22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Produced form figures of 1211 once upped to 7f last term; has posted two duck eggs this season but raced further back than usual on reappearance and was unfavourably drawn in the Victoria Cup latest; may prove resurgent. |
16/1 |
|
21th 23 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has form figures of 12110 (turf/AW) since upped to 7f, the most recent effort perhaps excusable as it was his seasonal debut and he raced a lot further back than usual; faces no easy task at this level but may resume his improvement with the reappearance under his belt. |
25/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

3-4 since asked to tackle 7f from late August with wins at Newbury (good) and twice on AW (latterly dead-heating); big fields no problem and he can likely do better again this term; player if tuned up. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last summer and ran well on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) next time; disappointing when upped to 1m at Kempton but he's certainly bred to stay; still lightly raced. |
20/1 |
|
12th 10 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly off the mark in a Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm) in August and beaten less than a length into third of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight later; the longer trip should suit and not discounted on AW debut. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
28-1 and promising third of nine on debut in June; raced freely when a disappointing favourite at Leicester (good) next time but he bounced back on his return to Salisbury when narrowly landing a novice (also 7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected on handicap debut. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
225,000euros breeze-up buy; remains a maiden, and is on the verge of becoming frustrating, but the Newbury and Newmarket races he contested in August and September have worked out very well; rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par at Newbury four weeks ago, when failing to settle; however, prior to that he went close in a small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and can be in the picture if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; similar form in two handicaps around 1m this term, a solid third of 13 at Hamilton (good) in May backed up by a narrow second at Salisbury (good to firm) last time; far from disgraced over 1m2f in between; this drop back in trip asks a question but he's in form and is yet another contender. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on AW and she's 0-11 on turf; finished placed a few times on good or quicker ground last summer but she's been quiet in both runs this season and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins at Wolverhampton, including one over this trip, but has run well on Polytrack; should be all the better for last month's return when fourth of six over 6f back at Wolverhampton (first and third have won since); a player. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to register a victory but he arrives in decent nick, fading late when seventh in 1m2f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; not out of things back in trip in a change of headgear. |
11/2 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Is 0-15 but arrives in good form, fourth of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 15 days ago; not taken lightly at these weights on his first go over 1m2f. |

4th 5 (5) |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |
6/1 |
|
9th 10 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had initial form figures of 11211 (including C&D win) since his return in April but he's gone off the boil on last two starts; handicapper may have finally got him for now. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off for 2025 with C&D claiming win in October for Eve Johnson Houghton; not discredited for his new yard after five months off when fifth of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; needs considering. |

8st 13lb |
Placed on all six handicap starts, most recently second of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago when twice suffering interference from the winner in the closing stages; every chance he'll be bang there. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Placed on all four handicap starts last year (7f/6f, good to firm/good), on the final occasion keeping on for 1l third here when the drop back to 6f looked against him; returned with solid third at Kempton (7f, AW) in March; major player for trainer who has won two of the last four runnings. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Began his career on dirt in the UAE but he showed better form on turf for Andrew Balding in the second half of 2025, winning a 6f maiden at Newbury before placed efforts in handicaps at Newbury (7f) and Newmarket (6f); returns to action with his stable in fine form; contender. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Bit in and out since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, but it was a good effort in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) in May and also when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. |
10/1 |

3 (3) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, her best effort when beaten a neck in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) on penultimate start; returns from 82 days and and still to fully convince over this far. |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in C&D event when last seen two months ago, taking AW record to 541; may show further progress in the retained headgear; respected. |
7/2 |

9 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win this season but has posted some good efforts, most recently when fourth (just behind Golden Redemption) at Newbury (7f, good) last month; should be fine back at 6f; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
3 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won a Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) last June; 0-7 in handicaps since but it was a solid run when second of nine over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; chance off the same mark. |
