26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Frankel colt who showed promise when placed over 6f/7f on good to firm at the start of the summer; given a bit of time ahead of this third start and it's likely 1m will suit him; leading claims. |

14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
400,000gns yearling; first foal; by Frankel out of 7f AW 2yo/1m turf winner (RPR 93), whose dam was a 1m Group 1 winner; 5-6 when third of seven in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, front rank until outgunned over 1f out; yard also runs By The Book; this extra 1f will help and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

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. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Free-going sort who was 4-18 for Charlie Johnston, including two 1m wins last summer, and made a winning start for new connections when 33-1 for a nine-runner race at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January; absent since and has more to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2024. |
20/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 4-18 for Charlie Johnston and was second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) on his penultimate run for that yard; returns after three months off but he's still lightly raced on AW and needs watching in market on stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Southwell winner (1m, Tapeta) late last year and has twice won on turf (1m, good to firm) since returning from six months off in June; ran well to finish second of 13 back at Southwell (1m) a fortnight ago and much respected despite a 2lb rise. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Twice a winner over slightly shorter in Bahrain winter before last; bought for 55,000gns last summer and campaigned over hurdles so far by new connections notably touched off in Navan maiden (yielding), too keen and didn't get home on soft at Cheltenham when last seen in November; yard going well, not one to rule out. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

Saddle slipped when pulled up last time; best form on the AW and hasn't been running well enough before that to suggest he can take this. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf. |

31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has improved with each of his three runs and was third of eight in a Thirsk novice (7f, good) most recently; his dam was a Group 3 winner and he could continue to progress now moving into handicaps. |
9/2 |
