27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Front-runner who won when back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good) in July, then finished second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) before getting back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m4f, soft); Chester brings out the best in him but no surprise to see a bold bid on his first visit here. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual-purpose 8yo; runner-up in a division of this last year (on good to soft) under Jonathan Burke and a C&D winner in July (good; 1lb lower); readily outpointed when second at Brighton last month but remains in good form. |

Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here. |

Four-time hurdle winner on slow ground, including over C&D (raced prominently in first-time visor) in April; below par at Ffos Las (2m, good) latest, after a 5lb rise; each-way claims if he can bounce back. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 2m handicap here in February; the winner and third there have both gone in since, so he's a player off an unchanged mark. |
11/4 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-16, but C&D second on October's return from two years out took course record to 322; longer trip excuses flop next time, but Windsor disappointment latest is trickier to forgive, unless he simply doesn't act on that day's good ground any longer; as likely to revive here as anywhere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since September 2023 and untested on ground slower than good to soft but has a largely consistent record (albeit 0-9) over hurdles; returns on a good mark and with Sean Bowen booked; market reference recommended. |

Six hurdle wins (one over C&D) in his time and he might have just needed last month's run after his winter break; has a workable mark and is one to consider. |

12th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Formerly a useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland but has plummeted down the weights and been very disappointing for new stable this year; sports refitted tongue-tie and cheekpieces today; needs to stop the rot. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Signs of retaining ability, while seeming to need the run, at Ludlow (3m) this month on stable/seasonal debut and second chase attempt; may step up on that effort; nicely handicapped on best hurdles form. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Pulled up in June 2023 on sole chase start and absent since that November; however, he's on a handy mark on his best hurdle form for Peter Bowen and he's one to watch in the betting on his stable debut. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for Tom Lacey in early part of last season, winning three times over hurdles, and reappeared with fairly encouraging chase debut in May; failed to build on that when well-held fourth over C&D last month but still enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |
