1st 8 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in the main and showed lots of speed before just missing out at Redcar three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); has form at this higher level; unraced on ground slower than good. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Flopped at York two weeks ago but that was after two placed efforts including a near-miss at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if she can bounce back. |
13/2 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
6f win at Yarmouth in April and she has been placed on her last two runs, beaten just a nose at Thirsk on the first occasion; has the ability to be in the thick of it again. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish to make a successful return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; beaten at short odds but still matched that winning RPR when runner-up back there (good to firm) a week later; freshened up since; considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Hit and miss for Iain Jardine this year, twice running well in midsummer (1m1f/1m3f) but well beaten at Ayr last month; steps up in trip on a recovery mission. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
AW winner (8.5f) for David Loughnane; creditable third to Unchartedterritory at Carlisle (1m1f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) in June but he found little at Hamilton (1m3f) subsequently; stablemate Mr Lincoln looks to have a better chance. |
25/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A fair 8.5f winner for David Loughnane in 2025; little show first two runs for new yard but much better signs (in change of headgear) with third of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; not out of things on his first go over this trip. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; sported first-time blinkers when running out a surprise 33-1 winner on stable/seasonal debut at Navan (6f, yielding) 13 days ago; should go well again. |

1st 6 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |

Maiden ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; wears blinkers for the first time on yard debut and market likely good guide. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell in May but a 10lb rise proved more than enough to find him out at York since, taking his turf record to 0-9. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell two weeks ago; however, he's gone up 10lb and his turf form is at a much lower level. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Pontefract (6f, soft) on his final start last year but bounced back to form on his reappearance with a win over this C&D, making it 2-2 on the AW (gelded prior to that); not discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Got off the mark over C&D in May and followed up at Doncaster (7f) following month; posted a solid sixth of 12 in 7f York handicap last time; must enter calculations stepping up to 1m for the first time. |
10/1 |
|
6th 14 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field at Doncaster (7f, good); his winning run was ended back at Doncaster but ran with credit again in fourth. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field over this C&D (good); clearly progressive and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop her. |
