16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Productive autumn included a Carlisle hurdles win (2m1f, good) off 4lb lower; two flops either side of a late fall since March, however, and doesn't enter this chasing debut in the same good heart as some. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Landed his second win over hurdles on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well on his next three starts; pulled up at Haydock last month but was in the process of running a good race when falling two out at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 16 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); decent ground looks to be the key and he should run well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won on reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well in defeat on next three starts (about 2m, good/good to soft); pulled up at Haydock only a fortnight ago, when more was amiss than just the 2m3f trip, but he's a player if bouncing back from that blip; cheekpieces go on. |

2nd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |
9/4 |

1st 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
All three wins over hurdles when trained in Ireland; running well at present and second of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) last month; threatening to get his head in front for this yard. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-4 under Liam Harrison, gaining this year's Newcastle (good to soft) and Huntingdon (good) hurdles wins from the front but earlier bumper and point gains came under patient tactics; no chasers in immediate pedigree but his mark looks about right for this chasing/handicap debut. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Soft-ground 2m4f point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark over hurdles on third attempt when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in January but pulled up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month; drops back in distance here and warrants another chance. |
9/4 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Soft-ground 2m4f British point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark on third hurdle start when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, also good to soft) seven weeks ago; up in trip and carries plenty of potential into this handicap debut. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise. |
8/1 |
|
9th 5 (9) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Claimed out of Jennie Candlish's yard for £12,000 after winning over hurdles at Catterick last time; could go well but looks no certainty to follow up, being 0-12 on the Flat (mostly turf starts). |
10/1 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
No win since August 2024 (Ballinrobe, 2m2f; for Jessica Harrington) but has finished runner-up on both visits to this track, including when racing too freely on return from a seven-month break over 2m4f (33-1) latest; top-rated, and dropping back in trip should suit; key player. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree. |
3/1 |
|
9th 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Made the running when winning two novice hurdles in November (2m3f/2m, good); ridden with restraint and pulled hard when failing to threaten in February in his first two handicaps (2m, good to soft/soft); could yet be capable of considerably better for his top yard, and a return to more prominent tactics might be the catalyst for an improved performance. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Run of progressive hurdling RPRs halted by an unsuccessful step up to 2m7f back in January; not bred for fences and needs to prove able to translate his better work back to good ground, but trip more suitable again. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles but posted some good efforts in Ireland last summer and was close fourth on stable debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in November; contender if stamina holds out on this first venture beyond 2m3f. |
12/1 |
|
9 |
8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 160y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden on the Flat in France; best of four maiden hurdle runs when fourth at Wexford; third behind the improving Pampar Lady at Kilbeggan in his first handicap; capable of making his presence felt. |
6/1 |
