28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who posted a resurgent effort in small field at Taunton (2m7f) most recently; form at Newbury features a success over 2m7f in 2023 and placed effort in the Mandarin over 3m2f in 2024; respected off an attractive mark switched to a veterans' contest. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who disappointed on seasonal debut in November (first run after latest of three wind ops) and has now been pulled up on three of his last four appearances; eased in grade today but needs to get career back on track. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Very well in with Petit Tonnerre on their Doncaster clash in January, after which he ran okay in the Grand Annual before a disappointing run at Aintree; this mark isn't beyond him and he returns with his stable ticking along very nicely. |

11st 5lb |
Generally quite progressive over the winter and there shouldn't be much between him and Dr T J Eckleburg on Haydock form (2m, soft) in November; however he couldn't play a part in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham in March and he's been left on the same mark in another warm race. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Ascot specialist who was second there in November off today's mark and he was in contention when unseating five out at Sandown in January; however, good runs were scarce in 2025 and he's been soundly beaten on all four visits here; tenth in this last year; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has lacked consistency since completing a five-timer in 2024; best effort this term when second at Ascot on penultimate start; on last winning mark, so holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form. |

31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Very promising novice hurdler in 2021-22 season but 0-6 over fences since, having been pulled up seven weeks ago on latest outing; switches back to hurdling on a tempting mark but needs to get career back on track. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Three wins over hurdles when trained in the UK and was Grade 3-placed; below that form in four chase starts for this yard and has to stage a revival. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time hurdles winner for Gary Moore; yet to get his head in front in six chase runs; soundly beaten both completed starts for this stable and pulled up on latest at Navan (3m, heavy); leap of faith required to back him here. |
33/1 |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Three hurdle wins in Britain at 2m4f-3m on softish ground; not so effective in three attempts chasing before joining this stable; need to step up now after unplaced runs in a Galway novice event and a handicap at Cork. |
12/1 |
