10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Gained most recent win over 2m3f (straightforward task) but he's not short of speed and his handicap effort at the Cheltenham Festival (2m1f, soft; ran respectably) suggests this sharper scenario is likely to suit; the type who should still have more to offer; possibilities, provided he takes to first-time hood. |

5th 22 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Bumper winner who has shown considerable promise on all five hurdle starts, including wins in a maiden at Sandown (2m, good) and novice at Warwick (2m3f, soft); brings an unexposed profile to this handicap debut for a leading stable with an excellent record in this contest; high on the list. |
6/1 |

1st 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who has shown considerable promise on all four hurdle starts, winning easily at 1-8 at Sandown (2m, good) last month before Listed third at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft); he's the one to beat now back down in grade. |

11st 11lb |
Placed in both bumpers and he showed some promise in the first two of his three hurdle runs (2m4f/2m) during the winter; returns after a short break and he needs a close look in the market on handicap debut. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden has run his best two races on good ground; beaten 7.75l when fourth behind a couple of these in a qualifier for this race at Wetherby last time; likely capable of better and can't discount. |
22/1 |
|
4th 12 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-race maiden whose form dipped in Ayr handicap (2m4f) most recently; however, he's in good hands and may do better still; remains attractively treated on his first couple of efforts. |
16/1 |

6th 2 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Very unexposed 6yo who has finished close up in two small-field hurdles this year (2m6f/3m); not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but has plenty of scope for improvement. |

Beaten twice as far but probably achieved a little bit more when recording his second successive Newbury hurdle fifth last time (2m, good to soft); ought to find his level in handicaps after this. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 but ran his best race to date when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good) 25 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps up in trip but knocking on the door and should go close. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Showed ability on three of his four runs over hurdles but looks on a stiff mark, despite a 4lb drop, judged on his recent handicap debut; now tries headgear. |

7th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

No closer than 13l in three runs over hurdles but has shown enough to believe he can be a lot more competitive at this level. |

All eight races on good/good to soft ground; runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f) in December on second handicap start and faded into fourth here (3m2f) last time; possible player back down in trip, provided conditions suit. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Stable jockey rides their other one but this gelding has been ridden by Tristan Durrell in all his four races; beaten 10l and 18l in two novices and this looks stronger again. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but he's not shown a great deal and was pulled up on chase debut over C&D (good to soft) in January; had wind surgery since but he needs a transformation after a short break; tongue-tie added. |
10/1 |

7th 8 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Displayed minor promise when fourth on hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December; two less encouraging runs followed towards end of last season but improvement is possible in handicaps this term. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Minor encouragement in November's Hereford 2m4f hurdling debut fourth (backwards step since) and ought to have something to offer at this trip or further, albeit likelier in handicaps after this. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Bettered inauspicious handicap debut when respectable third of seven at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) this month; remains lightly raced but needs further improvement today. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
While there's been a hint of ability, his three runs over hurdles (2m4f-3m) yielded defeats by 37l, 33l and 59l; triple-figure odds on last two occasions and this handicap debut is far more realistic; needs market check. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally struggled at big prices in bumpers and it's been a similar story in four Flat runs; started his handicap career with a heavy defeat at Salisbury (1m6f) last month and needs a transformation on this switch to AW. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all five hurdle starts, including when pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces but hard to recommend. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Won a bumper for Olly Murphy; pulled up in his latest maiden on soft ground but was running well on good at his point of departures previously; has since left Alison Thorpe and makes stable/handicap debut after a lengthy break; market could be revealing. |
