4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won this race in 2025 (good ground) and returned to form towards end of last season, latterly when second to recent big-race winner Havaila in Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good); high on the list. |

2nd 7 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won two in a row last May (3m5f/3m3f, good) and returned to form to win at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month following a break; this 9yo has never defied a mark this high but it may be within range if he's once more at the top of his game. |

Standard-bearer for his yard; mixed bag in class 3s since the autumn, but back down to his last winning mark of May 2025 and zero stamina concerns; ground coming right again (all wins on good or good to soft). |

11st 11lb |
Loaded with experience in strong handicaps; won last year's Sussex Champion and, returning to Plumpton off a 13lb higher mark for the same race 20 days ago, he ran another cracker in forcing the pace before left behind by two Willie Mullins raiders; Haydock will suit his style provided he doesn't get too competitive too far out; shortlisted. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
3m6f for the NH Chase at Cheltenham last March was his only attempt beyond 3m and he was below form; that was also his last run for Venetia Williams (bought for £220,000 in October at the David Maxwell dispersal) and he's been a good third this winter in 3m handicaps here and at Ascot; needs to build on that, as he's edging up the weights, but he's not fully exposed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Bought for £220,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal prior to running well, only 2l behind Welcom To Cartries, at Sandown (3m, good to soft) on debut for new connections; this second-season chaser likely has further progress in him; sole attempt at Ascot resulted in a success in this race 12 months ago (good ground); big player back here. |
4/1 |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Ridden by his owner; major progress when switched to chasing this winter for small-field handicap wins over 3m at Taunton (good to soft) and Ascot (good); found his revised mark at Sandown (3m, heavy) a bit too much in hat-trick bid but again ran well and staying beyond 3m may be possible. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Easy win at Wincanton (3m2f, heavy) in January and bounced back from Haydock flop to win at Exeter (3m6f, good) recently, despite a bad mistake; clearly on the up and his stable has won two of the last six runnings. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Tended to jump left on last two outings but that didn't stop him beating recent Midlands Grand National winner Isaac Des Obeaux by 21l at right-handed Wincanton (3m2f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) on first occasion; pulled up in valuable Haydock marathon since but will be fine on the forecast good ground here and is a contender if back on song. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Running well in defeat this season, including over an extended 3m4f, before producing a career-best in a first-time tongue-tie to win easily at Wincanton (extended 3m2f, heavy); hit with a 9lb rise but he was impressive last time and could have more to offer in the tongue-tie; respected. |

Runner-up on good to soft last January and March in his two bumpers; needs to brush up on his jumping but his second attempt over hurdles was a step back in the right direction; needs another. |

Point winner; 2-3 in handicap hurdles, most recently winning at Wincanton (2m4f) last Novermber; should make a chaser and looks open to further progress; interesting on reappearance. |

Down the field in sole bumper and well beaten on her three hurdle starts; improvement needed but she's in top hands and goes handicapping off a basement mark; interesting, all the more so if strong in the betting. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

Half-sister to winners including the stable's smart jumper Irish Saint; disappointing in a bumper last March and heavy defeats in her two hurdle races this term; Mullins Bay looks the stable first string. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Half-sister to five winners, notably the stable's smart jumper Irish Saint; didn't live up to market expectations in sole bumper in March and she made a low-key start over hurdles at Exeter (2m2f, good; tailed off) last month; still very early days but she needs a transformation on this switch to slower ground. |

11st 12lb |
On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark. |

Made the frame in two handicaps at Catterick (1m7f/2m3f, good/soft) in January before respectable third in claimer there (1m7f, good); continues to edge down weights and might not be far away; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Modest maiden on the Flat (runner-up twice over 1m4f/1m5f) who accomplished little in his three runs over hurdles (first two were for Polly Gundry); absent 232 days before latest; handicap debut in this sphere comes off a basement mark. |

11st 10lb |
Did not live up to favouritism in a bumper at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in October but his fourth of 13 at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; 15-2) five weeks ago was better form; limitations but has shown enough to suggest he's a player on hurdle debut today and he is well related. |

15-8 favourite for a Newton Abbot bumper (2m1f, good) on debut ten weeks ago and shaped well enough in third, albeit never looking like winning in the closing stages; can do better but he will need to. |
