18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang when seeing off his eight rivals over C&D (good) six weeks ago, albeit benefitting from a fine front-running ride from Danny Tudhope, poaching a clear early lead which he never looked like relinquishing; doubtful he'll be allowed as much rope this time. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Hamilton (8.5f; 20-1) last month; backed that up, splitting a Jim Goldie pair (third has won since), under a 5lb penalty there (1m1f) next time; 1lb lower now and has no issues with this AW track (311224); interesting. |

Record of 211 since wearing visor, the wins at Southwell (7f, AW) and Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back on career-high mark and back up in class but may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner for Charlie Johnston in June 2023; off the mark for this yard over 7f at Southwell when visored for only a second time and he kept on gamely; just 3lb higher. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-14 since a 1m Newmarket handicap win for Charlie Johnston in June 2023, but latest 1m Doncaster second was only his second outing for Denis Quinn and he went through that race as if this drop back to 7f may be in his favour. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who posted a fairly encouraging reappearance run at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, when rallying for fifth of eight; each-way possibilities if building on that run now back up in trip. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
10yo who made a winning reappearance here in 2024 (sole course win from 29 attempts) and was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh last September; however, his campaign petered out tamely and a return to form is needed on his seasonal debut. |
25/1 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |
|
1 (7) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

Hit form with vengeance through the second half of 2025, winning four of his last five (all here, 1m-1m2f); the bulk of those were on soft to heavy, and he has risen a combined total of 23lb in the handicap; merits respect, but is returning from a 223-day absence; rain would help. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Made it three course wins from his last four starts when scoring over C&D (soft) nine days ago; came clear with an in-form runner-up last time and this rejuvenated 7yo may well take a 4lb penalty in his stride. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Suited by plenty of give in the ground and comes here in good form having won two of his last three races, both here, first over 1m2f on good, latest over 1m on soft (won by 4.25l); up 8lb but looks the one to beat. |
