28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won twice in the space of three starts last year but has soon returned to the doldrums; can't be supported with any confidence. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Disappointing on last two starts but he won twice in the second half of last year (2m, good to soft/good) and the fact his stable is enjoying a very productive month suggests he is well worth a second look. |

0-17 under rules and was brought down early on at Taunton (2m, good) last month; has been placed a couple of times but is hard to fancy. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Still a maiden and she went in snatches when a fair sixth of 14 in 2m Worcester handicap in October; returns from a break in a refitted hood. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished well for narrow win in 1m4f classified here last month, opening her account on 15th start under all codes; soundly beaten in Wolverhampton handicap over that trip since but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m on the Flat. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went into her last race a 14-race maiden but she'd shown bits and bobs across both codes and got off the mark, staying on strongly to land Lingfield classified (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; unexposed in this sphere despite her age and could be a leftfield improver; chance. |

Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |

2nd 1 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Ready winner back from a break at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) eight days ago; his 4lb rise is offset by Mason Paetel's claim; likely to follow up. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-8 over hurdles and no improvement in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when fifth of ten finishers over C&D (good to soft) last month; needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 10 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-11 over hurdles; third in handicaps at Windsor in January (2m, good) and Sedgefield in February (2m1f, good to soft); can be forgiven lesser effort on testing ground last time; each-way chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
13l ahead of Cumhacht when third in a Windsor novice handicap which has worked out well (2m, good); Sedgefield third since again gave the impression he needs more of a test, and although slightly back down in trip here he's granted a galloping 2m and slow ground for the first time; chance. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

0-9 but he returned from a break to finish third at Windsor (2m, good) on New Years' Day and that form has worked out extremely well; has shown promise on good to soft ground; could play a leading role. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |
5/1 |
|
7th 5 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |
7/2 |
|
5 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again. |
8/1 |

1st 4 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Dual hurdle winner including over C&D (good); last success was off a similar mark at Plumpton in February but she's been disappointing in both runs since; hurdle record is now 2-14 and has something to prove after another break. |

Quirky sort but she got off the mark in this sphere in 1m7f handicap at Wincanton 43 days ago, despite being reluctant at the start; up 4lb but she still merits serious consideration. |
7/4 |

1st 6 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Went mighty close at Leicester (soft) in November despite pulling hard and her trainer blamed three fairly quick runs when she disappointed at Uttoxeter (also 2m, heavy) the following month; freshened up since and she can't be ruled out. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Low-grade Flat winner; yet to be placed after five hurdling starts but kept on from the rear for very respectable fifth of 14 over C&D (good-first-time tongue-tie) this month; considered each-way. |

Dual C&D winner (soft/good) but not since December 2022, and is very inconsistent nowadays; tailed off at Stratford on latest outing in early July; 1lb wrong today; others have more pressing claims. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

4th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran who returned from 640-day absence with a down-the-field run in February and has been absent for another seven months since; very well handicapped on old form and will be favoured by the forecast rain but is tricky to weigh up at present. |
