5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
The winner of two of his six starts for this stable, most recently at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in March off 4lb lower, but didn't quite match that level when fourth (2m4f, good) at Plumpton last month; may need to find more but likely to be in the mix. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
7yo who has a fair bit of experience but has been progressive for a new yard this term, making it two wins from his last three runs (2m3f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when scoring at Warwick last time; entitled to respect. |

Ran creditably on bare figures last time when bidding for an Ascot double; only 1-14 under rules compared to 2-3 in points but may still have more to offer for current yard. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins last June and latest was over C&D (good); no joy in just three runs since but he was in lead when he ran out and crashed through the rails before the second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; has possibilities if he can maintain his focus this time and he's well handicapped on his best form. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All three wins on good ground; won a 2m3f handicap at Warwick pretty easily and followed up back in novice company; well held since but he was returning from a lengthy break when pulling way too hard to Ludlow last month (2m5f); will need to settle if he's to stay this far but Harry Cobden takes over. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good with comfortable handicap win at Warwick (2m3f) in June and easily followed up in modest novice event at Newton Abbot (2m5f) three weeks later; didn't shape too badly when fourth at Ascot (about 2m3f, also good) on his November comeback but absent since; can race freely but this drying ground should suit and he's respected. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fell mid-race on chasing debut last month; better 18 days later on second attempt in that sphere (albeit last of three) and peak hurdles efforts make this look an attractive mark, but they were all at about 2m and this sort of trip is totally new under rules for this 2024 Irish 3m point winner. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fell mid-race here on chasing debut 18 days ago but twice ran well in today's headgear combination over hurdles last month and, with good ground suitable, has a good chance if able to transfer that form to fences. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Yet to take his form to any higher level since receiving a tongue tie and wind surgery, but he won't mind any drying ground as a hurdles winner on good and there's winning chasing prowess in the pedigree. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Safely held when fifth at Chepstow three weeks ago but justified heavy market support on stable debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in September, winning readily by over 5l, and could still build on that performance if coping with today's drop back in trip. |

Sold out of Jonjo and A J O'Neill stable after disappointing handicap debut in June (2m4f) but justified heavy market support when upped to 2m7f for Mickey Bowen at Worcester (good) a fortnight ago, winning readily by over 5l; hiked up 10lb for that but still commands respect. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won a good-ground Ffos Las maiden (2m) in the autumn and has finished second in two heavy-ground handicaps this year, the latter over 2m5f here; there's a good chance this new trip-and-ground combination will also suit, so he goes on the shortlist. |

2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who landed the odds in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; runner-up in two of his three handicaps since, including at Ascot (extended 2m3f) in November and Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's respected at this new trip. |

2nd 4 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; went close on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November and form of last month's Kempton fifth (2m, good) has worked out well; big player if handling today's ground (raced only on good). |

Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |
