8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 9lb |
Second runner for yard; sole win came over fences at 2m4f here last year; mostly poor since including beaten a long way the last twice so major questions. |
20/1 |

11st 12lb |
Won over this trip at Downpatrick last summer but recent form leaves him with plenty to find, never travelling last time at Plumpton; visor now replaces cheekpieces. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over hurdles last November and recorded his first win on the Flat in Britain, at this track (2m1f, good to firm) in April off 4lb lower; good second at Ripon subsequently but finished last of six back there (2m, good) after slipping on the bend on the first circuit last month; swaps a visor for blinkers and may be worth forgiving latest run. |
4/1 |

Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has improved since handicapping, including a win at Stratford (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; may not have quite seen out the trip when third of seven there (2m3f, good to firm) 12 days ago, but very much of interest back at this distance; 1lb well in. |

11st 11lb |
Irish point winner who made steady progress in his qualifying races over hurdles last season; placed in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month and should have further improvement to come in handicaps. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive on the Flat last year; tailed off on hurdle debut at Stratford last month before 32l third over this C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago, behind two useful sorts; this race should take a lot less winning. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 9 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
3-13 on the Flat for George Boughey, the latest win gained in October (2m, AW; RPR 78), but struggled (albeit on soft ground) when making stable/hurdle debut against own age group last month. |

11st 3lb |
Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all five hurdle starts, including when pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces but hard to recommend. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won twice in the space of three starts last year but has soon returned to the doldrums; can't be supported with any confidence. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Two-time Flat winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had been struggling to get competitive in this code prior to his third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |
11/2 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but had been badly out of sorts prior to his second at Taunton (2m, good) last month; now switches to fences and needs to build on that revival, though he remains attractively treated on old form. |
