Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

11st 12lb |
0-19 over hurdles but gave it a good shot from the front when clear second to Littletown Lad over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago and is still on a workable mark after subsequent 2lb nudge. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on penultimate start, and reportedly "failed to stay" when flopping at Doncaster (1m6f) a fortnight ago; yet to win over jumps (0-18) and, while this task isn't impossible, others make more appeal. |

Absent since ending 2024 with a disappointing run but made the frame in her first two handicaps, more notably when second at Lingfield (2m, good) in November; contender if back on song after her break. |

£26,000 3yo; second foal; dam multiple AQPS Flat/hurdle/chase winner; stable is 0-26 in bumpers during the last five seasons, so it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent hurdler who's been off for five months since a poor effort here in the winter; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and it's tough to find any positives. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Dual Dundalk winner when based in Ireland; 0-8 over hurdles, once finishing runner-up in a 2m handicap off 3lb higher; only midfield on the Flat last time; others are more convincing. |

Both wins were AW Flat early in 2024 over 1m4f in Ireland; downhill in Britain that spring, with pieces of modest hurdles form since; others are more enticing. |

Well beaten all three starts, most recently when 200-1 for Huntingdon maiden (2m, good; first run after wind surgery) last month; makes handicap debut from a lowly mark but needs to take a big step forward. |

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. |
10/1 |

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

Fair on the Flat for Ed Walker last year; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn (failed to complete consecutive races) but his run at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |

0-8 on Flat, with plenty of fair form (best effort at 1m2f); however, she refused at the third flight on stable/hurdle debut in November and was pulled up before two out when 66-1 at Newbury one month later. |

9st 3lb |
Won 1m4f Lingfield classified for Pat Phelan in first-time blinkers in August and ran well from the front when third in Brighton handicap (1m4f, good to firm) a week ago; holds each-way claims again. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps. |
