29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Useful Flat racer who was placed in good-quality Newbury novice (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March, having travelled well for a long way; kept on far too strongly for Willie Mullins-trained rival when winning over C&D (good) last month; the one to beat. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has shown some useful form on the Flat and was placed in a good-quality Newbury novice (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March, having travelled strongly for a long way; had wind op in May; needs to be taken very seriously. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt in a Wetherby maiden (2m, good) in March; surpassed that with a cracking second in a big-field handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding) in May and should be up to defying a 7lb penalty in this company. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 9lb |
Authoritative Wetherby maiden winner (2m, good) last month on his fifth start over hurdles; needs to back it up now entering handicap company; one for the shortlist. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in fast-ground course bumper on debut in October and bounced back from a lesser effort when fourth of ten at Hereford (soft) last month; considered each-way on hurdling debut. |
10/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Decent second at Exeter (1m5f, good to firm) in October on debut but tailed off in Listed bumper at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month; needs to get back on track. |

10st 4lb |
Right back on song with second of 18 at York (1m2f) in June but only fifth of eight at Southwell (1m3f) since; needs to bounce back if he's to double his tally here. |

5th 1 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has worked his way back to form since disappointing stable debut in April and posted career-best performance when second of 18 at York (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; should be fine back on Tapeta; good chance. |
