12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Mixed results (U15) since wearing cheekpieces and switched to chasing; disappointing favourite on good ground last time; rebound needed in the retained headgear. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who made it second time lucky over fences when beating seven rivals in a Bangor handicap (2m2f, soft) last month; up 5lb but he turned things around with that comfortable success and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |

Two wins over hurdles; showed nothing in that discipline on his return from a break and unseated mid-race on chase debut three weeks ago; too risky. |

Four-time hurdle winner on slow ground, including over C&D (raced prominently in first-time visor) in April; below par at Ffos Las (2m, good) latest, after a 5lb rise; each-way claims if he can bounce back. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Ultimately disappointing over hurdles (0-12) but she has some competitive form off this sort of mark and a pointing background bodes well for this switch to fences. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Three seconds among her minor honours but below form on last three outings, with tongue tied on last two; a leading contender if judged on her Southwell second (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in December. |

12st 0lb |
Three Flat wins early in 2023 and another at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) that November on second start over hurdles; back from a year off with creditable third on handicap hurdle debut at Hereford in the autumn but she's not gone on from that and was only third of four at Market Rasen last month; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-7 over hurdles and others are more convincing; cheekpieces added. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. |
5/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Sole win from 32 starts came over hurdles at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) in October but he's been held in three starts since and now returns to the Flat for the first time since June 2024. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Broke his duck over hurdles at the 15th attempt over C&D (good to firm) last October (held up); well below that level next time, when dropped back in trip (heavy) and beaten almost 9l at Wincanton by Square Du Roule latest (3m, good); more needed but not written off. |

Glimpses of promise in a bumper and maiden hurdles; came in for some support on her handicap and seasonal debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month, when doing much of the work before weakening to be an 18l third; tongue-tie now goes on and no surprise if she finds an improved finishing effort. |
