Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark. |
25/1 |

7th 8 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A revelation on AW for new yard since last November, posting an eight-timer; close second of six off this mark at Wolverhampton last month; he's 0-9 on turf but this is his first run on grass for his current trainer and he could be involved. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole success came in an AW novice at Kempton in March last year when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton; has made the frame on all three AW starts for current trainer this year and won't be far away if she can replicate that form back on turf. |
4/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Outsider of the field both starts for Scott Dixon but didn't run like it, managing fourth then a front-running third; latest defeat was at the hands of the prolific Yorkshire Glory and Aisling Oscar; major claims on this drop in grade. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
1-13 for Eve Johnson Houghton, the win coming in a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last March; reappeared with a respectable effort on her stable debut at Southwell last month but she needs to build on that and this is her first run at this track. |

6f AW win on his stable debut in November; added to his tally when seeing off five rivals at Chepstow 16 days ago (Class 4; 5f, good to soft); in deeper today. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor. |
9/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting. |
6/1 |
