27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins (one for this jockey) and a second since asked to go beyond an extended 1m; has form at shorter but wide draw could put him on the back foot early; one of three runners for John Butler. |

1st 6 (4) |

Off the mark at the 16th attempt when overcoming adversity to win a C&D handicap in February; similar form when second at Kempton last month and subsequent turf flop easy enough to forgive (yet to show anything on grass); better expected back on AW and with Billy Loughnane booked. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon. |

3rd 7 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
AW form features his sole win, as a 2yo, and close second at Chelmsford when last seen; by mo means certain to go one better, with turf record (76537) not totally convincing. |
5/1 |

11 (10) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Made all to win a 7f novice at Kempton last December; 0-5 in handicaps this year and finished behind Arctician at Kempton 13 days ago (tongue tie first time; well backed); something better could be brewing. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |

4th 8 (1) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; generally consistent but has only won once and didn't build on that back on turf last time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was at Ripon (1m, good) last April but he's run plenty of good races since; last week's fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f) was another respectable effort but he remains 2lb above the mark he defied at Ripon. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |
|
14 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |

4 (7) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |

7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-19 and his best form has come on the AW, albeit he didn't run very well at Southwell last time and his previous fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) was better; frame material again based on that effort. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice here in March prior to getting off the mark at Newcastle (1m, AW), winning by a nose; ran a solid race when fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) 27 days ago and has claims back on this surface. |
9/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Placed twice in March prior to making it 17th time lucky at Newcastle (1m) a fortnight ago; arrives fit and in form but eighth is the best he's managed in four previous turf outings. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Top-class pedigree and came good on his fifth start when blinkered at Windsor (1m, soft), where he was nicely on top at the finish; up 6lb but could have turned a corner. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Top-class pedigree but he ran to a modest level in three novice/maiden runs and he fared no better on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month (1m2f, good to firm); too soon to write him off and dropping in trip/class in new blinkers could see him fare better. |
11/2 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120), so going handicapping off a mark of 66 has to catch the eye; latest was easily his closest finish, when about 7l sixth of nine in Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm; 50-1) in April, and he's been gelded since; needs better but market confidence would be interesting. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Mixed results during a busy past few weeks, though did set a new personal best when beaten only 2l in a C&D handicap (good) two starts ago; needs to bounce back from last week's Hamilton flop. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-8 but probably his best run yet when coming from behind to be 2l off Dwindling Funds at Ayr (1m2f, good); that was only his second run in blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
10 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who produced one of his better runs when 3l sixth of eight in first-time blinkers (retained) at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last Tuesday; however, he needs another step forward to get off the mark today. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Best qualifying run for Iain Jardine came at Ayr (1m, good) but it was still modest stuff; 50-1 for stable/handicap debut when beating two home at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; still early days, however, and he'll require a market check. |
