4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple wins at 1m and 1m1f (good or softer) include two over C&D; quite favourably treated now and he was a very respectable fourth at Ripon recently, when just behind a subsequent winner; needs a bit more here. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year (1m/1m1f, good/soft); the last of them came in a seller and he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Doncaster, but that was the competitive Spring Mile and he may have needed the run; won this in 2022 and he's not discounted off a handy mark. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Awarded the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last March and he's fully 12lb lower today; ran well in defeat at Ayr last month on first two starts for this yard (1m/1m1f, good to firm) and he's on the shortlist. |

4th 8 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped. |
9/4 |

3rd 1 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful for Darryll Holland, then form went markedly awry during a brief spell with Gay Kelleway; sold for 13,000gns since last run; market may prove instructive on debut for another new yard. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Outstayed over 1m1f on final start last term, which was also his only race on good to firm; progressive at 1m otherwise and laughed at his 21 rivals in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft) on reappearance seven weeks ago; up 8lb but that win came with huge authority and he's still low mileage. |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Outstayed over 1m1f when last seen; progressive at 1m otherwise and still has very low mileage; bred to take well to this scenario, being related to 2022 Lincoln winner Johan for same connections; remains of interest. |
9/2 |
|
13 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
3yo who has improved with each of his four runs, winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month before close second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good; well backed); pedigree provides optimism today's extra yardage will suited and this unexposed sort is firmly in calculations. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8 (12) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good/firmer; has quickly found his form this season for new yard and ran creditably in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last Saturday when attempting to follow up his Beverley success (7.5f); may do better still. |
9/1 |
|
5th 14 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was having only his second start for this yard when clinging on over the extended 7f at Beverley (good to firm) nine days ago; only raised 3lb but this is a step up from that Class 4 and his draw isn't ideal for one who usually races close to the pace. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Went 0-14 after his winning debut at two but belatedly doubled his tally when comfortably accounting for his five rivals after a break at Southwell (1m); this is tougher, but he was runner-up in last year's Silver Bowl at Haydock which was a Class 2 handicap on turf; only 3lb higher than that day. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Newmarket in May and he did well to finish third over C&D (good) in July, having taken a wide route into the straight; has remained in good form since and has claims if he responds well to first-time visor. |
11/1 |
|
9 (1) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Still 5lb higher than when making a successful reappearance at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in May; latest fifth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago was respectable but underlines he needs a bit more from this mark. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all for both wins at around 1m on turf last year, each for a different stable; has run well on Tapeta, but Polytrack remains a question and he will need to do better than on his debut for this yard at Bath 15 days ago. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
One win apiece for his two previous yards, taking his turf record to 22411; ran well on AW last time and sold for 25,000gns since; interesting returned to this sphere on debut for another new stable. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eighth attempt when making all in a Beverley maiden (8.5f); left Charlie Johnston and made a winning start for new stable with another all-the-way success at Haydock (1m) in September; 9-4 favourite, something presumably not right (hung left and weakened quickly) when last of ten at Southwell in November; given a bit of time since; no surprise were he to resume his progress. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Successful on 2yo debut; has failed to repeat that form since, well held over C&D most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
14/1 |
|
6 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on 2yo debut at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; the return to slow ground may be a positive but he's gone backwards from that initial promise and was soundly beaten at Haydock (1m, good) only 12 days ago. |
9/1 |
|
11 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Overcame greenness to win on C&D debut (soft) last September; has failed to back up that form in four subsequent outings (mainly AW) and needs a first-time visor and return to Haydock to spark a revival back from eight weeks off. |
