7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on heavy; useful for Harry Fry but became inconsistent and has never won a handicap; bought for £35,000 last May and had a remote finish at Worcester in July on his only start since; has career-low mark but plenty to prove, including stamina on this fourth attempt at about 3m. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Smart for Harry Fry but became inconsistent; wasn't disgraced in Coral Cup at Cheltenham Festival (2m5f, good to soft) on latest outing in March and sights are lowered on stable debut having changed hands for £35,000. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't take to fences when tailed off on his penultimate run but he then made all for a 5l defeat of Ukantango over C&D to make it 3-5 over hurdles; a 5lb rise is fair enough with the promise of more to come. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo with 2-4 strike-rate in maiden/novice hurdles last season; tailed off in three-runner race when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but now quickly reverts to hurdling; should still have potential. |
4/1 |

22nd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won two minor hurdles on either side of his remote fifth in the Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow in October, last time making all at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) after wind surgery; likely that he's held in some regard and brings plenty of potential to chasing. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Ben Brookhouse; made a promising start for her new yard after eight months off when third of eight over 2m4f at Aintree eight days ago; she should strip sharper here and rates a player off the same mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Runner-up to Masked Dance in this race two years ago and her final two runs of last year were right up there with her best; could easily be a factor if in the same form for new stable after a break. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 |
11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Below best in two Flat runs this year but returned to hurdling with close second at Worcester (2m4f, good); might have won that day with greater fluency and only 2lb higher; wouldn't want the ground to slow up. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but inconsistency has crept in, with his solid third in new cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) flanked by lesser efforts; others safer. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
4-20 over hurdles, with all the wins on good ground; close third in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m7f, good; several flights omitted) last month and still unexposed over staying trips but forecast rain dents his appeal. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Eight-time hurdle winner, the last two in claimers in the spring; his three chase starts haven't been devoid of promise but he was only sixth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time and needs something extra. |
33/1 |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Latest two wins were in claiming hurdles for another yard; last of four over fences on yard debut and then fifth of seven over hurdles; opposable. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Latest two wins were in claiming hurdles for Archie Watson; last of four over fences on recent stable debut but didn't run at all badly; this is a warm handicap, however. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it. |

4th 3 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner and has three wins over hurdles; got off the mark on the return to fences when a convincing winner at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but looks sure to give another bold account. |

11st 10lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with two good efforts in Class 2 events this summer, the latter on slower-than-ideal ground over C&D last month, and looks the one to beat in this easier race. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with good third (just behind My Chiquita) at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is still on a workable mark (even from 1lb out of the weights) but the forecast rain is a worry. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Not without hope back on good ground as they were strong handicaps on too soft a surface when below par the last twice. |
