1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Runs this track well and posted career-best hurdling performance when scoring over C&D (good to firm) a week ago; 7lb penalty gives her a big weight to carry today but, nevertheless, she has strong claims. |
15/8 |
|
1st 3 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ran creditably switched back to hurdles from the Flat last time, taking Stratford record to 1423214; seems weighted to the hilt but holds a solid chance kept to this venue and back up in trip; 1-1 over C&D. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Fakenham (2m, good soft) last October and she's done well back on the Flat this spring including a win on firm ground at Bath (11.6f); her last hurdle win was off 6lb lower but that was a comfortable success and she's in the mix back in this sphere. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles but seemed suited by the new trip when runner-up over C&D (good) in April; should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
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 10 (7) |
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. |

Has lots of form under Henry Main, notably two wins in 2021; three-year losing spell is a big negative but current mark is attractive; not ruled out. |

5th May 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last year in poor form over hurdles and was again well beaten when returned to the Flat in February (1m4f, AW): needs subsequent wind op to have made a massive difference; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

Placed at huge odds in 1m2f Leicester novice last summer but well down the field in first two handicaps (1m3f/1m2f), latterly on seasonal debut three weeks ago; moves up in trip today. |
