22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Poorly drawn when down the field over C&D when last seen in October; prior to that she had won well in first-time blinkers at Redcar and she remains of interest from a handicapping perspective. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Responded well to the fitting of blinkers when winning her first handicap at Redcar (5f, good) eight days ago; 3lb rise fair enough and she has run well on Tapeta, but has been handed a duff draw. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

It's now 13 outings since her last victory but she comes here in decent nick, fourth of ten in 5f Musselburgh handicap four days ago; she's one for the shortlist with blinkers added. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 9lb |
Nottingham nursery winner for Charlie Johnston ran once on AW earlier this year for Kevin Ryan before joining present yard and no luck in running in Down Royal handicap last month; cheekpieces now tried but others hold stronger claims. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Made seasonal return at Wolverhampton over 6f in April when a well beaten seventh of eight; two wins to her name as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston; last win came last August from a 2lb lower mark; out of form since then but makes stable debut here and a claimer aboard could give her a chance. |

5th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two front-running wins as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston (including here over 5f); sold for 12,000gns after a couple of lesser effots last September; well drawn for a prominent racer and interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her first run for Kevin Ryan. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won twice at two; narrow winner over 6f at Yarmouth last month on first attempt beyond 5f; will need to raise her game to make an impact here, even though the overall standard is fairly weak for a race in this grade. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned exclusively at 5f, winning twice as a 2yo; however, her efforts in a light 2025 campaign suggest this extra furlong is worth exploring; ran respectably at Sandown (soft) most recently; one to consider. |
13/2 |

3rd 2 (1) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2yo campaign with two 5f wins and returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May (5f, good); excuses in the 3yo Dash at Epsom when last seen 12 weeks ago; starts out for her new, in-form stable (same ownership) at a realistic level but she will need some luck in running from stall 1. |

Has raced exclusively at sprint distances; has failed to build on his June success (5f, good) and doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip; others preferred. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won two 5f AW handicaps early last year and good fourth of 16 in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June, when 3lb higher; however, he's 0-11 since his last win and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta early last year; ran well from 5lb out of the weights when second of six at Wolverhampton (5f) just before Christmas but never involved at Southwell at the beginning of January; freshened up since; same yard runs Sports Coach. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta at the start of the year, the second over C&D (record 33123); still 3lb above his last winning mark, but still worth a second look back here at this level. |
