14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has posted two wins and a placed effort, all at about 2m, since switched to chasing; may still have more to offer but goes into unknown territory upped a mile in distance; tongue-tie added. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Point winner who left his bumper/novice hurdle form behind to score on handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in November, and followed up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; did it cosily last time and he could still be well treated for his top yard now 7lb higher. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdle winner at Ludlow (2m, soft); two decent runs over fences this season, last time finishing fourth at Warwick (2m, soft); each-way chance. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won over hurdles (2m, soft) last March; five starts over fences and has run respectably in four of them, including when third of nine at Worcester (2m, good) on her return last month; winner was a good second at Aintree next time; respected from the same mark. |

10st 5lb |
0-4 over fences but ran well to be third in a Cheltenham handicap for mares in April, finishing close up behind Somespring Special who recently won well at Chepstow; lurks off the lowest weight and could play a part. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |
12/1 |

5th 1 |
10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |

5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |

2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |
5/4 |

1st 7 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made a winning debut for Chris Gordon in September and has continued to run well in defeat; this longer trip shouldn't be a problem but he has been edging up the weights and he's 2lb out of the handicap here. |

10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Won at Stratford over 2m1f (good) in June and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) in July; ran better than the margin suggests at Worcester in August; suffered a seriously heavy defeat back at Stratford last time, however, while soft ground would raise a further concern. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness this season and is on a hat-trick after two wins at Stratford (2m1f/2m3f); up another 5lb since last time but must be considered in current form. |

10st 13lb |
Won three times in a row this winter (1m7f/2m, heavy-good to soft); made mistakes when well beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last time and his yard is in good form, but he needs to prove he can cope with his current mark, and also today's step up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three of his four races in this headgear combination and it was fairly comfortable at Catterick three weeks ago (1m7f, soft); shooting up the weights (raised another 8lb) but things have clicked in a big way. |
3/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Comfortable win at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) last month on his second start of the season and he followed up at Warwick (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; clearly thriving and may well complete the hat-trick. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Modest form in Ireland and was left clear to win British maiden point in May; subsequently pulled up in Southwell maiden hurdle in June on sole start for Christian Williams; beaten 85l on chase, handicap and stable debut last month. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Very poor hurdler in Ireland and was left clear to win a modest British point; never involved when 40-1 for a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Southwell this summer on only run for Christian Williams; goes chasing with an awful lot to prove. |
