28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Stuck his neck in front in the final strides over C&D (good) on seasonal debut, ending a three-year losing spell; still well handicapped on peak form and commands respect under very promising young amateur Henry Callan, who has built up an impressive strike-rate. |
5/2 |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

No wins since 2023 and although he was running well when last seen, that was late last year; probably one to watch unless backed. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came over C&D last October; has been running consistently well on turf and she has scope to improve further back on AW; runs without hood worn on last three starts; holds claims. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Delivered on debut promise when winning 8.6f AW novice in the autumn; yet to make any significant progress this year and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but she kept on well for third at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month and will probably be on the premises again here; tongue-tie removed. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

16 (6) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |
|
10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

10th 5 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |
16/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Pipped at Chester (1m4f, good) in July and returned to form at Southwell (upped to 1m6f, AW) 15 days ago, getting off the mark at 14th attempt; back up 5lb but may have more to offer at this trip. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just missed out at Chester (12.3f, good) in July but her form has slipped in the wrong direction in three subsequent runs; edging back down the weights but she's now 0-13 and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C&D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled for Archie Watson this year, his one placed effort coming when second in a Beverley seller in July (8.5f, good to firm); last of ten back in a handicap in August; too much to prove. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Looked useful when winning 1m AW handicap for Sir Michael Stoute in spring 2023 but has largely been disappointing for new stable this year; went close in C&D seller (good to firm) last month but almost certainly needs to better that performance in this handicap. |
