3rd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
1-16 over hurdles and lost his way in this discipline when trained in Ireland; however, he's back on track for new yard having finished first and second in 1m6f/2m Flat handicaps this month; could be on a handy mark back over jumps. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Lost his way in Ireland last year as a hurdler but, having first Flat run since June 2023, made a winning start from the front for new yard in handicap at Thirsk (1m6f, good to firm) 15 days ago; the big outsider of five that day and dictated a slow pace, but he's gone back up by just 2lb and the return to 2m may well suit him; major player in bid to win a second time under Millie Wonnacott. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner at up to 2m for Keith Dalgleish in early summer 2023; consistent in handicap hurdles in Ireland in 2024, including a 2m6f win, but lost his way badly there last year; back on the Flat for a new yard after 196 days off with a fair bit to prove. |

8st 11lb |
Running well since upped to 1m6f, recording form figures of 212 on his last three starts; no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again and he is travelling a long way for this assignment. |

2nd 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Positive start to his time with Bernard Llewellyn, getting off the mark in 1m6f Soutthwell handicap 17 days ago; showed promise on turf for previous yard and should remain competitive off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-7; shaped with encouragement here over 1m4f on his yard debut and backed up that impression when second of ten at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 15 days ago; unexposed over this distance and he's a major contender. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (1m4f) in April and backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m6f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; in the mix once more. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat. |

1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces, having finished a close fifth in sole attempt in this headgear (penultimate start); didn't fare so well back in blinkers latest. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Touch disappointing over hurdles for this yard but fared better back on the Flat when fifth of 12 over 1m4f at Pontefract (good to soft) 25 days ago and three subsequent winners have emerged from that race; swaps the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time for blinkers he tried once over hurdles; his best RPR on the Flat was achieved over this trip. |
5/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen on the Flat since well-held third on heavy ground for Ed Walker last autumn and subsequent hurdling form for Jedd O'Keeffe was not particularly inspiring; sports first-time cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Had a good 2025, winning over 1m7f at Ayr (good to firm) and 2m at Chester (good); also runner-up on five other occasions, including his reappearance. |
4/1 |

10 (12) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Chester (2m, good) last month and nearly caught The Crafty Mole (who was perhaps idling) at Ripon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; also effective over this C&D and he's in the mix. |
