1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in two handicaps at Catterick (1m7f/2m3f, good/soft) in January before respectable third in claimer there (1m7f, good); continues to edge down weights and might not be far away; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

Two wins in Britain in 2022 came at 1m4f/1m6f on quickish ground; returned from a 578-day absence over 1m4f here last time when last of 14; hard to fancy based on that. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible. |

Was running over further when last seen for the Johnston yard more than 18 months ago; sold for 16,000gns since; new trainer is 0-29 with Flat runners in recent seasons; can't be considered unless there's good money around. |

Turf win at 1m3f but also ran some fair races at 2m for the Johnstons; sold 16,000gns since last seen in October and is not ruled out as he can go well fresh; first-time blinkers no help on latest, cheekpieces today. |

Ended last year in poor form over hurdles and was again well beaten when returned to the Flat in February (1m4f, AW): needs subsequent wind op to have made a massive difference; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

0-15 on the Flat but did show some ability at a low level over staying trips; no impact in three hurdle runs here this spring but he faces a more realistic assignment on this handicap debut. |
