9st 4lb |
Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song. |

Progressed through the handicap ranks last term and has stepped up to Listed grade this season, winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) most recently; ready for a crack at Group level and should go well. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |

Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

Has looked quirky/awkward at times; perhaps hard to place after winning first two starts for the Johnstons and he left them for 3,800gns in February; new yard had a winner with a recent recruit last week but this one might be best watched. |

1-1 on the AW, albeit her win came in a 0-75 handicap at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago; runner-up in Listed races in Sweden (1m, good) and Naas (1m, soft) the last twice and although she has a bit to find strictly on the book, she could go well. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Posted his second win of the summer when easily making all at Hamilton (1m, good to soft) in July; it's too soon to write him off but he needs to perform much better than on his last two starts. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Best from the front; made all in a C&D maiden (good) in June and a Hamilton handicap (8.5f, good to soft) in July; latest York effort was a little disappointing and the widest stall could make it tricky for him to lead, particularly as there are some confirmed front-runners drawn much nearer the inside. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning return at Kempton (1m, AW) in March and two good efforts on turf in May, including when fourth of 11 in a warm handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm); was behind Metal Merchant then, but may have been unlucky not to finish second; not so good back there a fortnight later (behind Good Gracious), but a player if bouncing back; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with a close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) this month, his second run this season, and remains well handicapped on some of last year's placed form; a possible. |

On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr. |

Four-time Listed winner who made Group 3 breakthrough at Saint-Cloud (1m, very soft) last October; ran well when 2l fourth in Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good) four weeks ago; third in this last year and a penalty shouldn't prevent her being competitive again. |

Admirable mare who is 12-21 on turf including wins at Group 3/Listed level; has winning form over C&D, but will need to improve plenty on her reappearance effort at Saint-Cloud in March if she is to play a part here. |
