27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to kick on for Charlie Johnston and he was gelded before coming in last of five in 1m4f Kempton handicap in January; starts out for a new yard with something to prove; first-time tongue tie. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bred to be better than he showed in his four runs as a 2yo, including when sent off the 11-8 favourite for his nursery debut at Newcastle in November (1m); gelded since and this step up to middle distances could see him take a step forward. |
100/30 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Held by Beyond The Bar on Hamilton running last time but should still do better judged on pedigree, being half-brother to a useful performer for his connections. |

1st 8 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive 3yo who landed three-runner event on his handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f) in May and went very close to defying a 4lb rise in another small field at Doncaster one week ago; up another 4lb but there's plenty of stamina in the family and this trip can unlock more. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good) three weeks ago came in just a three-runner race but he came through late in the day to deny a respected rival who won starts either side; he'd also shown plenty of promise before that and 4lb rise could seriously underestimate his potential. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on reappearance; failed to improve on that when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in another novice event three weeks later, but he still looks capable of better and his dam was a 2m4f winner, so this extra 3f for handicap debut will surely help. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has improved since handicapping, including an easy win on his Lingfield reappearance (1m, AW) in April; has shown a tendency to edge left, though, and whether he is as effective on turf is a moot point; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won in good style here (1m) on seasonal/handicap debut in April and made the frame on both starts since, more recently when upped to 1m2f at Salisbury 12 days ago; returns to this track with first-time blinkers fitted; may still have more improvement to come. |
2/1 |
|
4th 7 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Duly stepped up on his 2yo efforts when winning a Class 6 handicap in good style at Lingfield last month (1m, AW); beaten a nose at Southwell under a penalty nine days later (also 1m; winner gone in again since) and he a further 6lb higher today; stepping up to 1m2f looks sure to prompt further progress though. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive once upped to 1m as 2yo, winning twice (good to firm/soft) before his Listed fourth in France (soft); may have needed last month's comeback run in the race won by Laureate Crown at Sandown (1m, good to firm; 14-1 from 20-1) but he's not obviously well treated. |
25/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won Ripon novice (1m, good to firm) last August on third start then followed up in four-runner nursery over this C&D (soft); creditable Listed fourth in France (1m, soft) in September but returns to a handicap off a mark 13lb higher than for his course win; further improvement needed. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Promising third on 1m Ripon debut (good to firm) last summer and returned to make all with ease in a 1m3f novice there (good to soft) six weeks ago; that was a weak race but he could do no more than hack up and there could be plenty more to come. |
1/3 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Having been outpaced he kept on for a promising third at 8-1 on debut here (1m, good to firm) last August; gelded since; his pedigree suggests that he will relish this step up in trip on his reappearance; strong contender. |
11/8 |
|
6 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Related to plenty of winners in these silks, notably Group-placed 1m2f-1m6f winner Mekong (RPR 113); dam 1m4f winner (106); a top 2yo stable too. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October off a mark 4lb lower than today's but he's been below that level in two starts this year, latest at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; steps up in trip with stamina to prove. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (12) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No show on last month's Windsor reappearance (1m, good to firm), but relished the conditions when winning a Pontefract nursery (1m, soft) in October; interesting if conditions remain testing with a run under his belt. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved on final 2yo start, comfortably landing a nine-runner nursery at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October; that was his first run on testing ground and it remains to be seen if he can build on it back on a faster surface. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't run badly at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago when fifth of seven in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he probably needs more help from the handicapper before he posts his first win. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tried a few trips this year and hasn't looked well handicapped at any of them; continues to drop in the weights and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Modest maiden who was fitted with a tongue strap when a below-par ninth of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

Neck ahead of Fille Imbassee on identical terms when third over C&D last month (good to firm); appeal undiminished by Ffos Las blowout since, when not taking to soft ground; 2lb badly in. |
13/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-7; second in 9.4f AW maiden in April and third of five in handicap at Leicester (upped to 1m2f, good to firm) latest; tried cheekpieces on penultimate start; this could be a weak race but he may still prove vulnerable. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Said to have run flat at Chester before over-racing and not seeing out 1m4f last time; it's likely this mark is within range but she had plenty of racing last year and has again this term, and she's vulnerable to improvers now. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
3yo who was runner-up at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April then went one better Salisbury (good) on her first crack at 1m2f; disappointing at Chester seven days later but that run may have come too soon; stayed on well at Salisbury and could be suited by the step up to 1m4f; in calculations. |

Eight-race maiden whose handicap form, latterly over 1m6f, isn't particularly convincing; may benefit from the drop back in trip but others have stronger claims. |

8th 6 (7) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Little impact since handicapping and when third at Redcar 16 days ago (first run at the trip) she was still beaten nearly 10l in a three-runner race; headgear dispensed with today; not solid. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Unplaced in six starts and unraced beyond 1m2f; usually held up in her races but not sure if this will pan out ideally for her; blinkers return. |
