21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Flat scorer who has raced twice over hurdles, looking value for a bit more than the neck winning margin in juvenile event over C&D (good to soft) latest having idled in front; interesting contender at the weights. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly raced for Michael Bell but won a 1m2f AW maiden and was close up in a Goodwood handicap; that Flat form is the best on show here and it was an encouraging start over hurdles when not beaten far in a maiden for mares at Kempton (staying on; good to soft); considered. |
13/2 |

5th 16 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Promising on Flat for Michael Bell (best RPR 84), AW winner at 1m2f; beaten a long way out over 1m6f (good to soft) in October and limited evidence suggests good ground suits best; hurdle debut for new yard. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has been in the wars over hurdles since nearly winning a juvenile event at Newbury in February; last seen on the Flat when winning this race by 6l 12 months ago when 7lb lower; likely contender. |
4/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |

3rd 2 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
4yo who went close on handicap debut at Ascot (1m7f, good) last March and bounced back from July's flop at Market Rasen to win in fine style at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to firm) four weeks ago; 8lb higher in a better race today but open to further improvement and he's respected. |

1st 2 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Appeared unlucky to go down by under a length at Ascot in March (traffic issues), but didn't enjoy himself in the Summer Hurdle on sole start since; still early days in handicaps, and no ground issues. |
9/2 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced winning hurdler in France; had a wind operation prior to posting career-best form when a fast-closing second at Ascot in March; up 4lb but has his age allowance now tackling his elders and also the assistance of Harry Cobden. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 on the Flat and he's been well held at biggish prices in three hurdle runs this winter; now switches to a handicap but opening mark looks on the high side and he needs improvement. |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden who had plenty of chances on the Flat and has been beaten 22l and 64l in two races over hurdles at this track; admittedly, he was never going to mix it with Sober Glory last time, but probably one for handicaps. |
50/1 |
|
4th 10 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent maiden on Flat and failed to make much of a splash in C&D juvenile hurdle last time; opposed. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third over hurdles at Taunton (extended 2m, good) in March but failed to match that level on starts either side; cheekpieces are now applied for handicap debut and, while his jumping has lacked fluency at times, he's hard to dismiss representing top stable. |
9/2 |
|
7th 13 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 0-4 on Flat for previous yard; has lacked fluency in two attempts over hurdles (2m) but managed to run well, clear third, at Taunton latest; may take another step forward, especially if jumping better. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Well related (including as half-brother to a useful jumper) but 0-4 in these colours on Flat for Roger Varian, modest form in his closest finish; weak 11-2, 33l sixth of nine in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury (2m, good to soft) for new yard last month, looking best watched for the time being. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last time; has taken Flat form to a new level since switched to AW, finishing second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last September then going one better at Chelmsford (2m) in January; open to further progress back in this sphere, provided he takes to new headgear. |
11/4 |

7th 8 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Back from a break to get off the mark on the Flat last month (sixth attempt), albeit in a low-grade 2m handicap on the AW; has the stamina for hurdling and Sean Bowen is booked, but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of five on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in August but posted an improved effort when second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 145 days ago, shaping as if this longer trip would suit; off since but needs a second look. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-4 on Flat and 0-7 over hurdles but made the frame in three of his four handicap hurdles and was runner-up to Uncle Remus in 13-runner contest over C&D (good) last time; wore cheekpieces that day and tongue-tie on last two outings; probably thereabouts again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 14 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran his best race latest when fourth of nine finishers at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) in July in first-time tongue-tie (retained); now also sports first-time cheekpieces; place claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May but may not have stayed 2m4f when below that form last month; tongue-tie is fitted and this drop back in trip could see him in a better light. |
