7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from long absence with good-ground wins at Market Rasen and Warwick for new stable last month; should cope if the ground is softer here and might still be on the upgrade; must be considered. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made light of a 538-day absence to win for the first time on his stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago; handicapper has reacted by raising him 9lb but that may not be enough to stop him following up. |

Offered nothing during the briefest of comebacks in autumn 2024, and another long absence since; now 25lb lower than when first entering handicaps, however, and remains in the same ownership now as then; check for market confidence ahead of this stable debut. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f Flat winner for Alan King; yet to win over hurdles but a close second at Warwick in May (2m, good); fair run when stepped up to 2m6f at Cartmel in July (faded after the last) but bled from the nose when pulled up in a chase last time; bit to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Alan King 6yo who is 1-30 overall, the win coming on the Flat in 2023; one effort of note for this yard when second over hurdles in May; well held on the Flat more recently; chase debut. |

9st 12lb |
Ex-Alan King, with new yard this year; overall 0-7 over hurdles and 1-22 on the Flat; return to this sphere over 1m4f here (20-1) three weeks ago wasn't greatly persuasive but he is well down the weights. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in all four handicap hurdles but was well held when third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't fire on the Flat last month; probably needs to be perked up by a change of headgear here (usually wears cheekpieces) and Sean Quinlan appears to favour stablemate Expert Analysis. |

5th 2 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) but he was runner-up on the Flat at Yarmouth (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last October; has made the frame over hurdles in recent starts but others look stronger. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
15-race maiden under all codes but has reached the frame on all three occasions since switched to handicap hurdles; down another 1lb and back in trip, but needs to find more to open his account. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and was clear second to a big improver at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; today's 4lb higher mark is manageable if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |
15/8 |

2nd 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Made favourite for stable debut at Warwick (2m, good) in May but found things happening too quickly and was a never-dangerous fourth; moves back up in trip here, though, and may yet find some form for Ben Pauling. |

10st 5lb |
Ran no race here three weeks ago and needs to put that performance behind her but was placed in three of her first five handicaps and has a fighting chance if all goes to plan in first-time visor. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in three of her five handicaps, most recently when clear second of six under Sophie Carter at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; competes off same mark here; can make her presence felt again. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual Flat winner whose best hurdling effort came with the switch to handicaps when third at Southwell (2m, good) in May, but he failed to match that form when well backed at Warwick nine days later; latest Flat run is best overlooked and he has claims if reproducing the Southwell effort. |
8/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Well below market expectations over hurdles last time (potential stamina issues but has never been the most consistent) and returns to the Flat on a handy mark; course winner as a 2yo (good to soft) and he's considered under Fletcher Yarham. |
6/1 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; ran his best race in this sphere when third of ten finishers at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago on his handicap debut; has scope to improve further and should run well. |

10st 6lb |
Lightly raced gelding who left former yard for £5,500; only four ran when second on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) but ran well and didn't go unbacked. |

Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Billy Aprahamian, the latest in May (sold for £5,500 soon afterwards); needs significant improvement on this stable/chase debut but good market support will make him of interest. |

11st 8lb |
Tenth-time lucky over hurdles, winning at Newton Abbot (2m1f novices' handicap; 11-8 favourite) recently; slightly more required from this 5lb higher mark but he's consistent enough, so should give a good account. |
11/4 |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time AW winner who is yet to score in nine attempts over hurdles, but was placed on his last two starts in this sphere before a below-par Flat run at Redcar last time; this looks a good opportunity to open his hurdles account. |
2/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

Not seen on the Flat since narrow AW win over this trip in October but placed twice over hurdles in recent weeks; probably won't be far away. |
