Well beaten in series final on AW last time; form otherwise this term features a few placed efforts; sole attempt over C&D (soft) resulted in a comfortable win off 9lb higher in 2023; one to consider. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last summer and he posted three solid efforts on AW during the winter; returns for new trainer after three months off but he's effective on turf and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; dangerous in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Southwell on debut for current yard and placed on two occasions since; behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to first-time blinkers. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Record is only 1-10 but this return from a 67-day break may be the time to catch him (gained the win when fresh); ran creditably at Kempton (7f) last time. |

11st 5lb |
Record of 211 since wearing visor, the wins at Southwell (7f, AW) and Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back on career-high mark and back up in class but may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner for Charlie Johnston in June 2023; off the mark for this yard over 7f at Southwell when visored for only a second time and he kept on gamely; just 3lb higher. |
3/1 |
|
2 (1) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-14 since a 1m Newmarket handicap win for Charlie Johnston in June 2023, but latest 1m Doncaster second was only his second outing for Denis Quinn and he went through that race as if this drop back to 7f may be in his favour. |

Two wins came on heavy ground in the autumn; pulled hard and didn't see it out on his first crack at 1m on comeback but has to prove this career-high mark within range on his AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
12th 18 (18) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 2-2 on heavy ground includes a Doncaster success (7f) in first-time cheekpieces when last seen; ideally needs same conditions, being 0-7 on other surfaces; steps up to 1m with the headgear retained. |
20/1 |

1st 8 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressed well as a 2yo, ending with a 6f win at Newbury (heavy; also stays 7f); has kept it low key in just three runs this season but more testing ground can play in his favour; now has a go in cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French gelding who was unraced at two; made all to land Vichy claimer (very soft) in August and went mighty close for this yard in Leicester seller (good) in October; 25-1 and raced wide before solid fifth of 12 at Kempton (also 7f, AW) in December; showed no improvement in first-time cheekpieces when last of ten on his return at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April and visor returns; best left alone at present. |
16/1 |

10th 9 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Ex-French gelding who was unraced at two; made all to land Vichy claimer (very soft) in August and went mighty close for this yard in Leicester seller (good) in October; 25-1 and raced wide before solid fifth of 12 at Kempton (also 7f, AW) when last seen in December; cheekpieces enlisted for second go at this sort of trip and he's not ruled out on return. |

Won final French start, at Vichy (7f claimer, very soft) in August; well held in an Ascot handicap on yard debut but he came home strongly and only just failed in C&D seller (good) since; has a big run in him on soft. |

Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form in emphatic fashion at Epsom (7f, good) last August, but following an 8lb rise he failed to beat a rival in an amateurs' event at Ascot (7f, good to soft) in October; opposable on first start since. |

Entitled to have come on for her comeback Southwell second to a progressive 3yo three weeks ago; the evidence points to her being happier on the AW than turf and she's relatively low mileage still; yard is in decent form; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Steady progress last season, winning at 7f and 1m; flopped in the Spring Mile first time back but showed his true colours when emerging from off the pace to beat a Beckett improver over 1m here recently (4lb lower); he should stay this far. |
