28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Now 20lb lower than when winning over 2m for Chris Gordon just over a year ago but has badly lost her way; huge leap of faith is required to support her. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Strong favourite for a 2m handicap at Hereford in January but was only fifth and off since; that wasn't a bad run, though, and had gone close the time before; won his maiden on good; could have a part to play in first-time tongue-tie. |

Won a Ffos Las maiden on good ground and has performed respectably in both handicaps (soft/good to soft) without looking ahead of his mark; did threaten in the latest at Wincanton and Chad Bament takes away 10lb this time. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
C&D seconds either side of January's Leicester win (1m7f, heavy) speak well of his effectiveness around galloping tracks with at least some give underfoot; drying forecast worries more than latest 1lb rise. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Close second over C&D (good to soft) just after Christmas and went one better at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; up in grade today but latest 3lb rise does not look excessive and he's evidently in good nick. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but has performed well on both outings this season, more recently when a close second at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; likely to be suited by this stiff, right-handed track (gained his win at Sandown) and the soft ground; commands respect. |

Won in France (1m3f, very soft) as a 4yo and twice runner-up in eight starts over hurdles after joining this yard; fourth of eight back on the Flat in a Southwell novice (1m3f, AW) last month (winner has gone in again since) and worth a market check on Flat handicap debut with a tongue-tie given a go. |

10st 13lb |
2-20 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift before weakening into fifth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others in the line-up have more appealing profiles. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Mixed results (5FP4) since switched to chasing but is now only 1lb above last winning hurdles mark and Edward Vaughan takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities, provided he stays returned to 3m. |
7/1 |

4th 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Just ahead of Gris Majeur when falling at third-last fence at Taunton (2m7f, good to firm) in November, his second chase, but struggled on next outing; others in this line-up look much less risky. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-7 but he's reached the frame on all four visits here, going close to shedding his maiden tag on two occasions during 2024 and spring 2025; made an encouraging return from an 11-month absence when second over 2m2f here last month and, nudged up 1lb, remains a strong contender dropped in trip. |

2nd 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't always looked entirely convincing in a finish but he's only raced six times and has twice gone close at this track, in novice and handicap company; danger to all if fitness isn't an issue. |
3/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again. |
8/1 |

1st 4 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Dual hurdle winner including over C&D (good); last success was off a similar mark at Plumpton in February but she's been disappointing in both runs since; hurdle record is now 2-14 and has something to prove after another break. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well to finish a clear fourth in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up but he's not easy to predict and is still a maiden after 21 starts; cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden over hurdles who hasn't done enough to suggest he's about to shed his maiden tag, finishing 17.5l adrift of Little Lady Lucy at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last time; has a bit to find on the revised terms but not ruled out for minor honours. |
10/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

10st 11lb |
Gave good account when fourth at Taunton (2m, good) in December, his second start for Tim Vaughan, but last month's Ffos Las run was a backward step and he's now 0-13 over hurdles; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie added. |

Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |
