29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 2lb |
Lightly-raced novice landed odds in 2m4f Gowran beginners' in February and fine effort for one so inexperienced when fourth of 18 in 2m5f Jack Richards Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham on much better ground; more scope for improvement than most of these. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Came up well short in the 2m5f handicap hurdle at this meeting last year but may fare better in this return visit as he's still unexposed over fences and has a solid record since switched to this sphere; comfortably justified favouritism at Gowran Park (2m3f) most recently, producing a career-best RPR; peaking at the right time. |

One of three for stable; 4-13 over hurdles and rated 136; a close third in a Sandown handicap hurdle in April (2m4f, good) on his final start last season; went close when stable's second string on chasing debut at Naas, with stablemate Funiculi Funicula 2l away in third; definite chance again despite Townend's vote of confidence in the other direction. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Headstrong front-runner who gained two of her five hurdling wins over C&D and is well suited by good ground; absent since her very respectable third in Listed grade at Wetherby (2m, good) in November but has won when fresh before and has a big role to play here if fully tuned up. |

Headstrong front-runner who won a handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in June and was a good second in a handicap at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in September; however, she was only sixth of eight in a Listed race at Kempton (2m, good) a fortnight ago and looks vulnerable once more. |

Showed signs of ability in three bumpers, including her debut fourth at Warwick (2m, good) and her fifth at Market Rasen last month; yard is in decent form and she needs watching in market on this switch to hurdling. |

0-7 over hurdles; placed off 1lb higher at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in May but made low-key reappearance in recent C&D event won by Top Cloud; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces today; riding arrangements suggest Samatian is the stable's main hope. |

Hurdles winner here in 2023; well held in two chases this autumn but reverted to hurdling with a win at Southwell (2m4f) in November, travelling best before asserting close home; off since and 6lb higher today, and he's unraced beyond 2m5f under rules, but keeping away from soft ground is seemingly a help. |

Narrowly denied in a maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April only to disappoint in a novice next time when tried in cheekpieces; tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut here and has the ability to cope with this mark; more interesting than most of these. |

Improving with experience and only just denied at Warwick (2m3f, good) on latest start three months ago; repeat of that gives him major claims and he handled soft ground on previous start; cheekpieces go on. |

In the frame all four hurdling starts, the last twice in good-ground handicaps this spring (2m2f/2m6f); drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; might still have a bigger run in him. |

Made underwhelming stable/hurdle debut when well-held third in a seller in January, but last month's keeping-on second at Chepstow (2m, good) was much better and he's open to further progress in handicaps. |

Bettered inauspicious handicap debut and arguably ran a fair bit better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, having made a forward move from the rear on the final circuit; drops back in trip here; interesting. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Absent since pulled up over hurdles for Matt Sheppard last summer (wore cheekpieces) but was unlucky not to win a chase for him at Chepstow (2m, good) just under a year ago, and he's now 5lb below that mark; will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting before this stable debut; usual hood refitted. |

In front when falling at the last over fences at Chepstow (2m, good) in April, but was pulled up in his next two starts and well beaten back over hurdles at Bangor (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; cheekpieces given a go but has plenty to prove. |
