14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |

2nd 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; fairly useful at his best (1m-1m3f) but his form for Mike Smith since last summer has been disappointing, and the soft ground is a big worry on this hurdle debut; cheekpieces removed. |

Two wins in Britain were on AW; ground should suit but might prefer a longer trip; hard-earned Newcastle win last September was over an extended 1m4f. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time turf winner, including when just fending off OJ Lifestyle at Epsom (extended 1m, good; first-time visor) in July; following wind surgery he stuck at it from the rear when fifth over 1m2f (AW) last month and has run well over this trip previously; mark fine and he needs considering. |
3/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f winner in 2025 who arrives in decent nick, fourth over hurdles at Plumpton 42 days ago; has since had breathing surgery and visor goes back on here. |
12/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat at his best, and displayed promise in three maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn; no surprise if a bit more of his Flat ability transfers to this code on today's handicap debut. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |

9st 10lb |
Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f. |

Back to form with a runaway win over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in November but he shot up the weights after that and his form has nosedived since. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins when trained by Charlie Johnston; sold to join current yard for 6,000gns last October; had wind surgery prior to his stable debut when he was tailed off at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; stepping back up in trip will be more suitable but difficult to fancy at present. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won two 1m6f turf handicaps last June but inconsistent afterwards and unraced since a flop in October; left Charlie Johnston for 6,000gns 16 days later and had wind surgery in March; well handicapped (2lb above last winning mark) if he returns revived for new stable. |
