4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-4 when winning a 1m4f handicap at Meydan in December; posted a good third in Group 3 there in January but last of six in Group 1 there (1m4f) in March; yard has an excellent record in this so he's a likely player after a break. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Frankel colt who showed promise when placed over 6f/7f on good to firm at the start of the summer; given a bit of time ahead of this third start and it's likely 1m will suit him; leading claims. |

2nd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

400,000gns yearling; first foal; by Frankel out of 7f AW 2yo/1m turf winner (RPR 93), whose dam was a 1m Group 1 winner; 5-6 when third of seven in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, front rank until outgunned over 1f out; yard also runs By The Book; this extra 1f will help and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

Very in and out across his eight starts last year but won three times, including here (1m1f, good) in October; he could be involved if fully tuned up on this first outing since December. |

8st 11lb |
Sole win from 27 starts was in a Chelmsford novice (5f, AW) in February 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he returned after 14 months off with a heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) two weeks ago; opposable. |

Just one win to his name after 26 attempts; dropped 5lb during his 426-day absence but others still bring more pressing claims. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Caused a 33-1 surprise when winning on his stable debut in January (8.5f, AW) but after a four-month break he couldn't repeat that level returned to turf when 18th of 22 at York (7f, good) seven weeks ago; tough to predict what can be expected this time. |
12/1 |
|
18th 3 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Free-going sort who was 4-18 for Charlie Johnston, including two 1m wins last summer, and made a winning start for new connections when 33-1 for a nine-runner race at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January; absent since and has more to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2024. |
20/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 4-18 for Charlie Johnston and was second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) on his penultimate run for that yard; returns after three months off but he's still lightly raced on AW and needs watching in market on stable debut. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground; some useful runs in defeat over hurdles; something amiss over hurdles last time; started Flat campaign with a good run over 1m4f at Leopardstown. |
8/1 |
|
13th 13 |
30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Twice a winner over slightly shorter in Bahrain winter before last; bought for 55,000gns last summer and campaigned over hurdles so far by new connections notably touched off in Navan maiden (yielding), too keen and didn't get home on soft at Cheltenham when last seen in November; yard going well, not one to rule out. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |
5/2 |

2nd 5 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's and he's posted some good efforts since, including when fifth of 18 in a 0-80 at Ascot in May; beaten about 3l when sixth at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and now drops in grade. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (6) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Win here last August (6f) came off 2lb lower; several good runs this year, including in a big field at Ascot four weeks ago, but others look stronger for win purposes. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

Saddle slipped when pulled up last time; best form on the AW and hasn't been running well enough before that to suggest he can take this. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf. |

31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has improved with each of his three runs and was third of eight in a Thirsk novice (7f, good) most recently; his dam was a Group 3 winner and he could continue to progress now moving into handicaps. |
9/2 |
