19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won four times for Charlie Johnston, including over C&D; scored on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in January but below his best on his last three starts; needs to return to form. |
33/1 |
|
13th 7 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
33-1 winner on AW (7f) in January who ran well when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; three other outings this year don't come close, albeit he had an excuse when eased down last time; not easy to predict what comes next. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |

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. |

5th 5 (9) |
7th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third here (7f, soft) on debut in July and fifth of eight over today's C&D (good) last month in a race that has worked out well; seemingly has his limitations but can give another good account. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away and came under early pressure before keeping on for close third on last month's debut here (7f, soft); could have learnt from that experience and the step up to 1m looks the right move; he's one to consider. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last season concluded with a Listed win at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) and he's run some good races in defeat this year, the best of them at Chester (1m2f, good) in May when third in the Group 2 Huxley Stakes; returns from a break and he's a leading form contender. |
11/4 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Very useful performer whose good-ground form includes a close second in this race last year and respectable sixth to stablemate Boiling Point at Goodwood latest start; has registered the majority of wins on softer, notably in Group 2 in 2024 and Listed grade in 2025 (both 1m); major player. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2024; creditable third, faring best of the runners who came off steady pace, in Group 2 at Chester (good) upped to 1m2f last time; unexposed at this distance and enters calculations despite carrying a 3lb penalty for Listed success (1m, soft) last autumn. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved effort when winning a 6f maiden at Pontefract last month, his first run without soft in the going description; failed to build on it at York two weeks ago (7f) but this is less demanding and he still has some potential; AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
19th 14 (15) |
24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive, striking at the third time of asking when leading towards the finish over 6f at Pontefract (good) 15 days ago; could be more to come now handicapping and completes a strong hand in this race for his trainer. |

27th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Finished last on debut in a York maiden (6f, good to firm) in May; much better effort when showing promise at Haydock (7f, soft) next time; perhaps didn't handle Chester latest; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers and no surprise if he bounces back, now returned to 6f on nursery debut. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Missed the break when last to finish on York debut and then got hampered at the start at Haydock (showed more); unlikely that he's done himself justice to date and he now goes in cheekpieces; the owner also has Infinity Blue. |

Maiden stayer on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; 8,000gns purchase in November; 2.75l third to Pergamon (3lb worse off) at Kelso on second run over hurdles last time (2m, good); each-way chance. |

26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown very little in her five runs and has finished tailed off in both handicaps (7f/1m); has lots to prove now upped to 1m4f and she can only be watched. |
50/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
2nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Has had little racing but not yet shown anything, at sprint trips and when upped to 7f on her handicap debut at Chester in August; all to prove on AW debut after layoff. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner (8.4f/1m) in this grade at start of this year; ran as though something was amiss when back on turf last month but has possibilities if back on song. |
11/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf. |
