23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise. |
9/4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene (effective on soft); wouldn't have won when falling at Sandown and then no match for a dark horse at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Only four completed when second on his handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) but the winner was a Pauling-trained favourite; that was his first run on good ground as a jumper. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Fairly close second of four in 1m4f Ripon novice (good) in sole start on the Flat last September; getting the hang of things in three qualifying starts over hurdles, on the last two occasions on soft ground in a hood; that aid is discarded but he brings potential to this handicap debut and warrants respect. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has won on the AW and over hurdles, with five victories combined; however, hasn't been on his game in either discipline on last four starts; bit to prove. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has won on the AW and over hurdles, with five victories combined; however, has managed only eighth in his last two races (1m6f/hurdle) and others have less to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner in June last year and got off the mark over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip and holds claims. |
11/4 |

1st 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who was placed in three good-ground maiden hurdles (2m1f-2m2f) last summer; safely held in Ludlow handicap last month, after a break, but might have needed that outing and remains lightly raced. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Newton Abbot bumper on his debut for this yard in June and consistent in three qualifying runs over hurdles, including when looking unlucky at that track (about 2m2f, good) in August on penultimate start; not seen since third over 2m4f in September but he's a player on this handicap debut back down in trip. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |
25/1 |
|
5 (14) |
4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Tardy starts have been a recurring theme for this C&D winner (heavy); very slowly away again on latest at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); can't afford to miss the break badly at this trip; capable but risky; cheekpieces left off. |
