18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner but 0-11 as a hurdler and can race freely; has shown he can be competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Looks exposed after eight hurdling starts but was second in run-of-the-mill Fontwell handicap (2m1f, good) in September and has each-way claims if in similar form again here. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Improved for the switch to 2m good-ground handicaps, looking well placed to defy a 9lb hike for his earlier Stratford success when unseating at the last at Plumpton latest; up 1lb more but case is obvious. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On the up since sent into handicaps and he readily landed 11-runner event at Stratford (2m) 22 days ago, forging clear from final flight; hiked up 9lb but still merits serious consideration. |

Lightly raced 7yo who has advanced his form since sent handicapping, runner-up (over 2m) at Fakenham and Plumpton this year; can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-13 over hurdles but gave good account of herself when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; effectively 2lb lower here and Benjamin Macey claims 5lb; no suprise if she goes well again. |
6/1 |

3rd 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has made the frame in handicaps from 2m to 2m5f; probably failed to stay nearly 3m last time and her previous run at Fakenham wasn't too shoddy; 2lb out of the weights but could play some role here. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
AW Flat winner; only win in 14 runs over hurdles was off this mark over C&D last May (good) when wearing a hood for the first time (as well as cheekpieces); hasn't done quite as well since, with today's combination of headgear the last twice. |
16/1 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time AW Flat winner who also scored in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (2m, good) last May and is just 1lb higher today; third at Wincanton on penultimate start was easily the best of his four efforts this autumn/winter, so he's not easy to trust. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner and added a Uttoxeter handicap last May (2m, good); placed in a Class 4 last time at Wincanton (good to soft) so a likely contender at this level; tongue-tie is added. |

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 |

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. |
