9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored over 1m4f here last July; winless since but comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 1m3f handicap here 16 days ago so can't be ruled out. |

2nd 10 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
8lb lower than when winning easily here (1m4f, good to firm) last July, but hasn't matched that form since and was a long last of four at Bath (11.7f, firm) six weeks ago; can be slowly away. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-24 on the AW with six of those wins coming at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f); no joy in three turf runs in May/June but he didn't get much luck back on AW at Wolverhampton last month; now only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in April and he's in the mix back at this track. |

7-23 on the AW with all wins coming over 1m2f/1m4f on Polytrack, six of them at Lingfield; 0-7 on Tapeta, but runner-up on four occasions so he isn't easy to dismiss. |

Looked rusty after seven months off when last of seven in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap last month; this course winner can build on that now. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Soft-ground win last summer came off a 4lb lower mark and he's entitled to need this at his age back from seven months off; trainer also saddles Bulldog Spirit. |

Won over 1m4f here in June (soft) and got upset in the preliminaries before finishing tailed off on his return visit; was running well when falling back over hurdles; entitled to be involved. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has yet to score this year but is getting close, finishing second of eight over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday; 8lb lower than for his two wins last autumn. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

At the veteran stage and has finished unplaced in his last ten starts, but now 8lb below his last winning mark; could still have a big effort in him. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

Won twice on AW for Marco Botti; scored over hurdles last September; all but refused to race when trailing in last of four at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) on Monday; one to have serious reservations about at present. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Has been running well over hurdles and this dual AW winner hasn't had many Flat chances on turf (0-3); on a competitive mark and Hugh Horgan takes off 5lb. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Proving reasonably consistent, having made the frame in most starts since winning a maiden event last September; a possible danger off current mark with Lewis Saunders taking off a bonus 5lb. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

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 |

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. |
