3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins for new stable last season (2m, heavy-good to soft) and he's continued in good form, beaten only 1l when fourth at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; the drop back in trip could help; firmly in calculations. |
7/2 |

4th 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins for new stable last season, the latest here (2m, good to soft) in March; might have been a shade unlucky when keeping-on third at Stratford (2m2f, good; denied clear run) last time and is unexposed over 2m4f but needs to maintain his progress to land this prize. |

3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In fine form for his current yard and he got back on the up with 2m Fakenham handicap success 15 days ago; up 3lb but strong at the finish there so he holds excellent claims back over a longer trip. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Second in consecutive 2m handicaps (one here) in February/March but wasn't quite in same form when well-held third on latest start and is now 0-9 over hurdles; unexposed at around 2m4f but needs to find something extra. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
French Flat winner in 2024; maiden hurdler who is proving hard to place in handicaps, albeit his latest defeat, over C&D last month, came at the hands of one who'd dropped a long way in the weights; needs more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten at short odds (well clear at one point) over C&D in January 2025; has fared better since, earning an RPR of 99 when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft; 4-1) latest; this lacks strength in depth, so he should have key role to play. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-14 over hurdles, and C&D second in January (good to soft) was the fourth time he's been beaten under a length in this sphere; not obviously ungenuine for all that, however, and he'll likely be just right for this after a couple of recent Flat spins; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Modest maiden hurdler who returned to the Flat following 20-month absence when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago; needs to come down the weights. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden and no recent evidence to suggest she's about to put that right. |
33/1 |

7th 9 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
30-race maiden Flat and jumps; bought for 3,400gns in February; well beaten on stable debut at Kelso last month (2m2f, good); should improve for that run; on a good mark at present. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-22 on the Flat and 0-7 over hurdles; sold out of Matt Crawley's stable for 3,400gns after well-held fourth at Fakenham (2m, soft) in February but ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here, and could plausibly have been perked up by her new regime. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Had some fair form for Michael Wigham but well held in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Fakenham this term after a long absence; hard to make a case for in his bid to gain a maiden success. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced maiden who left his previous yard for 3,500gns; at 16-1, he was struggling a long way out on stable debut at Uttoxeter (soft). |

Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile bumper winner for previous stable, but has struggled over hurdles and beaten 21l+ in three starts, latterly in a hood (retained); makes handicap debut aided by Jamie Gambin's 10lb claim, but has plenty to prove and others make more obvious appeal. |
16/1 |
