16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Form dipped last time when bidding for a hurdles hat-trick; won his last Flat attempt but that was on turf in autumn 2024; AW record is 0-7. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair Flat racer who came good over hurdles at the fourth attempt when winning Fakenham maiden (2m, good) in April, but he jumped and ran poorly at Plumpton last month and needs to bounce back. |

Fair Flat racer who came good over hurdles at fourth attempt, digging deep to regain lead on run-in in Fakenham maiden (2m, good) in April; well held when fourth on handicap return in June, though, and needs more here. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has been chasing, not beaten far when third at Worcester (2m, good) in September but rather disappointing over the same C&D last time; has four wins to his name over hurdles; not ruled out. |
6/1 |

5th 11 |
26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved. |
9/4 |
|
9 |
29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-14 over hurdles, and C&D second in January (good to soft) was the fourth time he's been beaten under a length in this sphere; not obviously ungenuine for all that, however, and he'll likely be just right for this after a couple of recent Flat spins; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Modest maiden hurdler who returned to the Flat following 20-month absence when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago; needs to come down the weights. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account in similar event over C&D (good) last week, taking Bath record to 42321 and adding to his AW/hurdles wins; incurs 4lb penalty but defied this mark a couple of years ago; very solid chance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple AW winner who has won over hurdles but is 0-18 on turf on the Flat; won at Wolverhampton in March (1m4f) but he's not easy to predict. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Landed some tidy bets when taking this in 2024 but subsequently went on a barren spell; finally back on the scoresheet last month but disappointed in a classified (also C&D) one week later; had an excuse that day but others look more solid. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Flat winner but 0-17 over hurdles and her third two runs ago was remote; opposable. |
33/1 |
|
8 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles with limitations well exposed, but last month's 25l third at Hereford can be marked up as she'd tried to make all (not her usual run style) off the back of a 170-day absence; place claims. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to win in 15 starts over hurdles, having shown some promising placed efforts last summer before her form dipped in the autumn, and she was last seen finishing lame (well held) at Stratford in October; returns on a competitive mark, but with a bit to prove. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed. |
10/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has very modest 2-44 strike-rate over hurdles but made the frame on both starts in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) and is suited by this C&D; won't mind what the weather does; probably won't be far away. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break. |
7/2 |

1 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In good form when last seen in September 2024, following a win at Worcester (2m, good) with a close third at Newton Abbot; returns from 13 months off with his stable banging in the winners; high on the list. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at ninth attempt, quickening clear on run-in to win conditional jockeys' race under James Turner at Worcester (2m, good) last week; escapes a penalty and is 7lb ahead of the handicapper here. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Unplaced all nine runs in points and over hurdles but she has shown a glimmer of ability, and she finished ahead of two of today's rivals when fifth at Plumpton four weeks ago on her first outing for Fergal O'Brien, beaten only after a mistake two out; has since had wind surgery; quite interesting in first-time cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-5 over hurdles when trained by Barry Brennan but the first of her two handicap runs this season was fairly respectable and it will be interesting to see what new trainer Fergal O'Brien can do with her. |
11/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Last month's 11l Worcester fifth (2m, good) represents her closest finish to date, but she didn't hit the line sufficiently hard to suggest further is required yet; tongue tie debuted there is retained. |

Beaten at least 23l all starts and her latest outing (after wind surgery) offered little; now tackles her first handicap after a long break. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Minor promise in two Irish bumpers; 150-1 for British debut in a Listed mares' novice hurdle at Taunton (2m, good to soft) and not surprisingly finished a remote last; down in class but no solid claims. |

10st 2lb |
Gave good account when close fourth over C&D (good; also suited by soft) in November but was below that form at Taunton last month and is now 0-16 over hurdles; 1lb wrong; others preferred. |
16/1 |

11 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made the frame twice (2m, soft/good) in spring 2024; now returns from a lengthy absence but he'll have possibilities if ready to roll. |
