11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m juvenile races at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft) in recent months; stable jockey Paul O'Brien partnered him at Huntingdon but is on Filibustering this time. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a good-ground double at Ludlow (2m novice/2m5f handicap) in the autumn; disappointed on next two starts but took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) 24 days ago; below par on his previous attempt at 3m but he's back to only 1lb above his winning mark and today's ground conditions should suit so there are reasons to be hopeful. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a good-ground double at Ludlow (2m/2m5f) in the autumn and softer going has perhaps contributed to his dip in form since; may resume his progress, provided the surface is ideal. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Largely consistent over hurdles; has taken his form to a new level since upped to about 2m4f, winning at Wincanton (soft) then going close at Hereford (heavy); may have more to offer at this distance; looks a solid one for the shortlist. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual heavy-ground winner on the Flat in France; mostly encouraging in first six starts for this yard and made the breakthrough over hurdles when up in trip to land 12-runner Wincanton handicap (2m4f, soft) last month; 7lb rise asks a question but he looked good that day and these conditions will suit; big player. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two Flat wins in France; 0-6 over hurdles; third to the useful French Emperor in a good-ground handicap at Worcester in October but was beaten further by the same horse on soft at Cheltenham (handles those conditions); consistent prior to that and he's twice run well under the returning Harry Cobden. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
On a losing run but he comes here in good nick, coming out on top of the pace-setters when fifth of ten in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap 39 days ago; he holds solid claims off a 2lb lower mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Safely held against own age-group on both outings last season and a heavy defeat when back in action last month, but this very unexposed 4yo represents a top stable and is open to improvement in handicaps. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Hard to get excited about his first two runs, beaten nearly a distance on soft and good ground (40-1 the last time); looks one for handicaps. |

Six-race maiden on Flat and a beaten long way in three starts over hurdles; up in trip for his handicap debut after nine months off and major improvement is needed. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

5yo who made the frame a few times last season and his mark continues to fall, but he hasn't got competitive this term and remains a maiden. |
