18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very smart Flat horse for Andrew Balding; had wind surgery after his one blip over hurdles and then won at Musselburgh despite a slipping saddle (2m1f, good to soft); carries a penalty but looks a major player. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat in 2024; promising second on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; took backwards step at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January but has had wind surgery since and he's a key player if back on song; versatile ground-wise. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding in July 2024; promising second on last month's hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) and this step up in trip may well be a positive; he's one to consider. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
One of three runners for this yard; scored over 1m2f at Chester in May and largely consistent otherwise this term, most recently second at Beverley (upped to 1m4f; good) last Saturday; appears likely to go well again. |

3rd 5 (3) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Can make the running; won on good to firm as 2yo; also scored at Chester in May and best form when runner-up at Redcar and Ripon on his last two starts, all over 1m2f on good; has a competitive mark but some of his rivals are less exposed. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Given his useful Flat form for Charlie Johnston he's been disappointing over hurdles (0-9), and was again well held last week at Kelso; 3lb lower in future. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-8) but continues to fall in the weights. |
7/1 |
|
6th 11 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C&D clash; the task isn't an impossible one. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his C&D win in May (good to firm) and he wasn't beaten far at Goodwood next time; disappointed at Southwell since but he's now 0-12 on the AW. |
11/2 |

8th 9 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back to some form over 1m4f on turf on last two starts; 0-11 on AW, however, with two places but they were on Polytrack. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |

9st 3lb |
Worked his way back to some form and won a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m, good to firm) five weeks ago; 3lb higher today but his peak 2025 efforts were better still and he's a player. |

Progressive in handicaps, all on good to firm ground; recorded comfortable wins at Lingfield (11.5f) and Leicester (1m4f) the last twice; may not have reached his ceiling yet and commands respect upped further in grade. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has earned top weight, being a useful colt who was a Listed scorer (7f, good to firm) last term; two creditable efforts over 1m2f in same grade this season; possibilities on handicap debut, provided he takes well to first-time headgear and stays the new trip (no guarantee on breeding). |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recent efforts have not been his best but he's a dual C&D winner who has never been this low in the weights; a revival would come as no surprise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |
