10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful hurdler at about 2m and ran creditably (lost two places close home; finished fourth) in the Fred Winter at this meeting 12 months ago; bagged a valuable pot at Windsor (soft) in January but form dipped last time; goes into unknown territory over this longer distance. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
5yo who races prominently and has been progressive this season in some competitive handicaps, finishing second at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December and winning at Windsor (2m, soft) last month; up 5lb for last time but he did it nicely and could continue to improve; respected. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |
8/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lurks on a dangerous mark and his defeat on heavy ground a fortnight ago is not viewed harshly but he's largely been disappointing this season and has stamina to prove over this new trip. |

Sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including connections' smart hurdler Nemean Lion; dam Listed-placed 1m1f winner (93); bought for 38,000gns in May; good market support will need to be heeded. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good) just under a year ago but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has generally been underwhelming; not beaten far when tenth at Chepstow (2m3f, good) this month but makes only limited appeal here; headgear is switched again. |

Placed over C&D (good; behind The Magus) for Anthony Charlton on handicap hurdle debut in April but made just a satisfactory stable debut last month and has been well beaten on the Flat since; cheekpieces replace visor. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably in two autumn Flat starts for this yard after 100,000gns purchase; previous efforts over hurdles were modest but there was promise in his run at Down Royal (2m2f, good) earlier this month when staying on for fourth; entitled to improve over that return; contender. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |

Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably both starts for this yard last autumn after 100,000gns purchase; just modest form both hurdle runs in UK, but could do better now that he is more mature; check for market strength. |
