27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |

Has gained all wins over 1m3f/1m4f, including at Southwell (narrowly) in October when last seen; the 8yo is still competitively treated on historical data but has something to prove back down in trip. |

29th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probably flattered by his proximity in a tactical novice chase at Cheltenham last month and has since had his limitations exposed in a Grade 2 there; however, he's back at a much more realistic level today and still has plenty of scope to progress from his convincing handicap win at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) three starts ago. |

11st 4lb |
Won a Class 4 handicap at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) last month on second chase start and faced tough task when creditable third of four in warm novice contest over C&D (good) last time; this 5yo may have more to offer but others have considerably more substance to their claims. |

All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

First past the post for the fifth time on the AW at Kempton last month, only to be disqualified for hanging left and hampering Kinetic; nudged up 2lb but she should still be competitive and she's twice a winner here. |

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. |

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. |

On last winning mark but his two efforts this year leave a big doubt over current form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham in August (Class 6; 1m2f, good); followed up at Catterick the following month (1m4f, soft; made all) before 1m6f on soft ground placed too much emphasis on stamina at Nottingham six weeks ago; could resume her progress back at 1m4f. |

Ex-William Haggas; 2-2 with the switch to handicapping for new yard, scoring at Nottingham (1m2f, good) and Catterick (1m4f, soft); the way she made all and asserted late on in the latter gives plenty of hope for 1m6f in this hat-trick bid. |
