28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |

9st 10lb |
Usually gives his running and best of the rest behind an in-form rival at Epsom a month ago (1m2f, good to soft); that is more his trip though. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Pretty consistent since his Newbury win in July and perhaps found the ground too soft last time; AW winner who should run well. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in July and has continued to run with credit, including one run on good to soft; place claims. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Opened his handicap account in Newbury contest (1m2f, good to firm; beat a subsequent scorer) and not disgraced in two runs since, latest on ground possibly softer than ideal; this low-mileage 4yo may do better still. |

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 |
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. |

9st 1lb |
Not disgraced on his first start since wind surgery when fourth of seven at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, but is just 1-23 and hasn't threatened in just four outings on turf. |

Below par the last twice and it's nearly two years since sole win; however, beaten under 1l in last two C&D attempts and he's on an attractive mark back here. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins at up to 1m4f but last three have been on AW and last turf win was 2022; finished placed twice on AW this season but he was last of five over C&D last month and was beaten 12l on that stable debut; opposable. |
