It's now 14 runs since his last success and he came in a well-held fourth over 2m here eight days ago; others appeal more. |

All three turf wins have been on good to firm (1m4f/1m6f), the most recent coming last May when trained by Brian Ellison; 0-7 since joining this stable and others are more persuasive. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good form without winning in the spring but well below par since returning from a four-month absence in handicaps at Haydock (11.5f) and Leicester (1m) last two runs; this course scorer needs to take a big step forward. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time winner over 1m2f at Newcastle last year; returned from wind surgery with a good second of five at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in July but well below form there last month; drops in grade needing to bounce back. |

9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick. |
100/30 |

1st 5 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner who scored over hurdles last month; down to a career-low mark and there's a good chance he can make his fitness tell. |
9/2 |

4th 6 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time Flat winner who came good over hurdles at the 12th attempt, with ready success here (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; carries 7lb penalty today but is due to go up by that amount anyway, and this drop back in trip won't be a problem. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham and four-time winner on the Flat for current stable; has been placed five times in this sphere; steps up in trip off his lowest mark over hurdles but others make greater appeal. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins at up to 1m4f but last three have been on AW and last turf win was 2022; finished placed twice on AW this season but he was last of five over C&D last month and was beaten 12l on that stable debut; opposable. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

8st 11lb |
Debutant by Nathaniel out of a dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to winners La Pantera (6f), Clara Zetkin (6f/7f) and Hija (2m/3m hurdle); others are more appealing. |
