4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
10st 2lb |
Won a point shortly before making handicap chase debut at Thurles in February, where he showed up well for a long way; third in 3m1f hurdle at Plumpton last month and he'll like the ground. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's hard to fancy on his rules form and was soundly beaten over fences last time, but he won a point-to-point two starts ago and this 5yo Irish challenger is one to watch in the betting. |
7/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 55y |
11st 2lb |
Modest maiden hurdler beaten in both starts in point-to-points; beaten 97l on chase debut at Gowran latest when 250-1; hard to make a case for on form. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, most recently when Sean Bowen was at his strongest at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in June, and his subsequent effort off 5lb higher at Market Rasen (2m7f) was solid; remains on the same workable mark and should be in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has won two of his last three, the latest over 3m2f at Fontwell when Sean Bowen was at his strongest; probably has little up his sleeve after the 5lb rise. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Landed a weak handicap at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March; never threatened off 2lb higher at Southwell (3m, good) last time; Sean Bowen rides for the first time so may well have a say. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Winning pointer; 0-14 over hurdles but has placed form and interesting that he was sent off the 7-2 favourite when pretty much tailed off here 15 days ago (after three months off); hard to trust on the back of that effort, for all that better was presumably expected. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Winning pointer with placed form over hurdles but he's now 0-14 and his runs earlier this year were poor. |
8/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Winning pointer; 0-13 over hurdles; has placed form to his name and cheekpieces could be an interesting addition as he did some hanging at Chepstow last time. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four class 5 wins shared between hurdles and fences since joining James Owen, hacking up in a Newton Abbot chase latest (3m2f, good to soft); a fifth race in 25 days, a step back up in class and most significantly an additional 20lb hike all ask different questions this time. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Revitalised 8yo who started off for James Owen with two hurdle wins in refitted visor this month (2m5f/2m4f) and barely came off the bridle when scoring by 12l over fences at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on Tuesday; has further to go here but has good chance to extend winning spree under 7lb penalty. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Beaten 20l by a handicap blot when second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) and was then a disappointing favourite at Southwell; however, he is on his last winning mark and Sean Bowen takes over. |
7/2 |
|

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles but returned from break with fairly good second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month, albeit no threat to a handicap blot; will be fine over today's longer trip; high on the list. |
3/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Now back on same mark as for hard-fought success at Stratford (2m6f, good) last summer but returned from break with low-key C&D run in May and has been absent for another four months since. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Unplaced all eight hurdling starts for David Jeffreys and absent since pulled up over 3m in November; 3lb out of the weights for this stable debut and could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
33/1 |

6th 12 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Limited ability in six starts over hurdles and hard to think this will be his day from 3lb out of the weights; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Triple chase winner (all at Sedgefield); has had a couple of spins over hurdles and steps back up in trip on return to this sphere but stamina unproven. |
16/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Won three chases (all at Sedgefield) when trained by Chris Grant and bettered underwhelming stable debut when placed on hurdle return at Worcester (2m4f, good; cheekpieces refitted) last month; shortlisted. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has mixed record for this stable since last autumn but returned from break to cause 25-1 surprise over fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month and is now 2-6 for the yard; it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here but he has a lower mark over hurdles. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Good and bad in five runs for current yard, all of which were at Fontwell and Fakenham; soft ground was probably against him last time and he stays well. |
7/1 |
|

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten over hurdes here on last month's stable debut but kept on well for clear second behind Of Corse I Can over C&D (good) when back over fences three weeks ago and will be suited by the forecast slower ground today; respected. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won two modest 3m2f chases (one here) last autumn and has performed respectably on both appearances this season (2m5f/3m); has his limitations but is effectively 3lb lower than last time; probably won't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
5th 13 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won two modest 3m2f chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) and returned from break with encouraging run at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in May but others in this line-up look a bit stronger; 1lb wrong. |
14/1 |
