20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who got off the mark in this sphere on his handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) last month; scrambled home that day but is lightly raced and may show further improvement off 5lb higher. |

1st 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won Southwell bumper in February 2025; bled from the nose at Lingfield in January but has been ready to run since February and an earlier run, a promising runner-up to a useful one at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in November, suggests he will be competitive on handicap debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at minor ability before having wind surgery and the operation seemed to help as she forged clear of A Tickatickatiming on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in February; should make a go of it off 3lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles with modest RPRs under this code, including over C&D, but she may take a step forward now handicapping on first start since wind surgery; behind Penn Avenue on latest effort. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Second in consecutive 2m handicaps (one here) in February/March but wasn't quite in same form when well-held third on latest start and is now 0-9 over hurdles; unexposed at around 2m4f but needs to find something extra. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
French Flat winner in 2024; maiden hurdler who is proving hard to place in handicaps, albeit his latest defeat, over C&D last month, came at the hands of one who'd dropped a long way in the weights; needs more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten at short odds (well clear at one point) over C&D in January 2025; has fared better since, earning an RPR of 99 when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft; 4-1) latest; this lacks strength in depth, so he should have key role to play. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Well treated on 2023 form but hasn't raced on the Flat for over two years and recent hurdles efforts suggest he's not the same horse now; needs to prove he retains peak ability. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; yet to win over hurdles, but has made the frame on his last three starts, since returning from a lengthy absence; down to a career-low mark and holds claims. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but posted best of three runs for new stable (since a long absence) when third at Taunton (2m, good; behind Mi Sueno) last month and is another 1lb lower here; respected. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won good-ground maiden and novice hurdles last spring but he hasn't fired in handicaps, including in a tongue-tie on his last two starts and with added cheekpieces (now swapped for a visor) at Plumpton a fortnight ago; handicapper is trying to help but others look safer. |
14/1 |

5th 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won good-ground maiden (C&D) and novice hurdles last spring but he ran poorly on handicap debut here in between and his form at this level since hasn't borne much fruit (first-time tongue-tie latest, blinkers now added); however, he may well do better on second run back from a break with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over. |
6/1 |
|
8th 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
French recruit who scored twice (at around 2m) for his current yard last spring; not discredited when fourth at Newton Abbot on his return in October but he came in last of seven in 2m Exeter handicap the following month; needs to take a big step forward in a first-time tongue tie. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |
20/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ties in with Basilette on latest effort but that rival holds stronger claims kept to Stratford; has never won away from Plumpton and, despite a falling mark, her losing run is mounting up to boot. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Sole success over hurdles came in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; has shown bits of form since but was pulled up at Plumpton (2m, good) when last seen; difficult to enthuse over. |
