15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner at up to 2m on Flat for Richard Hughes, reaching an RPR of 85 (has shown a similar level of form on turf); remains with same owner; has the potential to become a fairly useful hurdler. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
2-6 on Flat, with the second win registered over C&D (good) last August; two wins among his five hurdle races this season, including latest start, so he should be primed to run well again today. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner who progressed again to edge out Talakan at Ludlow in February and, although it was a rather sobering defeat at Warwick, that was against older opposition; good ground won't bother him but others might be on kinder marks. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on any ground; dual Flat winner who has shown steady progress in juvenile hurdles, most recently making all at Ludlow (2m) where held on by a neck from Talakan (declared 2:10); one of the main players. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Comfortably beat a big field in a Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) and following run here was too bad to be true; consistent prior to that and should be up to winning races off this sort of mark. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Drew 5l clear of his closest pursuer in big-field maiden at Lingfield (2m, soft) last time, adding to his good-ground bumper success and taking hurdles record to 321; steadily progressive and warrants respect. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Joined Ben Pauling for £54,000 after winning a bumper for Richard Bandey; held in two hurdle runs for current yard but he made a bold bid at Huntingdon (2m, soft) last month and was only narrowly denied by his main market rival; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's open to more progress. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; came from long way back to finish third on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft; 50-1) in March but she was beaten 11l and this is tougher from 5lb out of the weights; has work to do. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Runner-up in seller for Adrian Keatley in sole Flat start; pulled up in her first two hurdles runs late last year and she's finished a well-held seventh in last two starts; now goes handicapping off a lowly mark but she still needs plenty of progress. |

11st 6lb |
They only jumped four hurdles when this lightly raced 6yo made a successful handicap debut over C&D, winning by just under 4l; took a 10lb hit for that but he looks progressive. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his hurdling debut when second in 2m Aintree novice last May; well held after an absence both runs since at Wincanton and Warwick, but could still do better for leading yard now going into handicaps. |
