4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the most of a drop in class when regaining winning form at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher and back up in grade, but he still holds more compelling claims than a few. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three AW wins for previous stable; 0-8 for current yard and his form has declined rather sharply; however, he may produce a resurgent display back at this level, being 2-2 in Class 6. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
3/1 |

4th 3 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gradually found his feet on AW for new yard since returning from lengthy absence and gained neck wins at Southwell (2m) the last twice; at the top of his game and he was effective on turf in Ireland. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Bounced back from a lesser effort when third of eight here last month and built on that to record his first success for this stable over C&D nine days ago; lively contender under a 5lb penalty. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual turf winner in Ireland who was having his third start for this yard when third of eight over C&D this month; drops in grade and every chance if building on that performance. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 12 starts; posted a solid effort when third of nine in first-time blinkers here in February and probably would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fourth over C&D 35 days ago (Charlie Darling was third); claims. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly sound AW form since October features an account-opening win over 1m6f; posted a solid-looking effort in new headgear (blinkers) over C&D most recently; runs off the same mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7b; highly respected. |

3rd 4 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning yard debut at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April and he's since won over hurdles at Musselburgh in November; bounced back from a lesser effort when second of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all to win a small-field handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April off a 2lb higher mark, and made a winning debut over hurdles in November; stayed on for third in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle in March (visored first time) but looked stretched by 2m latest; this trip should be in range and he can't be ruled out. |
9/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
AW/hurdles winner; ran well in first-time visor at Newcastle (12.5f) returned to this code most recently; place possibilities in the retained headgear, provided he's as effective back up in distance. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |
9/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner in November 2024, but finished miles behind Charlie Darling on his return from 11 months off back here 26 days ago; the market should indicate whether a much better effort is anticipated. |
9/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Two from two over C&D, namely wins in November 2024 during a good spell on AW; eventually lost his form and has been absent since last May but looks interesting back here. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last time; has taken Flat form to a new level since switched to AW, finishing second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last September then going one better at Chelmsford (2m) in January; open to further progress back in this sphere, provided he takes to new headgear. |
11/4 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Back from a break to get off the mark on the Flat last month (sixth attempt), albeit in a low-grade 2m handicap on the AW; has the stamina for hurdling and Sean Bowen is booked, but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of five on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in August but posted an improved effort when second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 145 days ago, shaping as if this longer trip would suit; off since but needs a second look. |
