5th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was close second on seasonal/stable/handicap debut in April and went one better here (1m5f, good) four weeks ago; moves up in trip again today and could easily have more to offer; good chance. |

8th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |

Unexposed; 3,500gns buy in February; sound stable debut when runner-up on first attempt at 1m4f on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last week (first run as a gelding); should come on for that; chance. |

Last three wins have come over hurdles, but his last three efforts in that sphere have been moderate; look elsewhere. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when coming in last of 12 over C&D 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back. |

12th 10 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1m4f/1m6f wins for Charlie Johnston; now 0-11 over hurdles and was disappointing in a low-grade handicap here only recently; however, there is placed form in her record and she could have some part to play. |
7/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Three Flat wins in 2023; 0-10 over hurdles but was only reeled in late on under James Robottom here three weeks ago (2m1f, good); clear claims off 1lb higher. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three on the Flat in 2023 when trained by Charlie Johnston; 0-9 over hurdles and beaten around 40l at Taunton on her last two starts; this looks easier and she may show more. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in blinkers last season (1m7f/2m); back on a workable mark but made a low-key reappearance in cheekpieces (retained) last month and needs that run to have brought him on. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last August, but just 1-30 and both efforts since returning for this yard last month have been poor; look elsewhere. |

8th 10 |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

1-29, the sole win in 2021; had quite a few minor honours last year, including a close second over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in August off today's mark, but this month's first run for a new yard was a heavy defeat. |

8th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Didn't have the race run to suit down to 1m here last Friday and needs considering on her previous C&D near-miss (four of tonight's rivals behind); goes on the shortlist. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Well handicapped and travelled well before going down narrowly over 1m2f here recently; the obvious worry is that it's been a long time since she ran over 1m (stays 1m4f). |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Multiple C&D winner; fourth (beaten 16l, with Dailileo third) in this race last year, and it's fair to say that she's yet to really fire in 2024; weakened (eighth of ten) over C&D last time, which leaves her work to do with Diamond State. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Multiple C&D scorer who also took this in 2021 and 2022; came in last on the Flat at Hamilton recently but she had shaped well when a C&D third last month so rates a player once more for yard among the winners. |

Irish raider; yet to win in 11 attempts but good second on the AW two runs ago in February (1m4f); poor effort last time; yard has a good record here and a possible. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 6 |

Three wins on the Flat, the latest at Redcar last September (1m6f, good to firm); hasn't been at his best this year, although fair run when 10l fourth of 12 at Beverley last time (good to firm). |
