10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Has gained both handicap wins in useful contests at Ascot (1m7f/2m3f); something to prove back at Aintree and finished behind some of today's rivals at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) last time. |

12th 9 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Has gained both handicap wins in useful races at Ascot, including latest start when upped to 2m3f (good to soft) and back to best; back on career-high mark but is unexposed at this sort of trip and not necessarily track dependent; has bits of Cheltenham form, including a bumper success. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Folded tamely last time when bidding to land a notable Ascot handicap (1m7f) for the second year running; capable of being involved on best form and has sometimes shaped as if this new trip is worth exploring. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 1lb lower at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in January and is also suited by faster ground but weakened tamely on latest outing and has basically become a shade disappointing; sports first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in his novice season (2m/2m3f, good to soft/good); yet to win a handicap but fair third at Wincanton last time (2m4f, soft); suited by drier ground. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Not in top form in two handicaps (at about 2m) since returning from lengthy absence and wind surgery; this could be more his trip but he has questions to answer now. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away. |
5/2 |

5th 8 |
1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

Seemed in good form over fences before the turn of the year and reportedly suffered an overreach on his return to hurdling at Musselburgh; on a competitive mark. |
12/1 |

5th 2 |
1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |

Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere. |

11st 10lb |
Landed a gamble on stable debut over 2m here and might well have defied the 10lb rise on his return visit had he kept himself closer to the winner; up another 4lb but this longer trip promises to help him. |
4/1 |
|

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Still only a 6yo and, on stable debut, it was quite a gamble he landed when sent off odds-on for a C&D handicap (good to soft) a month ago, winning readily under a confident Sean Bowen; could still be well treated despite the 10lb hike. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |
8/1 |

1st 3 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His sole win was over hurdles 14 months ago but he looked a bit unlucky when runner-up in that sphere at Huntingdon (2m) 24 days ago; now returns to the Flat but conditions should be fine and he needs a close look in the market. |

Course winner in 2024 but she failed to take to fences last season and came in last of seven back in this sphere at Newton Abbot (2m) last month; others are much preferred. |

Close third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in October but she's not taken to fences this winter and has been pulled up in last two starts; bit to prove but she's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and could be a big factor if she can revive; blinkers worn in last two starts are removed. |

Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |

5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who made all in Flat handicaps on Tapeta (1m6f) and turf (2m, heavy) in the second half of last year; ended last season on a low note but he still has scope for further progress and needs watching in market on his return. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who has made all in Flat handicaps this year at Southwell (2m, AW) and Chester (1m6f, heavy); he did it easily last time and, while the form perhaps shouldn't be taken at face value, a 6lb rise isn't overly harsh; could make another bold bid. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |

Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting. |
