1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Fair winning 2m hurdler who wasn't discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap at Market Rasen in May; much respected now going chasing. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest. |

Fair maiden on the Flat who greatly advanced his form on his handicap hurdle debut when scoring easily at Hereford (2m) eight days ago; major shout under a 7lb penalty. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
No joy in four goes over fences and made a winning return on his handicap debut in this sphere at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; bumped into an improver when second at Hereford (2m, good) last month and should be on the premises. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but came right back to form reverting to hurdles last time, gaining a hard-fought win at Plumpton (2m, good to soft), his first success of any kind; handles most ground and 3lb rise leaves him still well treated on the pick of last season's hurdling form; leading contender. |

10st 9lb |
Fair third from out of the weights in a C&D handicap (good to firm) 12 days ago; 2lb lower today but this looks tougher than last time and she's now 0-22 over hurdles. |

10st 12lb |
Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark and made a fairly encouraging reappearance on good ground 12 days ago but the cheekpieces are missing again here. |

Took a long time to open his account but won four times in cheekpieces (2m3f-2m4f) on ground slower than good last season; already back down to a workable mark but the forecast good ground is probably not ideal on this first start since April, and the cheekpieces are missing. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Free-going sort who gained a first success in this sphere over C&D in September but she ended the season below par; freshened up since and no surprise to see her get back on track after a layoff. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Came off worst in a pace battle with Granny B and ultimately 6l behind her at Hereford latest (2m, good); could still race more sparingly, but 3lb lower today and fared okay in a C&D juvenile last winter. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped with promise in juvenile hurdles in December, and although his run last month on handicap debut was a shade disappointing, the heavy ground likely counted against him; hood worn the last twice is retained, and a better showing can be expected from this 4yo returned to a more suitable surface. |
13/2 |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Owned by Andrew Balding, for whom he was third in a 1m novice on sole Flat start; has shown enough in juvenile hurdles (hooded last time) to believe he can threaten in a handicap of this nature, provided he copes with the ground (unraced on softer than good to soft). |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences. |
3/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help. |

10st 4lb |
Produced a couple of placed efforts over C&D during the summer; below par recently when back from a two-month break and, although entitled to build on that, he's now 0-17 over hurdles and others make more appeal. |
10/1 |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Gave a good account when third of 12 over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) in July but is 0-16 over hurdles now and others in this line-up have more potential. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

AW winner who is 0-15 over hurdles; latest third over C&D was one of his better efforts but he looks worth taking on from 3lb out of the weights. |

10st 2lb |
Sole success came at Kempton in July 2025 when 4lb higher; beaten six times over hurdles for current yard since but shaped better when third of seven at this track (1m6f) last month despite racing freely; needs to settle better in order to fulfil his potential. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |

1-20 under rules and hasn't set the world alight since joining this yard; didn't settle when fifth of nine over C&D eight days ago and probably best watched despite a 4lb drop. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |

Sole success came in a Kempton AW handicap in July last year when trained by Tom Ward; had an unsuccessful stint over hurdles this year for current yard, and well held in a couple of 2m handicaps since; drops back in trip on AW return and best watched for now. |
