28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around this trip last year (Chepstow maiden and Sedgefield novice); comes into this having won a Carlisle handicap on the Flat three weeks ago (1m1f, soft); quite interesting. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a record of 3-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; creditable third at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut most recently; major player off same mark, assuming he copes with this drop back in trip (stiff track and forecast slow ground are helpful in that respect). |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since French Flat win in 2022; close up in three of his four races for Venetia Williams and back from a long break when narrowly denied at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on latest, albeit by a 16-1 chance who hadn't shown much previously; thereabouts. |
100/30 |

2nd 4 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) in the autumn and creditable fourth at Aintree (3m, soft) in December when his jumping lacked fluency and he didn't see the trip out that well; disputed favouritism at Newbury (2m4f) last month but clipped heels and slipped up before halfway; cheekpieces go on and he needs to resume improvement, with Sean Bowen (on board for those wins) back. |
6/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) and, although only fourth on soft off this higher mark at Aintree, he didn't run badly given his jumping lacked fluency; still lightly raced and by no means ruled out. |
5/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Improved upon his debut third at Chepstow (2m, good) in April to win a maiden hurdle over this C&D (good) last month; he begins handicap life on a fair mark and this very lightly raced 5yo could have more to offer. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Modest run last time but wasn't far away in his two previous runs after a wind operation and there are races in him off this mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His three qualifying starts were over a trip that looked short of ideal; couldn't take a significant step forward when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter in June (good); returns from a break and wind surgery needing improvement to defy this mark. |

Off the mark on second run over fences at Leicester in December (2m6f, good; cheekpieces on for second time); up 5lb; takes another step up in trip, but a possible. |

Some promise when fourth of 12 on his bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in December, but has shown little in another bumper and two starts over hurdles since; may be one for handicaps is due course. |

Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles, with jumping an issue; going right handed may help (jumped that way back in a maiden last time) but unconvincing overall; first run beyond 2m5f. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles so far and she had jumping issues on handicap debut at Fontwell (unseated at fourth) last week; still early days but has a lot to find back in a maiden and can only be watched; cheekpieces added. |

Has got better with each of his four runs, finishing a 22l fifth in a Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) four weeks ago, and this handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity; however, improvement is still needed. |
