18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; all three wins have been on turf and he returned to form after a break with a near-miss at Haydock (10.4f) last month; up 3lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and is a big player if he can back that up. |

2nd 9 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Three wins, two on soft ground, as a 3yo and he is now 9lb lower than for the latest; generally struggled last year though, before and after wind surgery, and he has too much to prove for comfort. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-9 over C&D including landing this race three years ago, but his starts have increasingly become a problem, flatly refusing to do so here in October; too risky. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |
40/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Last four wins were over C&D, including on heavy last September and good to soft in same race this year; ran respectably off this 5lb higher mark (career high) at York latest; increasing tendency to blow the start is a major worry but C&D record puts him high on the list; also declared at Doncaster. |

A fair 1m4f scorer for Hughie Morrison who showed winning hurdling form over the winter for her current yard; not out of things back in this sphere with a visor added. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far. |

Five-time Flat winner (including on good ground) who won at Hexham (2m, heavy) in December on second hurdle start; 6l second of 14 behind improving winner on handicap hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month and could still be capable of better in this code in view of her Flat form. |

Peak efforts have been on soft or heavy ground, including two wins as 3yo and a creditable place last June when last seen (1m3f; not proven over this far); only eight races in total and he could still have more to give, but substantial rain may be needed; withdrawn twice recently when it didn't arrive. |

10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |

Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |

Won once as 2yo and his two best results last term also came on soft or heavy; unraced beyond 1m (has stamina on the dam's side) until his never-dangerous sixth of 15 behind a stablemate at Newbury (1m2f, soft) on last month's stable debut, when below form but he could build on that. |

15-race maiden but down in the weights and he made a pleasing start for his new trainer when third of 12 on last month's stable debut at Kempton (1m), keeping on well having been last turning for home; no problem with the longer trip and he can't be ruled out. |

Still a maiden but ran encouragingly (close third) over 1m at Ffos Las on penultimate start and is unexposed at this trip; campaigned mostly over middle distances otherwise. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has raced over 1m2f+ since his debut, coming closest to a first win when involved in a tight finish for a Doncaster novice last August; rather mixed in handicaps but it was a respectable effort when dropped back to 1m and third of seven in a returning visor at Ffos Las (good) one month ago; probably thereabouts. |
