22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner who showed improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good) last month on his sixth attempt; creditable second over the same C&D subsequently and holds place claims at least while in this mood. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good as a hurdler (sixth attempt) when asserting by 5l in a five-runner and four-finisher novice handicap over C&D (good) 13 days ago, having breezed into the lead before two out under Charlie Maggs; hot favourite Noble Blue unseated early in that race; up 6lb but probably has a good chance. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Gained her breakthrough success at Wincanton (3m) in December but she's been well below par both runs since, pulled up at Huntingdon (25f) 22 days ago. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 13th attempt with an easy win at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) in December; way below form at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) next time and needs to resume her improvement. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went close on handicap debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f) in March before solid third at Taunton (3m, also good) one month later; drops sharply back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted and he remains unexposed on this introduction to fences. |
11/4 |

3rd 3 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Brought along steadily before taking a big step forward on his handicap debut when a clear second of seven at Sedgefield (2m4f) last month; up 5lb but remains low mileage and has his first go over this trip. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Did not get competitive in first five hurdle races (1m7f-2m; one run attracted stewards' attention) but has now been given a handicap mark, and is open to improvement over this new trip; watch the betting. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |
20/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |
7/4 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |
