27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to kick on for Charlie Johnston and he was gelded before coming in last of five in 1m4f Kempton handicap in January; starts out for a new yard with something to prove; first-time tongue tie. |

5th 2 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bred to be better than he showed in his four runs as a 2yo, including when sent off the 11-8 favourite for his nursery debut at Newcastle in November (1m); gelded since and this step up to middle distances could see him take a step forward. |
100/30 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Held by Beyond The Bar on Hamilton running last time but should still do better judged on pedigree, being half-brother to a useful performer for his connections. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on reappearance; failed to improve on that when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in another novice event three weeks later, but he still looks capable of better and his dam was a 2m4f winner, so this extra 3f for handicap debut will surely help. |
3/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded and much improved from his debut when a promising second of seven in 1m novice at Thirsk 22 days ago; looks to have more to offer; a player. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ran moderately over 1m at Ripon last year (good to firm; 18-1) but has been gelded ahead of this second season. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Duly stepped up on his 2yo efforts when winning a Class 6 handicap in good style at Lingfield last month (1m, AW); beaten a nose at Southwell under a penalty nine days later (also 1m; winner gone in again since) and he a further 6lb higher today; stepping up to 1m2f looks sure to prompt further progress though. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Held in four starts on turf last year but he posted a much improved effort when switched to the AW on his handicap debut at Lingfield nine days ago, kicking off the bend before being eased late on; 6lb well-in under a penalty and he's the one to beat. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip. |
16/1 |
|
11th 7 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Drawn away from the action on his nursery debut last backend and pulled hard upped to 1m2f on his comeback; likely he's capable of better but he was well held each time and is more exposed than some. |
25/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Soundly beaten sixth of eight on nursery debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) last October but that doesn't tell the full story as he came home first of the three that raced on the near side; reappears with trainer in fine form and it will be no surprise to see him give a good account. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive once upped to 1m as 2yo, winning twice (good to firm/soft) before his Listed fourth in France (soft); may have needed last month's comeback run in the race won by Laureate Crown at Sandown (1m, good to firm; 14-1 from 20-1) but he's not obviously well treated. |
25/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won Ripon novice (1m, good to firm) last August on third start then followed up in four-runner nursery over this C&D (soft); creditable Listed fourth in France (1m, soft) in September but returns to a handicap off a mark 13lb higher than for his course win; further improvement needed. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Promising third on 1m Ripon debut (good to firm) last summer and returned to make all with ease in a 1m3f novice there (good to soft) six weeks ago; that was a weak race but he could do no more than hack up and there could be plenty more to come. |
1/3 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Having been outpaced he kept on for a promising third at 8-1 on debut here (1m, good to firm) last August; gelded since; his pedigree suggests that he will relish this step up in trip on his reappearance; strong contender. |
11/8 |
|
6 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Related to plenty of winners in these silks, notably Group-placed 1m2f-1m6f winner Mekong (RPR 113); dam 1m4f winner (106); a top 2yo stable too. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved on final 2yo start, comfortably landing a nine-runner nursery at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October; that was his first run on testing ground and it remains to be seen if he can build on it back on a faster surface. |
10/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran okay from the front when fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a novice at Bath (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago; however, he's now 0-5 and needs something extra now back in a handicap. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to make the frame but came closest to doing so on his return at Ripon 13 days ago (1m; following wind surgery); new trip raises a question. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field on three of his four 2yo starts, most recently on handicap debut at Beverley (8.4f, soft) in September when last seen; however, he's had wind surgery since and is on an attractive mark judged on his sixth of 16 at York (7f, good) last July; could be a contender. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His York sixth in July (7f, good) was comfortably his best effort and marked him down as one to note for a nursery campaign; needs improvement to defy this opening mark but it would appear likely. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at 5-4 for handicap debut (1m, good) to end last season and reappearance in Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) wasn't his best form either, albeit providing the most resistance to a 1-2 favourite and 5l clear of the rest; return to 1m might help and cheekpieces are enlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Shaped with promise when fourth at York (7f, good) and Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer; failed to build on those efforts on his handicap debut at the latter track in September and has been off since; this longer trip isn't guaranteed to suit on his AW debut but holds solid form claims. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
7f maiden win at Epsom last summer (only four ran); well beaten on her reappearance but she fared better when second of six back at Epsom last month (8.5f, good); stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust and less-exposed rivals may have her measure. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Unplaced in six starts and unraced beyond 1m2f; usually held up in her races but not sure if this will pan out ideally for her; blinkers return. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Finished held in fifth last September in her two nurseries (8.4f/1m); however, she showed signs of promise previously and, being by Waldgeist, the step up in trip may well prove to be a positive move on her reappearance, for which she wears first-time cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

7 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
