24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple 1m4f-2m winner on the Flat; effective in blinkers in that sphere and these aids now return for handicap debut over hurdles after racing lazily when second in a Stratford novice (2m4f); considered. |

Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2lb higher than when narrowly returning to winning form at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that was in a steadily run race, but he has a good record here (4711134) including two wins over this trip; respected. |
9/2 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Shaped quite nicely from off the pace in a Southwell handicap three weeks ago (1m6f); dangerous if he can build on it and he is a C&D winner on a dangerous mark. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (10) |
14th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well backed prior to running out the easy winner of a C&D handicap for amateur riders 18 days ago; enjoyed the run of things there but the handicapper could have taken a dimmer view of the win; fair chance up just 3lb. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

1st 2 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who won this race (good) on her reappearance in 2024 and she ended last season with a 12l win at Ffos Las (2m, heavy; made all); 7lb higher on her return but she still looks on a workable mark and won't mind what the weather does; key player for in-form yard. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over 2m1f on heavy ground last year and went in again at the expense of two rivals on good to firm this summer; nothing wrong with her latest effort in a Class 2 over 1m6f at Bath (soft). |

No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |
16/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf makes any difference in that regard. |
6/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year, but he looks high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |
11/2 |
