9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
20/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added. |

Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) one week ago; 2-3 under amateur riders and he's run respectably here before; 2lb well in under the penalty and rider Paul Hainey has already impressed this season. |

Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Reliable type who returned from over three months off with a creditable fourth over 1m4f here three weeks ago; versatile trip-wise and stays this far; each-way hopes. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Has gained all turf wins over the extended 1m3f at Windsor, including in three of her last four outings; switching back to elsewhere isn't ideal but she has bits of Epsom form; better than ever and enters calculations. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb. |
4/5 |

1st 13 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five turf wins were all secured in a tongue-tie, with additional cheekpeices on last three occasions; has never won on AW and after latest campaign on that surface he now returns to grass with good handicapping case to be made; no headgear looks a negative, though. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Eyecatching second at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on his penultimate run, but he's a frequent slow starter who was always in rear at Lingfield last Saturday; needs to bounce back again after that and he's now 0-18 on AW. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Soft-ground hurdle winner in March off 2lb lower; out of sorts when last seen hurdling but in good form on the Flat since the blinkers went on, latest when a close third at Windsor this month; could play a part if the headgear continues to have a positive effect back over hurdles. |

Habitual slow-starter who again got going too late to land a blow when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m3f) ten days ago; the visor he wore that day is retained; has just one win from 15 goes and needs something extra. |

Has had just two AW races, including when second as 2yo; sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f at Ffos Las last August off 2lb higher, on the first of two starts with a tongue-tie which returns today; not so good since, with blinkers on last two outings, but the tongue-tie might help. |

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. |
28/1 |

10th 8 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

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. |

8th 6 (9) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

10st 8lb

Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |

9st 9lb |
Gained his first win for this stable at Doncaster (1m4f, good) this month and ran well at Southwell (1m3f, AW) six days ago; still fairly treated off this 2lb higher mark and has good claims. |
5/2 |

2nd 7 (5) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Hit traffic when not beaten far over C&D late last month and duly justified favouritism at Doncaster on Saturday; no penalty for that apprentice race win and is shortlisted under the experienced Fletcher Yarham. |

C&D winner who defied a ten-month absence when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January, but a rise in the weights seems to have found him out twice since. |

7th 8 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f. |

Generally very disappointing since 1m3f Kempton novice win on British Flat debut in January 2024, but has become well handicapped and is likely to have entered a few notebooks when keeping on steadily from the rear for sixth in recent Chelmsford race won by Arcadian Nights; watch the betting. |
