11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Tongue-tie went on for six-runner handicaps on his last two hurdle races (2m1f/2m) and he won them both; his last Flat race was in 2024 for Tim Easterby and that was a pretty solid campaign; acts on Tapeta, unraced on Polytrack; needs to be at his best on return to Flat but no shock if he's a major player. |
6/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |

Back to form in first-time tongue-tie when winning at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good; third has since won on the Flat); up 4lb; chance. |
9/4 |

1st 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't kicked on since making winning hurdles/stable debut at Kelso (2m, juvenile) in March 2025, failing to see out races at Doncaster, Kelso, and Ludlow; hopes are pinned on a revival with an added tongue-tie; trainer is 5-11 (45%) over jumps here in the last five years. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three months off before returning to Flat with a win at Ascot (2m, good; 12 ran) three weeks ago, always prominent as 11-8 favourite; up 4lb and lacks any experience of this track but a huge player if he takes to it. |
2/1 |
|
1st 8 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in all four staying handicaps (includes 2m win) for Jessica Macey in 2024; three hurdle wins since joining this yard and a good effort on the Flat when second at Kempton (2m, AW) in April 2025; respected on his return to this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Failed to fire at Kempton last time (2m5f, good) but seemed suited by the step up to 2m4f (soft) the run before when the front two pulled clear; 3-6 as a hurdler and won't mind getting back on a slower surface; considered. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |
6/1 |

1st 3 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) and subsequent defeats have come in better races than this; didn't run at all badly in the latest at Kelso (2m5f); back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared. |
9/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his third chase start; disappointing since but this 5yo isn't written off today; won on good to soft ground on the Flat. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival. |
25/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't take to hurdling on stable debut at Stratford three weeks ago but she ran some good races on the Flat earlier in the year for Andrew Balding and is not ruled out now back in this code. |

8th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Modest ten-race maiden on the Flat for Charlie Johnston; just did enough at 33-1 to win tactical race at Warwick (2m, good) on stable/hurdle debut; pulled up in a Listed race next time and beaten 10l at Catterick latest, but she still needs considering on this handicap hurdle debut. |

17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Low-grade handicapper on the Flat for Charlie Johnston; just did enough to win tactical race at Warwick (2m, good) on last month's stable/hurdle debut but the form isn't anything to get too excited about and she was pulled up after racing too freely in a Listed race 18 days ago. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden (0-6); got no further than the second hurdle (unseated rider) in the race won by On The Bubble at Hexham a fortnight ago; it's difficult to envisage her having a say; look elsewhere. |
50/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Very modest on the Flat from 6f-1m6f; likely improver for this switch to hurdling. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
28th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Holds dismal claims on her AW form (6f-1m2f); needs major improvement for the new trip and change of surface. |
