26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue. |
9/4 |

9th 14 (14) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Tailed off in two turf races on good last July; firmly on the up in AW handicaps when last seen, registering a quickfire hat-trick in February and last two starts were at 1m4f (made all last time); absent since and this is a much more competitive contest for his return to turf. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made the breakthrough, off 4lb lower, at Newcastle (1m2f; 6-4 favourite) in January; consistent thereafter (322) without any noticeable uplift for blinkers; returns from a short break in suitable company but with a few of the others open to improvement. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over 1m2f here last month, his second start for Lemos De Souza; subsequent third of five behind Cospicua at Kempton (1m4f) was respectable, and he kept on well for second behind Wicksey here (1m2f; first-time blinkers) on Wednesday; the most exposed runner in the field but a likely contender nevertheless. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Well backed when winning over C&D last month (Onyeisi second); finished behind Onyeisi when third at Kempton two weeks ago (1m4f); now has blinkers fitted (has run okay in cheekpieces before). |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Step up to 1m4f should have suited on his debut for this yard last time but he ran poorly; that leaves him with something to prove on just his second turf start. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good third over 1m2f at Newcastle (handicap debut; final start for Karl Burke) when last seen, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; still in same ownership; interesting, with another step forward possible. |

3rd 4 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
625,000gns yearling with a good middle-distance pedigree; not shown a great deal in three maiden/novice runs at up to 8.6f but this test should be more suitable. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Encouraging stable debut when third of seven over 1m here in November; backwards step at Southwell one month later; steps up in trip with improvement essential. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Cheaply bought; has offered little in 7f maidens, although was set a stiff task behind subsequent Group 2 winner Constitution River at Galway in July; blinkers on for handicap debut; market may reveal expectations. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No impact on AW on first five starts but better signs switched to turf last month, finishing 1l second of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); enters calculations off an unchanged mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in each of her five starts, including in handicap company on her last two outings (1m2f/1m4f); now has cheekpieces on for the first time on her AW debut and she may be happier back at 1m. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |

Out of the frame in all four starts and finished 8l behind Wicksey on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) this month; now 13lb better off but still has work to do. |

Dead-heated at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but she's struggled at around 1m2f in two starts since; cheekpieces, which were worn last time, are retained. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Has been handicapping since September, getting off the mark when dead-heating over 7f at Newcastle in December; never involved and way back over 1m2f there since and needs to show this is her trip; cheekpieces on. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when dead-heating over 7f here in December; she will need to improve again for the extra distance if she is to follow up. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; was sporting cheekpieces for the first time when well behind Trust No One at Newcastle (1m2f) on penultimate start and made little impact at Lingfield subsequently; blinkers added over this new trip; risky proposition. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Appeared to show improvement when third at Newcastle on his penultimate start (stepped up from 7f to 1m2f) but he failed to back it up when beaten 15.5l at Newcastle one month later (cheekpieces first time, retained); others look safer. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (5) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Improved for the step up to this trip when third to Trust No One and Onyeisi in a C&D handicap 26 days ago; cheekpieces now added and may do better, especially in a more truly-run affair. |

No real improvement for the switch to nurseries in the autumn; upped in trip for his reappearance and could well have more to offer (dam a Musidora winner); stable also run Onyeisi. |

First foal of a triple Group 3 winner for the Johnston yard; unexposed colt but he didn't live up to expectations in maiden/novice events and was only sixth of ten on nursery debut at Leicester (1m, good) last month; finished behind Bird Of War last time and needs to raise his game back on Tapeta; stablemate of Onyeisi. |
