern from the outside stall going back up from 6f. |
