9st 10lb |
Both wins on Polytrack (7f/1m) when making all in first-time headgear; currently running well here, however, and he followed a 40-1 second (7f) at the start of last month with a respectable third of 14 (1m) four weeks later; should give it another good go. |

Won twice on Polytrack for Charlie Johnston; 0-10 for current yard but a repeat of his second over 7f here four weeks ago would see him on the scene; has won at 1m. |

Dual Polytrack winner (7f/1m) for Charlie Johnston whose form in nine starts for this yard has been patchy; neck defeat over 1m here in May came in a slowly run contest and more will be needed to come out best in this. |

Three AW wins when trained by Ed Dunlop; 0-5 for current yard but was placed over 1m2f here last month; 1m too sharp last time; each-way claims if on his game. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner Brighton handicap last July; some encouragement in his 5.75l seventh here in February, but that is sandwiched between two poor efforts for new yard. |

Seven-race maiden; has had four runs in nurseries off the basement mark, third of nine at Brighton (7f) on latest; could make the frame again but he'll need improvement if he's to notch a first win. |

Well down the field on his last two starts (7f/6f) but positives can be drawn from his Newmarket debut in June (6f), and he's sure to appreciate this significant ease in grade; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a fairly useful 7f winner but he made a low-key start when a 9l sixth of nine here (6f, good to soft; 33-1) in June; should know more this time but he has a lot to find upped in trip. |

30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; has shown more than enough ability to suggest he can win a race off his basement but his last two runs were below par and he needs to up his game. |
8/1 |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

In the frame on three occasions on turf/Tapeta, but now 0-11 and vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-race maiden but he ran well for a long way at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time and was beaten only 2l; this drop back in trip looks a good move and he could make a bold bid back on turf; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Five wins in Jersey for current stable and he's returned to the mainland with two creditable efforts at Brighton (1m/7f) this month; 1lb lower on this return to AW and he has each-way claims. |

Rallied gamely to win a five-runner maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) in June but subsequent nursery form has been somewhat underwhelming; seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when fourth of six in recent Wolverhampton seller (6f) but went back up 3lb for that run; others preferred. |
