2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
0-11 since winning on hurdle debut in October 2022 but he ran pretty well when third at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month following wind surgery; he's in with an each-way shout if backing up that latest performance. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's won just one of his 18 starts and could do with settling better; however, he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day and has had wind surgery since; also effective on soft ground; might not be far away. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden on the Flat; placed in three handicap hurdles last season for Alan King so has a race in him off this mark and new trainer (after £14,000 sale) has booked Sam Twiston-Davies; could be interesting. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. |

5th 1 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Her losing sequence goes back 15 races to January 2024 but she's been running consistently well this season; versatile ground-wise and can be thereabouts once more. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
3-18 over hurdles; continues to run consistently well and has reached the frame on all three starts this season, but she probably needs to find that little bit more to add to her score. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February and followed up at Kempton (2m2f, good); he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race, but did it very nicely and this 6yo novice is now 3-6 over fences; could still have more to offer and he's respected. |

1st 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October; creditable efforts in defeats in strong novice handicaps on next three starts before resuming winning ways in a small field at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; 7lb higher in a more competitive race now but further progress can't be ruled out with this yard. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October and has run well in defeat on his three starts since, most recently at Cheltenham when not seeing out the stiff, extended 2m4f on soft ground; solid claims now back down in trip. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Multiple winner but a 10yo now and the handicapper knows the score with him; no match for the winner last time at Fakenham (2m4f, good) where he kept jumping to the right; wouldn't want to repeat that here. |

Front-runner who enjoyed a resurgence last year, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; absent since November, though, and will need to resume in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In excellent form over the last few months, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; latest success came from the front over C&D (good; 9-2) 17 days ago; nudged up another 2lb and this is a warmer race but she's fit and hard to discount. |
