20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins last year, the latest over C&D in October and he's now back to that mark for the first time since; bits of encouragement since give him a place in calculations. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fast-finishing fourth over 1m2f at Lingfield in January but he hasn't found the same form in two subsequent outings there; Marquand up but others bring more compelling claims. |

Fast-finishing fourth over C&D 19 days ago but he wasn't in the same form behind Tommy's Promise here one week later; Rossa Ryan booked and he's capable of a big run at this level. |

Four Flat wins this season at up to 11.5f and likes fast ground; showed little over hurdles last season but this is his first handicap. |

9st 8lb |
Four wins on good to firm/firm this season, the last two at Bath (1m3.5f) and Salisbury (1m2f) in August; hasn't done as well on easier ground on last two starts; wouldn't rule out. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bath/fast ground specialist who wasn't too far away from landing a fifth win at that track when runner-up (1m2f) last Wednesday on his return from a break; effective elsewhere too and should go well. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time C&D winner who returns here off a workable mark; on the downside, he's been absent for four months and doesn't have a convincing record when fresh. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |

2 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Runner-up in a Southwell novice in January when with James Ferguson; rather disappointing on turf since; on a good mark back on the AW; could run well. |
8/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden but with less to prove than some of these after finishing well for second over this far in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (good to soft; unraced on slower); should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
6 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Promising runner-up on AW (1m) in January but she hasn't looked to be crying out for a step up in trip in the meantime and others have less to prove stamina-wise. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Ran okay after a break on the AW and he loves it here, especially when the mud is flying; the recent rain has helped his cause no end. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (11) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Prolific at Ffos Las in the mud but just 1-40 away from that track; easy enough to look elsewhere now returning from an absence and from a wide stall. |
33/1 |
|
5 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance. |
