31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-15 for David Simcock; four runs for current yard, absent 582 days before this season's, in which he showed that significant ability remains; needs to build on those performances but going back up from the 1m5f of last two outings should suit and he continues down the weights; case can be made. |

4-15 for David Simcock; absent for 582 days before having two runs for new yard this spring, runs which showed that significant ability remains but he needs to build on those performances. |

4-15 for David Simcock; absent for 582 days after a heavy defeat on debut for this yard and last week's comeback run at Musselburgh was just okay (2m, good); others preferred. |

9st 9lb |
Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Won twice over 3m here last autumn (good/soft); hasn't been in such good form since but may fare better back here with cheekpieces now tried. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Course maiden winner who won two in a row at Perth (3m, good/soft) in the autumn before lesser show at Ascot (2m7f, good) in November; again soundly beaten at Haydock (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago following a break but she may have needed that run and is not written off. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Six-time winner at up to 2m in Britain but yet to hit any sort of form for current yard; career-low mark and tongue-tie tried so don't rule out. |
12/1 |

11th 7 (16) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 11lb |
Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |
18/1 |

8th 9 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had C&D form before missing 2023; not quite back to his previous level but he took a late second to one on the middle leg of a three-timer, at Bath (1m6f) in June, and should be involved again; versatile tactically. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 (9) |
7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored on AW in 2021 and 2022; missed last year but he's not been beaten far in two runs on Polytrack (1m4f/2m) this spring after a long absence; still lightly raced on turf and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip. |

16th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Won three for the Johnstons in Britain, two on quick turf at 1m2f-1m4f; best run for this yard here over 1m7f (good) for this rider last July; poor since and never in contention on seasonal reappearance at Cork (1m, good); this trip more suitable and 3lb below last win but others look more likely. |

6th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Won three races at up to 1m4f in Britain for the Johnstons; one of four runs for this yard was encouraging and there have been excuses the last twice on account of the draw and ground; off since August but not without hope. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat-racer who is 2-6 over hurdles; pulled up in soft-ground Newbury handicap 33 days ago but has claims if judged on his close second off today's mark there (2m, good) three weeks earlier. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |

Juvenile hurdler who has performed well in 2m handicaps the last twice, winning at Huntingdon then close second here; Flat record suggests he'll stay this longer distance; possibilities off a low weight. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 |
4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won the first and latest of his four races over hurdles, latterly on his handicap hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good); raised 6lb but may well have more to offer. |

26th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won over this trip and over 1m5f on sound surface last summer but disappointing (pulled hard) on reappearance/first run since gelded at Lingfield (AW); not out of this back on turf if he settles better. |

13th May 2023 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |

dwelt start, pulled hard, raced wide, towards rear, headway from 3f out, ridden 2f out, hung left and weakened over 1f out |
5/1 |

6 (5) |
10th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Showed little in three outings as a 2yo (once on Polytrack) but made an immediate impact once returning in handicaps in the summer, including wins on good ground at Pontefract (1m4f) and Newbury (1m5f); the race wasn't run to suit (pulled hard in rear) when failing in his hat-trick bid back at Newbury in August, since when he has been gelded; could go well if this pans out more favourably for him. |
