5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Managed only third when odds-on for modest 2m Huntingdon maiden last month (albeit form was recently boosted by the winner) and is now 0-8 over hurdles; should be fine over today's longer trip but needs to up his game on this handicap debut; tongue-tie added. |

19th Feb 2026 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Point winner who is 0-7 over hurdles and hasn't progressed, but he's finished in the first three on five of his seven starts in this sphere (including on soft ground) and holds leading claims in this weak race. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Came good at sixth attempt, keeping on resolutely at Newcastle (2m6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; 6lb higher here but has plenty of scope for further progress if his jumping is more fluent this time. |
7/2 |

1st 6 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Perked up again sent handicapping for his two starts this season, in fact best effort when second of nine at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft; up 3lb today) last time; on that evidence this longer trip will suit him well. |
5/2 |

2nd 8 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Shaped quite well before fading into sixth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October and probably still has some potential but he's been off for another four months since. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed 5yo who might have been stretched by 2m5f when third of nine on handicap debut at Haydock (good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March; contender if combination of drop back in trip and switch to visor helps. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Began hurdling career with two inauspicious runs in the autumn but displayed significant improvement when third at Plumpton (2m, soft; winner followed up in recent handicap) in January; sports first-time cheekpieces and moves up in trip for this handicap debut; can progress again. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Looked set to justify 2-5 favouritism before last-fence fall on point debut last March, but he's been beaten 53l and 24l on both runs over hurdles (2m) in November; looks one for the longer term. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No immediate improvement for a switch to handicap company when fourth of nine over 2m5f at Haydock (good to soft) seven weeks ago but it's still early days for a good stable with a very strong Perth record. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not seen since struggling in good-quality Newbury maiden in November but significant positives can be drawn from his first two hurdle runs (both 2m); up in trip for this handicap debut and open to improvement. |
5/1 |
|
8th 3 |
17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner (yielding) who bettered his disappointing bumper debut when third of six at Taunton (heavy) in February; probably needs to improve again to make a winning hurdle debut but riding arrangements suggest he's the pick of Olly Murphy's four runners. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Perhaps a shade disappointing when only midfield in 14-runner C&D (good to soft) handicap in January but was placed on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day and has claims if judged on that effort. |
8/1 |

7th 16 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seven-race maiden; ran well behind Brookside La at Wetherby (2m3f) on handicap debut most recently and may build on that effort; along with Killycarn, helps to give his stable a reasonably promising hand. |
12/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Fair effort when third on second of three runs in bumpers last December; made jumping errors on hurdles debut when sixth of ten in a Newcastle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in February; improvement required. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-5 over hurdles but shaped well before fading into fourth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good; first run after wind op) this month and Ben Pauling is evidently keen to launch his chasing career; interesting. |
9/4 |

4th 2 |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran against some useful novices in his qualifying races; again struggled on his handicap debut at Haydock, but he was only 9-2 for that 2m5f race (first-time tongue-tie now dispensed with) and has since undergone a wind operation; wouldn't be exposed just yet; market could be informative. |
5/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Safely held in three 2m novice hurdles this season but faced some useful opposition, and has much better chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap if the new trip suits; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (good) last July but he's struggled since, including when pulled up on chase debut at Wetherby in March; overall record is now 0-9 and he has plenty to prove after a short break; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden whose hurdles form has dipped since a consistent spell; however, this combination of a switch to fences and first-time headgear may have a positive effect; bred to make a chaser. |
8/1 |

7th 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer but returned from break with two lesser efforts towards end of last year; off for another three months since and needs to get career back on track. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise under rules in Ireland for Willie Mullins last year (five runs) and, having changed hands for 1,200gns in the autumn, was pulled up in a maiden point on British debut in January. |
25/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Midfield finish on bumper debut at Wexford; tailed off in two of three maiden hurdle runs, okay effort at Downpatrick when a 6.25l fourth of six (2m6f, good), sandwiched between two poor runs; little to recommend him other than the yard he hails from. |
6/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Sent off 2-1 favourite for bumper debut at Wexford when a disappointing 13.5l seventh; tailed off over hurdles here following that (3m, good to yielding); better at Downpatrick last time when a 6.25l fourth; can improve again, but others bring more pressing claims; one of two for trainer. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground two starts ago but his other two qualifying runs were quite encouraging, the latter a well-held third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month; up in trip for handicap debut and should have some improvement to come. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Best hurdles run when 17l fourth of seven at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) on debut in November; chance on that form but needs to bounce back from a lesser run on heavy ground at Exeter last time. |
9/1 |
