10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Improved for a step up to 7f last season; made a slow start to this campaign but he had a wind operation in June and returned to form with a win at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) last week; penalty in a much stronger race asks a stiffer question. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins from 14 starts, the most recent when dead-heating at Southwell (7f, AW) in October; struggled on his first three starts this year but didn't shape badly at Newbury (7f, good to soft; first start since wind surgery) three weeks ago; drops in grade with blinkers added. |
6/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins last August/October, the first over C&D (good); also effective on good to soft (unraced on softer); however, he's struggled on his three runs this spring; hopes pinned on wind op prompting dramatic turnaround. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Novice winner who was close up in a C&D handicap last August off 1lb higher; major claims if able to repeat that form, which hasn't been the case in three subsequent races. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark in 7f Salisbury novice in August but failed to beat a rival at Kempton on his final run in 2025 and went freely when beating one on his return in 1m Newmarket handicap last month; needs to become more tractable. |
10/1 |
|
12th 16 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last summer and ran well on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) next time; disappointing when upped to 1m at Kempton but he's certainly bred to stay; still lightly raced. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
225,000euros breeze-up buy; remains a maiden, and is on the verge of becoming frustrating, but the Newbury and Newmarket races he contested in August and September have worked out very well; rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par at Newbury four weeks ago, when failing to settle; however, prior to that he went close in a small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and can be in the picture if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; similar form in two handicaps around 1m this term, a solid third of 13 at Hamilton (good) in May backed up by a narrow second at Salisbury (good to firm) last time; far from disgraced over 1m2f in between; this drop back in trip asks a question but he's in form and is yet another contender. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on AW and she's 0-11 on turf; finished placed a few times on good or quicker ground last summer but she's been quiet in both runs this season and others are more persuasive. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

0-18 and his record is a patchy one; below par at Salisbury last month and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 17 starts but scores good marks for consistency; runner-up in first-time visor (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to be on the premises again here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to register a victory but he arrives in decent nick, fading late when seventh in 1m2f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; not out of things back in trip in a change of headgear. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap and he wasn't quite at his best last time; however, he kicked off his campaign with two good runs in defeat and there remains a suspicion he may yet have a bigger performance in him. |
8/1 |
|
7th 12 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Placed on all six handicap starts, most recently second of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago when twice suffering interference from the winner in the closing stages; every chance he'll be bang there. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Placed on all four handicap starts last year (7f/6f, good to firm/good), on the final occasion keeping on for 1l third here when the drop back to 6f looked against him; returned with solid third at Kempton (7f, AW) in March; major player for trainer who has won two of the last four runnings. |

Bit in and out since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, but it was a good effort in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) in May and also when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. |
10/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, her best effort when beaten a neck in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) on penultimate start; returns from 82 days and and still to fully convince over this far. |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in C&D event when last seen two months ago, taking AW record to 541; may show further progress in the retained headgear; respected. |
7/2 |

9 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win this season but has posted some good efforts, most recently when fourth (just behind Golden Redemption) at Newbury (7f, good) last month; should be fine back at 6f; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
3 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won a Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) last June; 0-7 in handicaps since but it was a solid run when second of nine over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; chance off the same mark. |
