25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made all the running to win a 1m classified event here two weeks ago; not so good at Chelmsford two days later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces given a go; not ruled out. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Built on her return from a short break when making virtually all in a classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty for that success but she's been competitive off higher marks in the past. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

0-11 but has shown she can be competitive in low-grade handicaps when reaching the frame on her last three outings, including AW; each-way claims again. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

0-10 but has shown ability as when third of 14 at Windsor (11.4f, good; first-time blinkers) last month; will need to settle better than when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 12 days later, but each-way claims if she does. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up six times but still a maiden; ahead of Time After Time in his penultimate race (1m2f) and only 3l away last time at Bath over 1m, which is on the short side for one who stays 1m4f; unlikely to be far away. |

4th 7 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up six times but remains a maiden and he seems to need further than this, with 1m4f perhaps his best trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten 12l or more in all five runs including two handicaps (11.4f/1m4f); dropped another 3lb but he needs to show a lot more on this drop back to 1m. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Four-race maiden who has plenty to find on form; chance depends on whether he improves for physical tweak (gelded since last run). |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

Made debut in May and well beaten at triple-figure odds on his three starts (1m/1m2f); now goes handicapping off a modest mark and the betting will be interesting, but improvement is required. |

Far from consistent at up to 1m4f in Britain and it remains a very long time since his French win; has failed to back up his June classified effort; new trip needs to have major effect. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

19-race maiden who is usually seen over further; struggled on turf last time but he'll be happier back on AW; tongue tied for the first time but not a solid option. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

11st 13lb |
Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester novice (2m, good to soft) in June but very little has gone to plan since; struggled in two recent handicaps (2m1f/2m) and is not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip; too risky. |
