5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won this under Oisin Orr from 4lb higher mark last year (third course win) and shaped as though coming to hand here last week; handles most ground and he's an interesting runner. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and same story on sole run since, over this C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago; however, he may have needed that latest run and is 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft); rain may be a help to his claims and he could bounce back. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Capable dual-purpose performer and did well to finish so close at Perth ten days ago given he pulled hard off a steady gallop; likes good or faster ground so any rain would be a negative to his chances. |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 185y |
9st 6lb |
Best form in Britain came over 2m and hasn't kicked on in two runs for new yard at big prices; wins have come on quicker ground than what's likely here. |

Three of six wins in Britain for the Johnston's were on the AW; bought for 5,000gns in October and never sighted on yard debut at Dundalk; wants better ground. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Pulled up at Kelso a month ago (lost a shoe) but had previously won over hurdles here; given his inconsistent profile, it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. |
8/1 |

7th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Fair Flat performer; pulled up on first two hurdle runs for this yard, but back on track after a spell on the Flat when winning at Carlisle last time (2m3f, good); up 4lb; should go well again. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

Capable Flat stayer but last month's return to hurdling was forgettable, finishing tailed off at Musselburgh when 33-1. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
After a pretty consistent spell on the Flat he was soundly beaten back over hurdles at Wetherby in December; however, he won twice over C&D during last season's juvenile campaign and is not written off now back here. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only defeat in his last four came when pulling hard in a tactical, small-field affair and he's chasing a C&D hat-trick having touched off Cosmic Soul off 3lb lower 17 days ago; his record on ground slower than good isn't inspiring but he's entitled to respect. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Is enjoying a very good season and notched his first victory on turf over C&D 12 days ago; up 3lb but another bold showing is on the cards. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have been on good ground at Musselburgh, racing prominently; 1lb out of the weights here but he was 3lb wrong when fifth here two weeks ago after getting no luck in running, having been dropped in from a wide draw (Lagoon Nebula second); better boxed this time and he's one to consider. |
8/1 |

5th 13 (12) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Both wins have been on good ground at Musselburgh, the first over 2m2f last August and the latest when making all over 1m6f early this month; ran creditably on latest start and when third over C&D last season, but position 3lb out of the handicap means he needs to find extra. |
