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. |

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. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Two hurdle wins late last year and he's held his form pretty well in that discipline, last seen six weeks ago; his last Flat race was in 2024 for his former yard and peak form that year (1m6f win) suggests this is a realistic mark. |

Won against his own age-group here (2m, soft; also suited by good) in December and has finished close up on all three outings since (1m7f-2m); must be considered on this first attempt at 2m4f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile 5yo whose latest win was a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last November (2m5f, soft); hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year (2m-2m4f) although not beaten far in the Shergar Cup last time; not sure drop in trip will suit. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 1m4f performer and pretty good on his day over hurdles; however, hasn't found his best form this season at 2m/2m4f and has yet to convince as a stayer in this discipline; tried a visor last time at Royal Ascot and cheekpieces return. |
16/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1m4f winner from the front off this mark at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; has a bit to prove over 2m on Flat, including having been always behind on both starts this year; now tries a visor (often wears cheekpieces) and maybe there will be a change of tactics. |

11st 12lb |
Finished well when scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in May and he's held his form in four runs since including when runner-up at Fontwell (2m1f, good) two weeks ago; should give it another good shot and he's respected for in-form yard. |

Finished well when scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in May and he's held his form in three runs since including a close call at Market Rasen in July; should go well again and he's respected. |

Bagged a second C&D success in May and has posted good efforts when runner-up over C&D and at Market Rasen (2m) since; up 2lb but he enters calculations once more. |

Ended a long losing run at Lingfield (1m2f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there the following month; considered. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He had been badly out of sorts prior to popping up at 80-1 in a C&D handicap four weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb but it remains to be seen if he can back that effort up. |

1st 9 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

His mark continues to tumble but he isn't giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage, failing to beat a rival on all three AW starts this winter. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-runner; far more exposed than some of these but won two (Fakenham and Bangor) of her last four starts and there's no question over her recent wellbeing; another bold show is likely despite career-high mark. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m) in May and has continued in good form, scuppered by a late blunder when third of four in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen in July; that form has been franked so this front-runner can go well again off the same mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Small fields suit this free-going mare, as do sharp, flat tracks; perhaps on a fairly tough mark after coming up short last time but shouldn't be far away. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2m maiden hurdle winner last year but she struggled badly last season and was recently pulled up in cheekpieces; too much to prove at present. |
14/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle here (good) last April but both handicap runs over that trip this year have been very disappointing; getting back on good ground ought to aid her cause, but she failed to convince stamina-wise when tried over 2m5f last spring and has even further to go today; cheekpieces added. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |

C&D maiden winner last April (good) but campaign ended abruptly after needing treatment for post-race ataxia next time; soft ground and absence offer some excuses for tame return, but still a bit to take on trust. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Produced a couple of placed efforts over C&D during the summer; below par recently when back from a two-month break and, although entitled to build on that, he's now 0-17 over hurdles and others make more appeal. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gave a good account when third of 12 over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) in July but is 0-16 over hurdles now and others in this line-up have more potential. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

AW winner who is 0-15 over hurdles; latest third over C&D was one of his better efforts but he looks worth taking on from 3lb out of the weights. |

Free-going sort who gained a first success in this sphere over C&D in September but she ended the season below par; freshened up since and no surprise to see her get back on track after a layoff. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers. |
