23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
1m novice winner on soft in April and acquitted himself well when sixth of 14 in the traditionally strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f) on his handicap debut in May; hasn't advanced his form since but most efforts have been respectable and the drop back in trip is worth a go after he faded into fifth over 8.6f at Wolverhampton latest. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair since handicapping, given he hasn't looked to see out 1m2f a few times, latterly in cheekpieces; this is a touch easier down another 2lb and he holds each-way claims. |

10th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when narrow winner of Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April and was creditable sixth in valuable handicap when upped to 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; good claims if judged on that evidence but wasn't in same form on last two outings (cheekpieces added last time). |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on AW this year and record is only 1-27 but the Ayr factor makes him interesting on classified debut; gained his win in sole visit to this course (May 2023). |
7/1 |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-26, the success over three years ago; drop back in trip (and refitted cheekpieces) coincided with overdue return to form, when a closing third to Dinah Myte (Barleybrown second) over C&D 23 days ago; his odds will be shorter now, but whether he'll back it up is questionable. |

3rd 13 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference. |

12th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-8 and well beaten when placed in 7f maidens the last twice (good to firm/good to soft) but he's on a competitive mark now back in a handicap and has shown promise on soft ground; might not be far away. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
27th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in four of his last five starts, two of those in nurseries; 6l second when returned to maiden company at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) latest; should be involved but remains vulnerable in this company for win purposes. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in his first three starts after returning in April, his best effort when beaten half a length on handicap debut here (7.7f, good to firm) in May (form worked out very well); didn't appear to stay when eighth of ten at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time and should appreciate the return to this trip; respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |
9/1 |

10th 10 (14) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but twice went close on AW earlier this year and he was denied a clear run when 2l fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise; might not be far away. |

4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden who lost her way last season after showing early promise, including when fourth of eight on her debut over C&D; returns from five months off with enough to prove. |

9st 2lb |
Lightly-raced 3yo who offered more when third of nine at Carlisle this month (6f, good to firm; made the running in first-time cheekpieces); unexposed as a sprinter and considered in such a moderate race. |

Had some near misses but remains a maiden and blinkers are now turned to after hanging left throughout in a 1m turf maiden 12 days ago; has threatened in handicaps and headgear could make a difference. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-7 when well beaten in a match at Brighton last time and he's unproven on slow ground; however, showed some useful form previously (including C&D) and is entitled to respect for last year's winning yard. |

Front-runner; ran up to his best when second of five in a C&D maiden 13 days ago (good ground); raced on slower than good just once and that was on his debut when he was well beaten. |
