14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here. |
4/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has five wins including one over C&D; ran well when second over C&D in June off 4lb higher mark but has been below that form in four runs since; has possibilities if a return to this track works the oracle. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got back on the scoresheet when making virtually all for a narrow success at Wetherby (1m2f) last month; finished a tailed-off last of five at Nottingham seven days later but that may have come soon and it was an experiment at 1m6f; now drops back in trip and has claims if he can bounce back. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won at 7f and twice over 1m2f, latterly last week when beating his three rivals at Wetherby (good to firm); stays 1m4f but unraced over this far. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |

9th 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; may have been ready for a break towards end of last season but there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins in 2023, at 1m1f and about 1m2f, but this C&D seemed to just catch her out in May; two good efforts at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and Pontefract (1m, good) of late but she may need an easier test than this now and would have preferred some rain. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Record of 0-5 for new stable but shapes as if this belated drop back to 1m is worth exploring; very well handicapped on best form. |

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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Enhanced his good Ripon record with a narrow win over this trip on good to soft last month; faded to finish well held at Chester since (Londoner ahead of him) but a revival can't be ruled out back here. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (14) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins last year, one of them over C&D, and he's back on the scoresheet already after his narrow win at Ripon three weeks ago; up 5lb and drawn widest, but the first two were clear last time and he's never been better. |
16/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins last year (various ground), two of them over C&D, and campaign concluded with good third at Redcar in November; respectable reappearance run at Doncaster recently and could show the benefit of that outing today. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |
12/1 |

15th 13 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |
12/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Four wins last year and has run with credit on his three starts this term, albeit he is 6lb higher than his last winning mark; should run well but needs a career-best to get his head in front. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
12-time turf winner including over C&D; hasn't made a serious impact in his two runs (1m) this season but he's now back on last winning mark and could be dangerous back up in trip; one of three runners for the yard. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November 2023 when trained by Marco Botti; down the field in all four starts for this stable, including here over 1m last time (first-time blinkers); back up in trip in a switch of headgear. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Marco Botti; won a Kempton maiden (1m) in November 2023 and a few fair runs at up to 1m3f after that; well beaten at long odds on turf on both starts for present connections; best watched for now. |
20/1 |
