23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles when keeping on well for a 16-1 win at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last month; up 5lb but she responded well to a tongue-tie last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in points but this Jet Away mare has yet to offer much in five runs under rules, undergoing breathing surgery before coming in last of 11 on her first go in handicaps at Taunton (2m3f) last month; tongue tied now. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice at Hereford over 3m1f in the spring but has found life tougher since; pulled up at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago; others preferred. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his sole win off this mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June but has been tailed off on his last two starts; would be considered if operating at his best but needs to sharpen up. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one win in 22 starts but three decent runs when placed prior to a below par effort when tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; his poor win record does not inspire. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting. |
11/2 |

6th 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Peter Bowen; his latest run was when third in a Ffos Las handicap chase in April 2023; probably best watched on stable debut on return from a lengthy break. |
20/1 |

2nd 7 |
9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-14 but placed six times including when 10l third of 12 over hurdles here (3m, good to soft) five weeks ago; now goes chasing and should again be thereabouts if taking to the new discipline. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |
10/1 |

6th 6 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Landed his second success over fences, at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October off 1lb lower mark; second at Plumpton the following month but was tailed off at Wincanton when last seen; has been freshened up since and holds claims if putting his best foot forward. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |
33/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |
