11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m juvenile races at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft) in recent months; stable jockey Paul O'Brien partnered him at Huntingdon but is on Filibustering this time. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
No wins in eight; back from being gelded when a 2.5l fourth at Southwell (1m4f) but he hung left on the heavy ground (and in new cheekpieces) when a well-held third at Chester; others look safer. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Made all up the favoured stands' rail over Lingfield's extended 7f a month ago but has only gone up 3lb and he's likeably consistent; this does look more competitive than usual, however. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
The winner of three of his last six starts (1m, heavy and AW) and ran another solid race when close fourth of ten here (AW) in March; also acts on good ground but this is hotter than the races he usually contests. |

The winner of three of his last five starts and ran another solid race when third of ten off this mark over C&D five weeks ago; should remain competitive. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |
12/1 |
