22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles, the win gained from the front in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) in April; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently on last three hurdling starts and was well beaten on the Flat last month but has slipped to a good mark. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won 3yo maiden at the Curragh in 2023 but he hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years and an ordinary strike-rate over hurdles in the meantime suggests he'll struggle off his current mark back at this game. |

7th 4 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
1-19 over hurdles, the win gained from the front at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in April; below that form when fifth of six in recent 2m Uttoxeter handicap, though, and others in this field have much more potential. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at seventh attempt, keeping on well in first-time cheekpieces at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month; moves up from Class 5 today, though, and others have more compelling form. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful 1m6f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; in good form for new yard over hurdles in the spring but came in a remote fourth in 2m4f Southwell novice in June; more is needed in first-time cheekpieces after a break. |
9/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat racer who made the frame on four of his five hurdling starts for Donald McCain last season, most notably when third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March; well beaten in good-quality Flat handicap last month but ought to play a significant role in this. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in a Bangor bumper on debut but since then beaten 26l+ in two further bumpers and as many maiden hurdles; hard to be confident about him, but it's still relatively early days. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Best run was the bumper debut at Bangor; beaten 26l+ in his subsequent races, the latest his hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good). |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Shaped well when a debut second in Bangor bumper last April but has twice failed to build on it in similar company, off five months before fifth at Huntingdon last month; more is required now going hurdling. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has done well since going handicapping, posting two close seconds over 2m before getting off the mark stepped up to 2m4f at Worcester in July (good; re-opposing Royal Rhythm has won twice since); has since left Jennie Candlish; obvious contender up 4lb on debut for Tom Ellis. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; still lightly raced and runner-up in both his handicaps, only narrowly failing to justify market support last time here over 2m; only 3lb higher and should stay this far; has been held up in recent races. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not devoid of ability in novice hurdles last season but likely to be vulnerable again on this reappearance unless finding improvement. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced maiden who came in a remote third over C&D in February; cheekpieces on when unseated rider at the third in a 2m novice here 22 days ago and he needs to take a big step forward. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required. |
