1st 8 (10) |
8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four starts and he has not lived up to the form he showed first time, one year ago; poor last of ten on handicap/AW debut when upped to 1m at Kempton ten days ago, which sees him over 1m2f (could help) in blinkers today. |
8/1 |

10th 8 (9) |
28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All three starts over 7f; disappointed on his second outing last summer having finished within 4l of Chaldean on his Newbury debut, but having been off for 11 months he ran with credit when fifth of ten at Salisbury 15 days ago; up a furlong for this handicap/AW debut and is bred to be better than he has shown; respected. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Stablemate of Lion Tamer; absent since a disappointing at Sandown last July; promising fifth in above-average race (won by Chaldean) at Newbury earlier that month and looks interesting on that debut form; market support should be heeded. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f second last year on his only race at Sandown; second off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start was easily the best of his four runs on turf this season but his only win remains an AW maiden. |
11/1 |
|
10th 9 (10) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked to be suited by the step back up in trip when runner-up at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite not looking at home on the track; may be able to build on that performance today and he's a possible. |
10/1 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway on outer after 3f, soon hampered rival, edged left and hampered 4f out, hung left from over 2f out, soon led, no extra and headed towards finish |

Won at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) last October for former trainer off 6lb higher mark; disappointing for current yard this year and has plenty to prove. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 14 races was at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) last October off 6lb higher; tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (which are now removed) on latest outing; this is a rethink on trip, following three attempts over 1m, and she's never been beyond 1m2f; bit to prove. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) last October (now 3lb lower) when trained by now-retired William Jarvis; hasn't fired for current stable yet and first-time cheekpieces are now applied; looks like she needs to step back up in trip. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today. |
7/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; respectable fourth in a Racing League event over 2m on Southwell's AW latest; feasibly handicapped and would enter the reckoning if the ground remains on the soft side. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |

Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024 on Flat; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up on penultimate start; beaten 20l when last on his sole AW start in 2023 and others have more compelling claims. |

8/1 |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference. |
28/1 |
|
10th 8 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Campaigned at Southwell this year, hinting at a revival in two starts prior to a heavy defeat; remains a long time since sole win; chance depends on how well he reacts to first-time visor. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

1-23; not beaten far albeit out of the frame in both starts here (1m3f/1m4f) since returning in January; needs to find a bit more for the longer trip. |

13th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Changed hands after winning Flat seller for William Haggas last summer (1m3f, soft; RPR 79); just a respectable fourth in uncompetitive Plumpton maiden (2m, good) on last month's stable/hurdle debut and needs that outing to have brought him on significantly. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Both wins came over 1m2f in the spring of 2024, including here; 0-18 subsequently and he's still 7lb above his last winning mark, but he goes well fresh (has won after a longer break) and finished third on his comeback in this race last year; likely to be competitive. |

3rd 4 (8) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has run some really good races in defeat this season, including over C&D on good/good to firm; latest soft-ground Ascot second (Grizedale third) shows he's still in form but he's been beaten on his last 17 starts and suspicion he might find at least one too strong again. |
