21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Sole Flat win (31 attempts) was debut in 2020; had two hurdle wins (2m5f and 2m4f) in 2025 and there have been bits of chase form in recent months; visor returning instead of blinkers might possibly help, but there are more likely candidates. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |

12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Holds poor claims on Flat/jumps form this year for new stable and was beaten 32l when a 66-1 shot over C&D 11 days ago; cheekpieces replace visor; opposable. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won this 12 months ago but has never been straightforward and has done nothing this year under either code. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner who appeared to have emerged from a spell in the doldrums when clear second of five at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) in July; it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the same mood again today but he remains well handicapped and won his only previous Fontwell chase. |

2nd 4 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner but he's lost his way since a 2m4f success at Ffos Las (good to soft) last June and has offered little in three runs this season; well treated on his best form but with plenty to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner; unseated rider in early stages of a chase last month, after a layoff, and was tailed-off 66-1 shot when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; others have much less to prove. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner (including on heavy) who has run a couple of fair races since joining this yard in the autumn, but this 10yo was tailed off at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago and his losing sequence continues. |
16/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
10yo who has not won since January 2024 but he's reached the frame in two of his three runs for current yard; now 2lb lower than when third of 14 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he could be in the mix back at this trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) in October and followed up in a chase here over the same trip later that month when finishing alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; needs to bounce back. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) where he finished alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; on a perfectly good mark if he can bounce back to form. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) later in October where he finished alone after being left in isolation three out; tailed off in a Hereford chase on latest start and absent 107 days since; back hurdling on a competitive mark but with more to prove on worse than good to soft. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Placed on final three outings last season, most recently when third of ten at Taunton (3m, good) in March; remains on career-high mark for this reappearance but won't be far away if fully tuned up. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got back on track with a second at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December and the first three pulled well clear in that race; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he's still unexposed as a stayer. |
