23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sent off at 25-1 for her handicap debut at Kempton five weeks ago (1m) but she ran a fine race for second, battling on well but headed late by the reopposing Saytarr; open to further progress and is high on the list despite a 2lb rise. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Second of six on her Lingfield return (1m2f, Polytrack) in April, but didn't back it up there the following month and not seen since; now makes her handicap debut and the market may be revealing. |

29th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Made low-key debut in the autumn but fared much better when clear second (albeit no match for winner) behind subsequent Musidora third Go Go Boots over C&D last month, and further progress is possible. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |

7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

0-18 but has shown ability as when second of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) ten days ago; return to this trip not a problem and he holds each-way claims again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he got right back on track when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap nine days ago, doing best of those held up off a steady pace; he's effective at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (10) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Free-goer who came from the rear for a close third behind Soames Forsyte over C&D last month and may not have been suited by the much more positive tactics when below that form at Wolverhampton (8.6f; ran without usual hood) a few days later; however, he's 0-16 now and has become frustrating. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins divided between turf and the AW; 7lb above his highest winning mark and appeared to have no excuses when fifth of 14 at Wetherby four weeks ago (7f, good to firm). |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time turf and AW winner (7f-1m); 8lb higher than his highest winning mark and although he may have needed his reappearance, he may also now need a favour from the handicapper. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On a career-high mark but he won well from the front at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen and may remain competitive; dual scorer on turf and doesn't necessarily need to dominate. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Five AW wins include this year's hat-trick on the Tapeta; raised a further 4lb for what was a narrow latest success (1m) but he's on a roll and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 1m success at Southwell but she's failed to build on it, only sixth of seven in 7f Catterick handicap 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Turf wins at 1m and 1m1f; scored on AW at Southwell (1m) in April following six-month break and wind surgery but below that form at Newcastle since; returns to turf but may be best suited by further than 7f. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of an easing mark to make a winning seasonal reappearance at Southwell (1m; 14-1, first start since wind surgery) in late April; non-runner at Thirsk (ground) on Sunday, and this looks a better fit; likely to have a say from 4lb higher. |

5th 8 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Scored three times at 7f/1m on the AW in 2025 but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of eight in 1m handicap at Nottingham last month; visor goes on the first time here. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Last three wins have been on the AW, the most recent off a 6lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) in December; below his best there over 1m after becoming upset in the stalls 90 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to turf on his first start since. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's lacked consistency of late, including in two forms of headgear; having a first crack at beyond 1m4f and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |
