31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |

2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |

3rd 2 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his last two starts for Ralph Beckett and completed the hat-trick here over 2m in November when visored for the first time on his debut for this stable; ran another good race when runner-up at Kempton (2m) next time but he was below his best 97 days ago; could bounce back on his first start since but this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat performer who was bought for 32,000gns; at least completed when hooded here last month but he was well beaten; has raced only on soft/heavy as a jumper and these conditions should suit him better. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Returns to the Flat after two heavy defeats over hurdles; ran below market expectations on last attempt under this code but is competitively treated on best AW/turf form. |
10/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |

Well backed when winning here on the AW over 1m4f in December but never featured when beating only one rival home 19 days ago; 0-9 on turf and others are preferred. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Well backed when winning over C&D in December off a 2lb lower mark (ridden by Myla Coppins); the odd solid effort since and he can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

9th 3 (13) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not the most consistent, but has won six times on the AW including five over 1m4f/1m5f at Lingfield; has run well here, but stall 13 isn't ideal even over this trip. |

10st 7lb |
Has placed form over 2m/2m1f on the level; favourite when runner-up in Limerick maiden hurdle in March; 2m5f was expected to suit last time, but it didn't; gets plenty of weight from her main rivals. |
6/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 11lb |
Fair Flat maiden in Britain for James Horton; shaped okay on all three maiden hurdle runs over 2m, notably latest when (favourite) chasing home a ready winner here last month (soft); tries a longer trip here. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Second runner for yard; Flat maiden has run respectably in two maiden hurdles recently and looks capable of being a big player here. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |
12/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stretches back to May 2023 (hurdles); ended 2025 with some modest efforts for James Owen and fared little better when fifth of seven on his stable debut 11 weeks ago (2m, Polytrack); enough to prove. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Five wins (Flat and hurdles) when trained in Ireland; mixed bag for James Owen when last seen; not on a bad mark if a change of scenery piques his interest. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden who made no impression over 1m6f most recently; chance of winning depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear and going up further in distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown considerable promise; no threat on either start this season, most recently his handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f) on final run for Raphael Freire; remains in same ownership; needs something extra now up in trip (not bred for it) but not written off. |
