29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
1m2f/1m4f winner on the AW for previous yard; settled better than in his first two runs over hurdles when demoted from first place in a 2m soft-ground maiden at Fontwell 15 days ago; that was a step forward but this handicap debut demands another. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Dual AW middle-distance winner for Charlie Johnston; picked up for 26,000gns; inclined to pull hard in two runs over hurdles for his new yard, who won this with a 4yo last year, and needs to be more amenable upped slightly in trip round here. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |
9/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three fair efforts since returned to turf; two Wolverhampton wins early in the year came off lower marks in blinkers and he'll need a career-best to take this stepping back up from 1m. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Two AW wins (about 1m and 1m1f; made all) in January; had limitations in first three turf handicaps but he was a good second at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago and should have a good run in him, possibly from the front again; rarely races on slow ground but ran well on heavy as 2yo. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two Wolverhampton wins (about 1m and 1m1f) last midwinter; no sign of her flagging when a strong-finishing third over 1m4f there in October, in only her second attempt at the trip; however, that was her sole run in the last 12 months so there are some readiness queries; cheekpieces refitted. |
11/2 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-2 at Wolverhampton (0-4 elsewhere) with the wins coming in an 8.6f fillies' maiden and a 9.5f handicap; respectable efforts in 1m4f/1m2f handicaps when last seen in the spring; should prove fully effective at this trip and she's one to consider with a good apprentice taking off 5lb. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran her best race so far when second at this track last month (9.5f); found wanting for pace back in maiden company at Kempton (1m3f) 17 days ago; improvement required now tackling 1m4f for the first time. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well-related filly who's proved expensive to follow in five starts (1m-1m2f) and was again inclined to lug left on her AW (Tapeta) debut in handicap company early last month; about sets the standard on that effort though. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in small fields at Bath (1m, firm) in May and at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June, but well held on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) in July; needs to step up from that, but the stable is in fine form and she is a sister to two AW winners (one smart); respected. |

Ran well when second of four in a 1m4f handicap at Newmarket in July; tailed off over 1m6f and 2m on his last two starts; carries risk. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Gelded before his second of four in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in July and that's his best form, but tailed off when making most at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to soft) ten days later; others look more solid. |

28th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |

Gelded before his last outing, he showed improvement on his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second of four at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) 10 days ago; step up in trip should suit and holds claims. |

Still a maiden and latest close third at Catterick (2m, good to firm) came in a field of four, so that form looks a tad dubious. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win under rules; showed some ability at 1m2f on the Flat for previous trainer but nothing worthwhile over hurdles for this yard and was beaten 60l on his return to the Flat at Ripon last month; hard to fancy. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f nursery in good style 12 months ago; off the mark for the year when well on top at the finish in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster in July; fair efforts in two of his three runs since (unsuited by ground when disappointing on penultimate start); drop back into a Class 5 will help but stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |
100/30 |

3rd 8 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Can pull hard and has worn a hood for last five outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f this summer, including for a clearcut win at Doncaster and a creditable fourth over C&D; flopped back at Doncaster last month but that was on tacky ground and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |
10/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Hard to settle and has worn a hood for last four outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f for last three starts, coming from off the pace, including for a clearcut win here (good; unraced on softer) on penultimate occasion; 6lb higher this time but he's in calculations. |

Won over 11.5f at Haydock in May off 4lb lower; comes here on the back of two fair efforts over further at Chelmsford but this looks more competitive and he will need to raise his game to win. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |

Winner at Haydock in May (1m4f) and mostly creditable efforts since, including third over 1m6f here last week; no extra towards the finish on that occasion so this evening's slightly shorter trip could be ideal. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner at Haydock in May (1m4f); promising fourth on AW debut here (1m2f) in April and better than result (caught wide and went for home too soon) when fourth back on AW at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time; first attempt at 1m6f. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |

Won over C&D in December but he's returned from a layoff with two low-key runs this summer; only 1lb higher than for that last success but tailed off at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month and needs a major revival. |
