1st 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |

1st 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat. |

11st 0lb |
Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fair and reliable winning hurdler who advanced his form when going 2-2 over fences in 2m1f Plumpton handicap a week ago; reverts to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark here so merits serious consideration. |
11/8 |
|
1st 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner; 1-9 over hurdles but progressive overall and got off the mark over fences with a narrow success at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) nine days ago; leading claims, although a 7lb penalty does ask a stiffer question. |
15/8 |

1st 1 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but ended last season with two good seconds at Sedgefield (both 2m1f, good), and last year's Irish point win also bodes well for his prospects on this chasing debut. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
1-21 over hurdles, his win coming at Musselburgh in December (1m7f, soft); has continued to run well since, notably when second over 2m2f here and on the Flat last time; one to consider. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 on the Flat when trained in Ireland and not seen in this sphere since summer 2024, but has largely been in good form over hurdles for Iain Jardine since the autumn; might be the answer. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Irish; got off the mark over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December off 6lb lower; placed three times since, running up to his best when second of 11 finishers at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month; should be thereabouts. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt. |

Recently changed hands for 8,000gns after a quiet run on the Flat; did win over hurdles for Brian Ellison and was second off this mark at Sedgefield last month; could feature. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles; has a very mixed record and is sometimes a clumsy jumper but made a bold bid from the front when third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) two runs ago and can't be ruled out; tongue tied for first time. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Improved third in 2m1f Carlisle novice (soft) in February; well treated on that form but hasn't managed to reproduce it in two subsequent handicaps, although he probably pressed for home too far out when third back at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in refitted cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago; remains one who could click from a lowly mark. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Outran 150-1 odds when placed in novice hurdle here (2m1f, soft) last month, his fifth hurdling start, but jumped poorly and was safely held in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) two days later; effectively 7lb higher today and comes with risk; cheekpieces refitted. |

10st 13lb |
Won C&D juvenile hurdle in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last season's placed efforts but his Flat form in second half of last year was mixed and he fell when back over hurdles in January; others have less to prove. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; modest third on first two Flat starts at the end of the summer; faded to finish seventh switched to AW here on his qualifying run but low-grade handicaps provide him with a much more realistic chance. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won over hurdles in October 2023; switched to the Flat in his last two starts and was a respectable third at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last time but was beaten 5l in that race and this is much tougher on his AW debut. |

0-10 over hurdles and still operating too far below her 2024-25 level to consider; pulled up behind Bunker Bay over C&D latest. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

29-race maiden who has struggled back over hurdles in his last two runs; finished second in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in January but was beaten 6l and that took his AW record to 0-12; down the list. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Runner-up on AW last month and now has first hurdle start for current yard; however, that recent Flat form is very modest, he's achieved little in this code, and he's yet to win after 27 attempts (seven over hurdles). |

10st 2lb |
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was unable to justify his market prominence when safely held on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and struggled in a Catterick claimer on Wednesday; 1lb wrong here; needs a good boost from the new blinkers. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

Seven-race maiden; no impact whatsoever from a lowly base for handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f; seventh of eight, beaten 21l) in December; off for 83 days since; rates as an unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |

2 (11) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles; wears cheekpieces for Flat debut; Geordie Mackem looks the stable's main hope. |
