11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a patchy profile but he hasn't been with current yard for long and he won at Bath (1m6f, good) last month; only sixth of seven here (2m) last time but he ran well for a long way and was beaten less than 4l; still looks on a workable mark and he could make a bold bid back in trip. |

6th 5 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Charlie Johnston for whom he finished third in this last year (2lb higher); joined Rod Millman for 6,000gns; tailed off on yard debut but always in the van when battling on best at Bath (1m6f, good); only 2lb higher but he's up into a Class 4 now. |

1st 4 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins when trained by Charlie Johnston; sold to join current yard for 6,000gns last October; had wind surgery prior to his stable debut when he was tailed off at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; stepping back up in trip will be more suitable but difficult to fancy at present. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four times on the AW but is 0-23 on turf, although has been placed on 12 occasions; decent third at Bath last time (1m6f, good); each-way chance; cheekpieces now tried. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims. |
9/4 |
|
4th 13 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won since recording a three-timer in 2024; last of six on return to action at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month when favourite; has dropped to a career-low mark and first-time visor goes on; may be worth another chance. |
13/2 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His three wins were all on the Flat in 2024, including here on heavy ground over 1m2f; failed to build on his comeback run when well beaten over hurdles at Kempton 52 days ago and the hood returns on this switch back to the Flat; makes some appeal from a good mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Race-fit off the Flat when a battling winner over a little shorter at Worcester a month ago (visor back on) and looks a good thing to give his running once more off 4lb higher; respected. |
5/4 |
|
1st 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Easy winner over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) last November and he recorded his fourth Flat win when scoring at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) in April; wasn't beaten far back there 12 days ago and he still has potential for further progress in this sphere; interesting contender back over hurdles. |
5/2 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over hurdles last November and recorded his first win on the Flat in Britain, at this track (2m1f, good to firm) in April off 4lb lower; good second at Ripon subsequently but finished last of six back there (2m, good) after slipping on the bend on the first circuit last month; swaps a visor for blinkers and may be worth forgiving latest run. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came on AW at Wolverhampton last September when trained by Jamie Osborne; flattered by his finishing position when fourth of ten at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last month and finished last of six subsequently at Yarmouth (1m6f, good); cheekpieces are introduced for the first time and needs more. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to win a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton for Jamie Osborne last September; unplaced in two hurdle runs for this yard but he didn't run badly returned to the Flat at Goodwood 19 days ago (1m6f, good); down in class today and should have a big run in him. |
9/2 |
|
4th 8 (10) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
1m6f AW winner for Jamie Osborne but returns to this scene after two heavy defeats over hurdles, the latest after a wind operation; has a bit to prove off this mark even if he's back on song. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten less than 10l in the German Derby last year; nowhere near that form for Marco Botti or Jamie Osborne but getting back on slower ground could help. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-German, beaten less than 10l in the German Derby last year; nowhere near that form in two starts for Marco Botti and similar story on his three outings for this yard; gelded before his front-running fourth of ten at Nottingham (1m2f) on Wednesday on handicap debut. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |
