1st 2 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won three middle-distance AW handicaps in February and kept on best to beat four rivals on hurdling debut at Stratford in June (2m, good to firm; runner-up won there last month); ground slower than good would be new to him but he's an obvious one to consider. |
5/4 |

1st 5 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won three in a row on AW (1m2f/1m4f) in February and he was a creditable second when upped to 1m6f in a Redcar handicap (good to firm) last month; takes on two previous winners on this hurdling debut but he has some fair form on the Flat and he's not ruled out. |

2nd 2 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made the breakthrough, off 4lb lower, at Newcastle (1m2f; 6-4 favourite) in January; consistent thereafter (322) without any noticeable uplift for blinkers; returns from a short break in suitable company but with a few of the others open to improvement. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over 1m2f here last month, his second start for Lemos De Souza; subsequent third of five behind Cospicua at Kempton (1m4f) was respectable, and he kept on well for second behind Wicksey here (1m2f; first-time blinkers) on Wednesday; the most exposed runner in the field but a likely contender nevertheless. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Well backed when winning over C&D last month (Onyeisi second); finished behind Onyeisi when third at Kempton two weeks ago (1m4f); now has blinkers fitted (has run okay in cheekpieces before). |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Modest form on his first eights starts but he did step forward a little to convincingly make the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) 18 days ago; that was his first go at 1m6f so this further step up in trip may help him to defy a 6lb rise. |
2/1 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-8 and yet to attempt beyond 1m4f, but he has on more than one occasion suggested he was worth a go over a staying trip; interesting. |
5/2 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
A maiden after seven starts but would probably have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when keeping-on fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month; another 2lb lower here and has a fighting chance if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ten races in all and on a roll recently with wins when upped in trip at Carlisle (1m3f) and Newcastle (C&D); he's been coming from off the pace and, despite scoring by just a neck last time, leaves the impression he has more to offer; a leading contender raised just 3lb since latest start. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Opened his account in Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good; Hey Havana third) last time on second run since being gelded and returning from a layoff; up 3lb but he ran creditably in both of his starts here and this extra furlong could help him progress again; player. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden who was a length second of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in April; struggled in two starts since and now has a bit to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 13 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden who is interesting on her penultimate effort, namely good second in C&D handicap when wearing first-time cheekpieces and just in front of Lady Of Clover on worse terms; now blinkered. |
11/2 |

7th 7 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No impact on AW on first five starts but better signs switched to turf last month, finishing 1l second of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); enters calculations off an unchanged mark. |

Dead-heated at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but she's struggled at around 1m2f in two starts since; cheekpieces, which were worn last time, are retained. |

9th 9 (5) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Has been handicapping since September, getting off the mark when dead-heating over 7f at Newcastle in December; never involved and way back over 1m2f there since and needs to show this is her trip; cheekpieces on. |

6th 9 (7) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when dead-heating over 7f here in December; she will need to improve again for the extra distance if she is to follow up. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Had fair AW form for Charlie Johnston last winter, winning over 1m2f and twice runner-up; showed a flash of form when fourth at Fairyhouse in June; no sign of that on last four starts. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; was sporting cheekpieces for the first time when well behind Trust No One at Newcastle (1m2f) on penultimate start and made little impact at Lingfield subsequently; blinkers added over this new trip; risky proposition. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Appeared to show improvement when third at Newcastle on his penultimate start (stepped up from 7f to 1m2f) but he failed to back it up when beaten 15.5l at Newcastle one month later (cheekpieces first time, retained); others look safer. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (5) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Improved for the step up to this trip when third to Trust No One and Onyeisi in a C&D handicap 26 days ago; cheekpieces now added and may do better, especially in a more truly-run affair. |

No real improvement for the switch to nurseries in the autumn; upped in trip for his reappearance and could well have more to offer (dam a Musidora winner); stable also run Onyeisi. |

First foal of a triple Group 3 winner for the Johnston yard; unexposed colt but he didn't live up to expectations in maiden/novice events and was only sixth of ten on nursery debut at Leicester (1m, good) last month; finished behind Bird Of War last time and needs to raise his game back on Tapeta; stablemate of Onyeisi. |
