28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Just did enough to win 2m Ludlow maiden in the autumn and was a very respectable third of six in novice event over that C&D (again on good) last month; moves up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
The last four of his six runs have been at Ludlow and he won a bumper in October and a maiden hurdle (2m, good) the following month; fell three out on his return from a break three weeks ago but he was travelling well enough in a prominent position at the time; this looks a tougher assignment but he still has potential and is respected for in-form yard. |

Both wins on this course, a bumper on good to firm and a good-ground maiden in November; clear form claims even with a penalty and his yard won this last year. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Safely held after racing too freely on handicap debut in March but displayed improvement to win at Taunton (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and could easily have more to offer; good chance. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A fair maiden hurdler but she went too freely on her first go in handicaps when only sixth of eight at Hereford (2m) last month; tongue tie is added. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair form shown when placed in bumpers and on her hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m) in December; this keen-going sort has failed to go on in two subsequent starts though and was also tailed off on her Flat debut at Southwell 15 day ago; switch to low-grade handicap could revive her fortunes. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won a novice at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December; finished lame when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso (2m7f, heavy) in February and he bounced back with a fair fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f; cheekpieces added) last month; looks worth another try at this sort of trip and he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Lame when pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m6f, heavy); won on hurdle debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December before no match for two useful sorts there (2m3f, good to soft); could bounce back with good run in first-time cheekpieces now back on better ground. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran well in defeat in both bumpers and won on hurdle debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December; held in third there (2m3f, good to soft) since but he now goes handicapping off what could be a workable mark and the step up in trip is a possible plus. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Last of four in a Ludlow bumper in October; had wind surgery subsequently and stayed on well when fourth of ten finishers in a Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last month on hurdles debut; that was a step in the right direction but more is required here. |
6/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Half-brother to five winners including Yeah Man (2m7f hurdle/3m4f chase), Fletcher (2m3f/2m4f hurdle) and The Jukebox Kid (bumper, 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase), all useful; tongue tied and 7-1 outsider of four when he trailed in last at Ludlow (good to firm) in a bumper in October; had a wind operation soon afterwards and needs a transformation. |
