20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is 2lb lower than for his last win (8.6f here in June) and fully effective over C&D; not solid but couldn't discount with confidence. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-10 here but scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; campaigned over shorter since March and won again at that venue (8.5f) in June; case to be made now he's back on that winning mark. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form figures of 31122 since handicapping and that latest second was a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f; lost right hind shoe) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher in this similar race and he's open to more progress back on Polytrack; big player. |

2nd 12 (7) |
23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive since handicapping, winning 7f events here and at Kempton this spring; solid second at Bath last time (1m, firm; slowly-run race); could take another step forward back on AW and he has the assistance of a leading amateur; would have more to prove over an extended mile if they go a strong pace |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
14th May 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has proved a different proposition since switching to handicaps following a gelding operation, winning two of his last three starts (all three over 7f on AW); now steps up to a 1m (he's speedily bred) on this return to turf under a penalty, 4lb higher than for last week's Kempton win; respected in his hat-trick attempt. |

9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

5th 1 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

None too consistent and he has been well beaten on his last two starts; has the lowest BHA rating in the field and has to concede weight all round so he looks up against it. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Blew hot and cold for his former stable and it has been a similar story for James Owen, his win at Southwell and second over 1m here surrounded by lesser efforts; chance if on one of his good days; cheekpieces added to usual accessories. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Emphatic win on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) early last month; disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a clear second at Kempton (hood reapplied) 11 days ago; on unchanged mark and has claims if he can back that up. |

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. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

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. |

Better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell (7f) under Gina Mangan in January; never involved over 1m at Doncaster next time but shaped as if still in form when fourth back at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago. |

Ran some good races on turf last season, including a 7f Class 4 win on good to soft at Chepstow; better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell 12 weeks ago; still looks well treated up just 2lb but he has a bit more to prove over today's trip. |

Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact. |

Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song. |

1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference. |

More talent than many with his rating but he is often the architect of his own demise, as when virtually refusing to race here three weeks ago; prior to that he'd won a C&D handicap for today's rider so a revival wouldn't be a total shock; headgear off today. |
