13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a maiden last spring and was beaten a neck on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs since and first-time cheekpieces are now added to the tongue-tie worn last time; has something to prove. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Good-ground 3m point winner who took a step forward on his third hurdle start when a 50-1 runner-up here (2m, good) in May; the step back up in trip could be a plus on this handicap debut and he's not ruled out. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Built upon previous promise when upped in trip from 2m and going close over 2m7f here (good) in May on second hurdle start; tackles 2m4f on handicap debut but this 6yo is unexposed and could have more to offer. |

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

Very productive on AW this year and also scored over hurdles in the spring; suffered a heavy defeat on most recent attempt in this sphere but remains well treated judged on Flat form. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May on third hurdle start and scored on the Flat at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) four weeks ago; in view of his Flat ability he has potential off this opening hurdle mark. |
100/30 |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

12st 0lb |
Overcame a slipping saddle to score on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 18-1, from 5lb lower) in May; kept busy on the Flat at Chester lately, producing creditable efforts (fourth and runner-up); still low mileage as a hurdler, with the potential to rate higher. |

2nd 2 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair on the Flat on her going days; has not achieved a great deal in three hurdle runs for new yard this year but she now switches to a handicap and is a possible improver with new headgear tried; one to keep an eye on. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Fair on the Flat on her going days but was pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in February and probably didn't achieve much when sixth at Worcester (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago. |

Three-time Flat winner who improved for the step up to 2m4f when second at Worcester in May on latest start and now makes handicap debut on ground she handles; respected. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Quite useful on the Flat for former yard, winning three times at up to 1m6f; given that ability she's been quite disappointing in her two races over hurdles (at 2-1 and 6-1). |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First Flat start since 2024 when he came home strongly to win slowly run 1m6f handicap at Sandown (good; 50-1) on his stable debut in June; the searchlights had to be switched on at Goodwood (soft) three weeks ago, and stamina for this far remains unproven, but he could bounce back on the forecast better ground. |
10/1 |

9th 4 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |

12st 0lb |
Made all here in January and now 2-4 over fences after repeating the dose when odds-on in a weak three-runner race at Southwell (again on soft); 6lb higher for this but it's another modest contest and this drier ground should be fine. |

Faller on chase debut but made all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) next time then ran creditably at Sedgefield; may still have further progress in her at an ordinary level; respected. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |

Running a big race when falling three out on chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, heavy) in December and confirmed that promise when making all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) nine days ago; also effective on good to soft ground; a 7lb penalty may not stop this unexposed mare; wears first-time tongue-tie. |

8st 12lb |
Won a novice hurdle in July 2025 and a 1m2f Flat novice at Bath (good to soft) that September; absent since a hurdle race last October; this new trip is highly plausible for today's handicap debut and he is one to note despite a layoff of nearly one year. |

Second in a bumper and won his third hurdle start a month ago at Uttoxeter (2m novice, good); may lack the gears for this. |
