28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last July, but he's been up and down since then and was only fifth of six at Salisbury two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to get back near best. |
7/1 |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two creditable efforts at Epsom (8.5f/1m4f) from his three runs this season; could go well again back at his optimum trip but his last win was 13 months ago and he's ideally suited by good or slower ground. |
11/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f and he ran well over the extended 1m here on reappearance, before a lesser show at Sandown; his record at this track is very solid, but those on good to firm and at 1m4f less so. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt. |
9/4 |

2nd 10 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Successful over 1m2f at Newbury (good to firm) off this mark for Ian Williams last summer; creditable start for new yard after nine months off (had wind surgery) when third of five over 1m2f here (good) 12 days ago; entitled to build on that but 9.4f at Wolverhampton is the shortest trip he's tackled prior to this. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won for Ian Williams at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last July and runner-up three times subsequently; sold for 20,000gns last October and absent since (wind op in interim); may be best watched on stable debut. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |
50/1 |

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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine in an apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) on his penultimate start, but is just 1-26 and most of his best form has come on the AW. |
7/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success came over 1m4f here (for Barry Brennan) in March 2024; in decent nick for his current yard, staying on into fourth of nine at Newbury (1m3f) 15 days ago so not ruled out back up in trip. |
9/1 |

4th 11 (10) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
0-20 in handicaps and was behind Grey Fox when last of eight at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; down the pecking order. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner; picked off by late arrivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) earlier this month and a day later changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales; could have further wins in him. |
7/1 |
