2nd 9 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb. |

1st 10 (6) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record in his first five handicaps read 21121, but finished over 7l behind Euphonia at Haydock (7f, soft) last month; may have found the ground too testing and now 10lb better off, but he still has work to do. |
7/1 |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race). |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Third of nine on his debut at Brighton (6f, good) last May but went backwards from that in two subsequent runs last season; still unexposed and now goes handicapping at this new trip but he needs to raise his game after six months off. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May before respectable third of seven at Lingfield (1m1f, soft); hampered at the start when she flopped here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight and she's much better than that, but she needs to bounce back with a career best if she's to come out on top. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All races at up to 7f until finishing close up over 1m on the Rowley course in May, then held off an in-form rival at Nottingham (also on good ground); seemed to find 1m1f on soft a shade too much at Lingfield since but her claims are more solid than most now back at 1m. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Came good at the 12th time of asking when seeing off six rivals at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) last Sunday; not obviously well treated under a 6lb penalty. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A bit in and out in her six starts, but has shown ability as when fourth of 12 at Leicester (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in April; now 5lb lower and would have a good chance if rediscovering that form. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Not without ability as she showed when fourth of 12 at Leicester (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last time; each-way claims if building on that. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a promising start when third at Lingfield (7f, good) last August but she's been well held in three subsequent runs including on handicap/stable debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) two weeks ago; should be sharper with that run under her belt but she needs improvement back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Ran quite encouragingly at Leicester in his only turf attempt since handicapping; interesting back in this sphere, assuming he responds well to first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Promising runs last season at 7f/1m; well held in two handicaps (7f/6f) this campaign, though was quite short in the betting for both and Windsor last time didn't go to plan; wouldn't rule out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each 2yo run but his second of eight on Lingfield AW (1m) in December came in an ordinary novice; entitled to need the run on handicap/turf debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and he ran respectably in sixth, eased when beaten; may be capable of better over the new trip. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his first two juvenile runs but he showed clear promise when runner-up in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW) in December; drops back in trip after a break but he pulled hard last time and is open to more progress on this handicap debut; interesting contender with Rossa Ryan booked. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year and the same in three 7f handicaps this term for new yard; his two highest ratings came on AW but the latest did offer some hope for this 3f longer trip. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year; sent off the 4-1 favourite for his stable/handicap debut at Leicester three weeks ago (7f, good) but never featured; no better back at Leicester ten days ago but that was in a Class 5; down in the weights and his best RPR came in his only AW start so it's too soon to discount him completely. |
10/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Well held in three qualifying runs (6f) for Eve Johnson Houghton last season; 4-1 favourite on handicap/stable debut over C&D (good) 12 days ago but he was always in rear and finished 15th of 17; has good pedigree and is still early days but he needs to leave that latest form a long way behind. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden but wasn't beaten far when third over C&D in March; may have had an off-day when beaten 18l at Leicester (7f, good to firm) the following month; sports first-time blinkers and impossible to write off. |
8/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden but she returned after a break with a close third in a Lingfield handicap (7f, AW) last month; should benefit from that run and she's respected off only 1lb higher back on turf. |

0-7 but ran well when second in Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft; 9-2) two weeks ago; a repeat of that run would put him firmly in the mix. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 and disappointing in handicaps on both starts this season (7f/6f, good to firm/good); however, she was runner-up in a nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last September and it's possible the return to slow ground will trigger a revival; he's a player if so. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
