28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |
5/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Fair Flat racer who battled well to win 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month, after a break, and is now 2-4 in this sphere; 5lb claimer William Shanahan is enlisted today; high on the list. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |

9 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has a patchy profile but he justified support when bouncing back with a strong-finishing win here (1m4f) last month; up 4lb but that was a cosy success and the form has been boosted by the runner-up since; interesting contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't progressed from a good 2yo effort and he holds weak claims on Flat/hurdles form for current yard; however, may be capable of a resurgent display, with this contest being far from strong. |
13/2 |
|
11th 14 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
After showing promise he became disappointing during his short Flat career, and he was beaten 19l when fourth of six on his recent hurdle debut at Fakenham (2m, good); however, that was his first run since last November and it's possible he'll get closer to the target today. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His three wins were all on the Flat in 2024, including here on heavy ground over 1m2f; failed to build on his comeback run when well beaten over hurdles at Kempton 52 days ago and the hood returns on this switch back to the Flat; makes some appeal from a good mark. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Maiden over hurdles but remains well treated judged on best Flat form and may build on latest effort, namely third at Plumpton (2m) on return from layoff and wind surgery; enters calculations. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par at Ripon (2m, good) last time but failed to settle and she was progressive previously, finishing third of 13 at Salisbury in August following a break (1m6f, good to soft; unraced on softer); retains potential; dam was a Listed winner on soft ground for connections. |
13/2 |

6th 9 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and back to something approaching her best when close up after a break at Salisbury (1m6f, good to soft); in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much improved since sent beyond 1m2f and perhaps ready for a break when turned over at prohibitive odds in a three-runner race at Lingfield (2m) in June; has an 8lb higher mark to deal with now but could still have improvement in her; all turf runs on good or faster. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes his handicap hurdle debut and the cheekpieces he wore on his most recent Flat starts return; best to check for market confidence. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-7 for James Horton but she finished second in turf handicaps over 1m4f and 1m6f last season; sold for 27,000gns in October; likely to stay 2m and she's not fully exposed; interesting. |
7/4 |
|
9 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Went close on handicap debut at Leicester (1m4f, good) in July but hasn't been at the same level on either outing since (1m4f, AW/good). |
