6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser but maiden on the Flat; fair third over 1m4f at Kempton two runs back, but tailed off at Bath last time (1m4f, good); others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
11th 3 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hurdle/chase winner (good/good to soft) who has belatedly switched to the Flat; struggled at massive prices in maiden/novices on first three starts but showed he can make an impact in low-grade handicaps when third of 11 at Kempton (1m4f) last month; considered. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (10) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner but he's struggled at massive prices in three Flat runs (1m/1m2f) on Polytrack; now switches to a low-grade handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f. |

Bumper winner for Oliver Greenall (highly tried on final start in that sphere); respectable second in novice hurdle at Stratford (2m, good) on debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies; leading player. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

30th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat but 0-6 over hurdles; ran well when fifth on return to this sphere at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but was below that form on his latest outing and his stamina heads into unknown territory here; others preferred. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-39 but was runner-up at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and ran well for a long way from the front at Market Rasen last month before fading into fourth; enters calculations on the strength of his earlier effort. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Returned from break with low-key chase run last month and fell mid-race when back over hurdles nine days ago but remains on a good mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground; can't be ruled out. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Three-time Flat winner in France; has not transferred that ability to hurdles (2m) for current stable and needs improvement for this new trip on second handicap attempt. |

27th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

3-6 on the Flat when trained in France; began British hurdling career with three underwhelming runs in September/October (all 2m, good) but has since had a wind op and now makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark; improvement possible. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Unraced on worse than good to soft; made rules debut in only July and has some modest form, including when he showed he stays 3m1f on handicap debut on penultimate start; needs to improve, though. |
20/1 |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who was a fair fifth of seven at Plumpton on recent handicap debut (3m1f, good to soft; unraced on softer); 2lb lower here but he needs to find something extra if he's to threaten. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
14th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Has looked quite limited so far and he was no better for stepping up to 2m7f in a Worcester maiden last month; handicaps should at least present better opportunities for him. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |

Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front-runner with 5-9 strike-rate over fences; unable to justify favouritism but still ran well before weakening into third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, and could be hard to catch here if that run has brought him on. |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |

Front-runner who is 5-8 over fences and he found more progress when runner-up in the Durham National (3m5f, good) in October; this is a different test on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and was successful over 2m4f last spring; has worn a hood in all of his chase runs but the headgear is missing today. |

Placed in two bumpers in 2020-21 season but refused to race in two maiden hurdles last winter and spoiled his chance by racing far too freely in first-time blinkers (now removed) on latest outing in April; has hood refitted here; too risky. |
