16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
A fairly useful winning chaser for Dan Skelton; in excellent form for his current yard too, finally getting off the mark over hurdles in 2m3f novice at Chepstow 22 days ago; the clear form pick. |
5/4 |

1st 2 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Chase winner for previous yard; 0-13 over hurdles but is in form for new stable, having finished second in handicaps on last two outings, latest over C&D (good to soft) behind easy winner; fighting chance at the weights. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
His only win came over fences when trained by Dan Skelton; both runs for this yard have been over hurdles, tailed off in the first but then a strong-finishing second at Hereford (2m3f, good); if as good again then he won't be far away. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running 1m Kempton wins in 2024; belatedly returned to form when narrowly denied there (7f) in December but didn't come close to backing that up over 1m last week; blinkers are refitted now. |
11/1 |

11th 1 (9) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running C&D wins in 2024; little to enthuse over last year until a prominent market position correctly predicted a return to form when beaten a head over 7f here last month; up 3lb but still below his winning marks and looks a leading contender despite possible pace pressure. |

Won over 1m on the AW last October but appears to have badly lost his way; opposable. |

Completed a middle-distance hat-trick on the Flat in October, reaching a fairly useful standard; form dipped last time and doesn't have a particularly easy task switched to this code. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Didn't feature in the Imperial Cup (Go Dante two places ahead of him) but back on track with his sights lowered when shading a tight finish in 2m Ludlow handicap (good) 25 days ago, taking his hurdles record to 4-12; has won over this trip; should remain very competitive off 6lb higher. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time novice winner on good to soft who has performed admirably in Graded and handicap company; didn't run much of a race in the Imperial Cup but he was single-figure odds and this wouldn't be as demanding as that Sandown race; tongue-tie removed; respected. |
7/2 |
|
9th 13 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Three novice hurdle wins last year (2m-2m4f, good to soft) and second of 15 at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November when back in a handicap; also runner-up at Taunton last month (2m, heavy; would have been closer granted a clear run) when back from a three-month break (and wind op); each-way player. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Already placed three times over fences, third of ten at Kempton (3m, good to soft) when last seen in February; faces a stiffer assignment here from 6lb out of the weights but his experience should stand him in good stead and he's not ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up on chasing debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in September and ended last year with two good efforts over 2m4f at Leicester (good/good to soft); current mark is workable if this new trip suits but confidence in him would be higher on good ground. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three Flat wins at up to 1m2f; in the frame twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat; drops into a 0-80 and should stay 1m4f; not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break with pleasing runs under both codes before struggling in the Sussex Champion Hurdle; this is easier than that assignment. |
5/1 |

8th 12 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break to finish fourth behind Hamlet's Night on the AW and then ran third of six in a Fakenham handicap hurdle; this race is much tougher than that one. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in March; those tactics could only bring an 11l-second at Taunton (about 2m, good to firm) nine days later but he impressed with some good leaps on the way round and the winner is promising; now makes handicap debut and this track should suit. |

Inferior to Vaguely Royal on the Flat but has made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good); looks to have more on his plate under a penalty but still respected. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Point/hurdles winner who hasn't strictly improved in two chase attempts but may build on latest effort (3m) as he remains unexposed at this distance; visor replaces the cheekpieces worn of late; in the mix. |
5/2 |
|
4th 10 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
2m4f hurdle winner; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on chasing debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft; jumped right on occasions) and moves up from Class 5 today; completely unexposed beyond about 2m4f under rules and this return to a right-handed track is an obvious move but others have more pressing claims. |
9/1 |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Underwhelming under rules until handicap debut at Huntingdon (upped from 2m to 2m5f, good) two weeks ago in which he started favourite in seven-runner race and won in clearcut style under 5lb claimer from I'm Your Buckaroo; raised 5lb but could have more to offer. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has made a positive start for her current yard, scoring at Market Rasen (2m4f) in November and backing it up with a good second of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f) in February; well in the mix after a break with few miles on the clock. |
9/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Off the mark for the season in a 2m4f mares' handicap at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); this looks harder, but has an each-way chance. |
11/2 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Looked a mare of considerable promise when making successful British debut in maiden at Kempton (2m, good) on Boxing Day, but failed to build on that and has since left Nicky Henderson; well-bred and may still be unexposed; worth monitoring in the market on first start for new stable. |
