17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Very smart Flat form in 2024, including on soft ground; not as good now judged on his exploits for current yard, though ran encouragingly to be an 11l third (led 3f out) at Wincanton behind Saturday's Victor Ludorum runner-up Pourquoi Pas Papa; now has to build on that. |
13/2 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual 1m4f Listed winner in France; however, his two British Flat runs last year were underwhelming and he ended up tailed off on hurdling debut at Chepstow having been weak in the market; good bit to prove now. |
6/1 |

13th 2 (4) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
5-14 in France for Andre Fabre, with five seconds too and they included one in a Group 3 and one in a 1m6f Listed race (both on very soft); bought for 220,000gns in January, followed by a never-dangerous last of five in Listed race here (1m4f, soft) in June but he presumably needed that run. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won 3yo maiden at the Curragh in 2023 but he hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years and an ordinary strike-rate over hurdles in the meantime suggests he'll struggle off his current mark back at this game. |
25/1 |

7th 4 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
1-19 over hurdles, the win gained from the front at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in April; below that form when fifth of six in recent 2m Uttoxeter handicap, though, and others in this field have much more potential. |
20/1 |

5th 3 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Only win in 18 runs over hurdles was in a maiden on penultimate start in April, that after finishing a well-held third in a 2m4f handicap; latest run at Punchestown three months ago is forgiven (tried a visor) but he's unconvincing against some of these. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating only one at Wincanton (2m4f) 22 days ago; needs to take a big step forward if he's to get off the mark at the seventh attempt. |
14/1 |
|
11th 6 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed significant promise in two slow-ground maidens here (1m7f) in January and ran much better than eventual 60l defeat suggests on last month's handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, heavy); not out of this if the much quicker surface suits. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Better when upped in trip for his two handicaps, winning by 7l over C&D (soft) last time; up 8lb but plenty to like after that smooth win. |

|
1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Modest in maiden/novice events (1m7f-2m) but better when stepping up in trip for handicap debut at Chepstow recently (2m4f, soft; runner-up, beaten nearly 10l); there's still time to brush up his jumping technique and, on pedigree, he should handle this extra yardage; chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Showed only minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m) in December/January but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Fair winning 2m hurdler who wasn't discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen in May; much respected now going chasing. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat who greatly advanced his form on his handicap hurdle debut when scoring easily at Hereford (2m) eight days ago; major shout under a 7lb penalty. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
His first effort of note when beaten just over 5l in a Wincanton handicap (1m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in which he rallied gamely after stumbling three out; now he's of interest. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Modest in four Flat races (2023 and 2024) but, after a big layoff, no worthwhile form in three maiden hurdles this year; at least handicap hurdle debut should help and the market can guide again. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |
20/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Some light at the end of the tunnel after a 13l defeat here in March (2m1f, good to soft) and this longer distance should suit as she's got a stout pedigree; quite interesting with that in mind. |
