20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Southwell novice winner (1m, AW) last November and, having been gelded, wasn't beaten far into fifth of 12 on last month's Sandown return/handicap debut (1m, good) when not enjoying a clear run; better is expected with cheekpieces given a go. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to match market expectations in his two turf races last August (heavy/good to firm); much better in both AW novices at Southwell (1m) late last year, winning on first occasion; gelded since; needs better still on this return to turf for handicap debut but they usually run well from this yard when Oisin Murphy is booked. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 8lb |
1m Thirsk novice winner for James Ferguson last season; poor form over hurdles so far for this stable and after a slightly better run at Dundalk, was well behind Taj Crown and Timandi in a Limerick claimer latest; chance at the weights (rated 70) but risks attached. |
8/1 |

9th 12 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 3f 210y |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m on good ground at Thirsk last summer for James Ferguson; poor form in juvenile hurdles; a race of this type represents his best chance of adding to his tally, judged on his recent Dundalk fourth behind a stablemate of Tyson Fury. |
4/1 |

9st 3lb |
Formerly owned by Qatar Racing and, having been placed on Tapeta at two, won over 1m at Thirsk last summer; showed a bit on hurdling debut, tailed off thrice over flights since; hard to gauge. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance last term, before failing to go on in his next two starts; however, he was gelded later in the autumn and led 2f out for an impressive 3l win when back in action five weeks ago in useful handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW); 9lb higher today but likely to stay 1m4f and, after just five races, could still have potential. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Unplaced in nine starts, but ran with credit when fourth of 11 over C&D last time and the winner has gone in again since; has worn a tongue-tie and visor before, but never together; frame possibilities; stable also runs Thomas Tallis. |
8/1 |

4th 11 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Showed some promise in three outings for the Crisfords as a 2yo, but little in five starts for this yard since returning from a long absence in December; switch to a visor will need to make a big difference. |

Some promise for the Crisfords in 2024 but absent for 402 days prior to his stable debut; he has not shown enough in his four runs since December to be of major interest. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1m2f winner who landed a fourth success for this yard when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in March; step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and return to this trip could help. |
7/1 |

6th 1 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 4-7 since joining Charlie Clover when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; has also won over 1m2f on turf; disappointing favourite at Pontefract since but was restless in the stalls; may be worth another chance. |
15/2 |

Record of 4-7 for current yard, the wins at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) and on AW, including at Lingfield (1m) on seasonal debut; this improving filly warrants respect. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
1-14 (win was over 1m2f, good to firm); yet to reproduce last year's better efforts in 2026 and finished last of nine on AW (1m4f) latest; more needed. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runner; sole win from 13 races was at Beverley (1m2f) in June 2025 off 4lb higher; out of sorts this season and although her latest start was a step back in the right direction, this first run beyond 1m2f poses an additional question. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith. |

1-14 for Charlie Johnston, the win coming off 7lb higher at Newmarket last summer (1m4f); that was in a new visor and he struggled afterwards, including in blinkers that are now reapplied; joined this yard for 1,000gns. |

4-1, shaped really well on debut when fourth of 12 in 7f Kempton novice last month, very slowly away and running green; this son of Siyouni can take a major step forward now; interesting prospect. |
