14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 216y |
12st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |
5/2 |

Four-time Flat winner for Michael bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in both hurdle starts for new stable; may be of more interest on better ground. |

Four-time Flat winner for Micheal Bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and was soundly beaten on hurdles debut at Down Royal last month (2m1f, yld-sft); may need better ground. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden for two yards who's done a lot of his racing over further and proved wildly inconsistent this year; the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers will need to make a difference. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but twice beaten only a length in handicaps, for Andrew Balding at Sandown last summer (1m6f; 11lb higher) and for this yard at Musselburgh two runs back (1m4f); had a shocker last time but he's better than that. |
6/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-11, but has run some of his best races at around this trip as when beaten just over a length into fourth of eight at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month; could go well from the same mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive form last term, culminating in a 1m6f Listed second on soft, and better still when she got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) this June; not disgraced facing a stiff task in Goodwood Group 2 four weeks ago but needs to resume improvement. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's fine improvement culminated in her 1m6f Listed second at Ascot (soft); got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) on latest outing but she did not see this trip out as well as Term Of Endearment or Sueno when they clashed in York Group 3 the time before; others seem to have the edge. |
20/1 |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Limited Flat maiden who also ran to a modest level in three races over hurdles; didn't get far on chase debut last month; best watched. |
10/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Modest form in his previous two maiden hurdles and made it 0-12 on the Flat when tailed off in a 1m3f seller at Goodwood four weeks ago (good to firm; 100-1); readily opposed. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins for Charlie Johnston in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; mixed form since and may be better for the run after 301-day break; refused to enter stalls on intended reappearance. |
20/1 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Course winner for Charlie Johnston; struggled for this yard last summer and returns from nine months off tonight; did win first time out as a 3yo but would want to see some support before considering him. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner last year for Charlie Johnston, also a 2m second on AW last December; best effort for this yard came when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in May but he's struggled in four starts since; steps back up in trip with a revival needed. |
