22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Opened his account over hurdles with a smooth success at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; there should be more to come but this looks a better contest so a bit more improvement required. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unexposed 4yo who was runner-up in a Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month and he had an excuse when upped to 2m4f there six days later; could resume his progress on this drop back in trip and he's an interesting contender for Dan Skelton. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Signs of progress until unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and backed that up with a second here last week; half-brother to the stable's smart 2m-2m6f winner Unexpected Party, so this trip should be well within range. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
15-race maiden but he ran well in two hurdle handicaps last month including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start; only 1lb higher here and he should go well again. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
14-race maiden; 0-6 in this discipline but he's improved for the switch to handicaps and produced a solid effort off this mark when runner-up at Stratford (extended 2m) and coping well with the good to firm ground; can play a major role again. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 under all codes but ran well for a long way before weakening into fifth of seven on handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here. |

26th Jul 2026 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned after six months off with a win in a Warwick handicap (2m, good) last November; back near that form when third of six at Stratford four weeks ago but he has not yet ventured beyond 2m1f. |
3/1 |

3rd 3 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned after six months off with a win in a Warwick handicap (2m, good) last November; looks interesting on that form but he fell on his final run during the winter and was tailed off on his Aintree reappearance last month; still has low mileage but he needs to bounce back near best. |
13/2 |
|
7th 3 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who returned from layoff with clear win at Warwick (2m, good) in November; absent since last-flight fall at Newbury in January but has possibilities if fully tuned up after latest break. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All of his four hurdle wins have been at Stratford and latest was a front-running success over about 2m3f (good to firm) last month; remains feasibly treated off 3lb higher and this in-form 7yo is a major player on this drop back in trip. |
6/4 |

1st 5 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
All three wins over hurdles have been over C&D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Stratford; returned to form with close second there (2m2f, good) last month and can probably cope with subsequent 2lb nudge but he's away from his favourite track today. |

Regressive over hurdles lately and this Flat maiden hasn't run in this sphere for over three years; the cheekpieces are new. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time winner hasn't got her head in front since October 2024; runs of last winning mark but has failed to fire this season; last of six at Stratford on latest; new blinkers need to transform. |
33/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
10st 6lb |
Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle last week, but on balance of form it's hard to take that effort literally; this is a belated return to fences (0-5). |
