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. |

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. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Only win in 18 runs over hurdles was in a maiden on penultimate start in April, that after finishing a well-held third in a 2m4f handicap; latest run at Punchestown three months ago is forgiven (tried a visor) but he's unconvincing against some of these. |

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. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
9-1 when fifth in the Chester Cup last year for Andrew Balding, which is as good as he's ever been on Flat; 7lb lower today, having been right off the boil for that yard later in 2025; recent hurdle efforts for new stable aren't enough to persuade, especially given such a wide draw. |

2nd 5 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A useful winning stayer on the Flat for Andrew Balding; yet to match that form in this sphere but he posted his best effort when third of ten in 2m4f handicap at Musselburgh 12 days ago; not out of things on this stiffer track. |

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. |

Favourite for a couple of good-ground contests, promising second at Bangor last April then disappointing at Stratford in October; nicely bred and may yet progress; not written off. |

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. |
7/4 |

2nd 5 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; brought along steadily for current yard before much improved on his handicap debut with second of 11 at Southwell (2m) 22 days ago, running on strongly late on having had a lot to do; big player with better to come. |

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. |
25/1 |

3rd 4 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off in sole bumper and 22l behind Follow Your Luck when fifth of ten at 200-1 on recent hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft); lots of improvement is needed to turn the tables with his stablemate but at least that latest run gives him something to build on; not ruled out each-way. |
