25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who goes well on slow ground; he returned to fences at Hereford two weeks ago and looked booked for second when falling late on; has a chance off 1lb lower. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Mud lover who suffered big defeats both starts over fences for Jonjo O'Neill; couldn't land a gamble on his fourth outing for this yard when second of eight over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; suitability for chasing and this trip unproven but weighted to be competitive. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Struck in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f, soft) in October and returned to winning ways at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in January; only seventh back there since and now swaps the cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; below par on his previous outing around 3m but wasn't obviously beaten for stamina. |

7th 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Perth (2m4f, soft) in October and returned to winning ways over this C&D (soft) last month; had 6l to spare from Eloi Du Puy last time and holds strong claims up 7lb. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Came good in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f, soft; front pair clear) in October, but he's been well held in both subsequent runs (2m3f/2m7f); still lightly raced but has bit to prove again and he needs to rediscover his spark. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Finished a close third on handicap debut over 2m3f here in March but off colour since then with and without a tongue-tie; goes up in trip and there are stayers in the family. |
10/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Absent since running as though something was amiss in April but was creditable third on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and may still have potential. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Third in two Ludlow novice hurdles in February (2m, good to soft) before finishing a creditable third at Hereford on handicap debut on first run at this trip (good; form not worked out); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |

Not beaten far when fifth of 15 on handicap debut at Roscommon (2m, good) in July but made a low-key stable debut last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has run well on good/good to soft but reportedly benefited from switch to heavy ground when bouncing back to form to win by 7l at Ffos Las last month; subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |
7/2 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back to within 1lb of the mark for December 2024's Hereford win (2m, good to soft), and only one of just three starts since has been over this short a trip; possibilities if sharp enough after five months out. |
16/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Ended 2024 with narrow win at Hereford (2m, good to soft) and returned from break with two fairly good runs at Stratford (2m2f/2m) this summer; needs to find extra here but is unexposed over the trip. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Unplaced all eight hurdling starts in Ireland and absent since beaten out of sight on heavy ground in February; had wind surgery during the summer but is probably best watched on this stable debut. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Absent since struggling to cope with 3m on heavy ground in January but made all under Elliott England at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December and was placed on good ground in the autumn; no surprise if she features. |
6/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dictated the pace and stuck on well in five-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December, opening her account at the 15th attempt; creditable third of ten here (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago when she made Sean Bowen work hard and Pipas Lescribaa was second, but there's a 3lb swing in the weights today and this new trip now looks well worth a go; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
No wins in 12 but shouldn't be long in putting that right after keeping the favourite honest last time at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft); Elliott England rides again off 2lb higher and solid chance. |

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. |
100/30 |

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. |

10st 2lb |
0-16 over hurdles; struggled on this month's chasing debut and refused to race at Market Rasen a few days later (race won by Grain Trade); hooded for first time here; 10lb wrong; cannot be recommended. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

17-race maiden who has lost his way badly and has to compete from 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest effort readily ignored (saddle slipped) but showed nothing on two previous starts for current connections; theoretical encouragement for this switch to fences as a nephew of Texas Jack and Drumconvis. |
