3rd 3 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
3lb lower than when winning here (1m4f) in September 2024 and ran well to finish fourth of ten in a 0-105 contest over C&D (first-time blinkers, now removed) in January but a five-month break and high draw do pose questions. |
9/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time winner with form at this track; not far off his best RPR when second in a small field at Ascot (1m4f) and a steady pace was no good for his patient tactics when behind Great Bedwyn and Mrs Twig at Kempton two weeks ago; fair shout should this pan out more favourably. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today. |
7/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; respectable fourth in a Racing League event over 2m on Southwell's AW latest; feasibly handicapped and would enter the reckoning if the ground remains on the soft side. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |

Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024 on Flat; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up on penultimate start; beaten 20l when last on his sole AW start in 2023 and others have more compelling claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f, including here but hasn't won for almost three years; even so, has been placed on five successive occasions and is capable of going close from this mark now back on this surface. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins at this track, the latest a C&D defeat of Sun Dancer Girl in January; solid placed efforts on his last two starts and he has the assistance of a top amateur jockey; big player. |

3rd 8 (6) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Most runs and both wins have been on the AW but has comparable turf form, including a second over C&D in 2022; needs respecting after a near miss at Kempton (2m). |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |

Dual winner for Charlie Johnston; fair effort on his stable debut in a maiden hurdle here in May; booking of Billy Lee suggests better is expected today. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; won twice on the Flat for Charlie Johnston on good ground; rated 83 in that sphere; signed off British career with a tailed off finish at Hamilton in September; makes hurdling/stable debut now in a first-time tongue tie. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to soft but both wins (at 1m3f and about 1m) on good; ran up to his best when a close second of seven at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in August but needs to pull out more against in-form rivals. |

10th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has looked quirky/awkward at times; perhaps hard to place after winning first two starts for the Johnstons and he left them for 3,800gns in February; new yard had a winner with a recent recruit last week but this one might be best watched. |
