25th May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who made it two wins in a row when winning 7f nursery here (heavy) last August, and returned to winning ways on reappearance over this C&D (soft) last month; had just four rivals to beat last time and he's 5lb higher in this hotter race, but every chance he'll make another bold bid. |

Good second on nursery debut at Haydock last month (7f, heavy) but lesser efforts since (latest on AW); clearly a mudlark so should relish these conditions; chance |

Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in his first two starts after reappearing in April, but the handicapper has been in charge in three outings since; 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

2nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turf winner at about 7f; has raced over a range of trips for new connections (1m, 1m4f and 7f) and didn't get much luck in running at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; worth another go at 1m but is quite exposed and unraced here. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Currently 2-3 on Tapeta but he's generally struggled since leaving Karl Burke, his only win coming when allowed his own way in a small field last summer (been dropped in lately); the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
5-24; hit by the handicapper after making all at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June, and has taken a while to come back down the weights (now 3lb below that winning mark); posted low-key seasonal reappearance at Leicester; cheekpieces introduced seeking more. |
25/1 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Scored off 3lb higher at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June but he's not come close to that form since and was seventh of nine on Leicester reappearance last month; plenty to prove and four of his five wins were as 2yo; cheekpieces added. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up. |
5/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-13); regularly placed (5f-7f); hasn't been at his best in three runs this year, although there were some mitigating circumstances at Salisbury (6f) last time; others preferred. |

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. |
