Won at Goodwood (1m4f) in May and has run creditably on three of her four starts since; apparently no ground worries and she has place claims. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |
11/4 |

6th 15 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

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 |

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. |

A fair 1m6f Flat winner; built on his hurdling debut seventh when third of four in 2m Doncaster novice 27 days ago but this demands considerably more. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who battled well to pip Don Virginia in small field at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; ought to run his race again but others have more compelling form. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner who scored on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and came second on both subsequent hurdling starts (2m5f/2m; form well advertised by the two winners since); not at best when back on the Flat last month but a major player. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent off 2lb lower at Wetherby in May; form dipped at Ayr last time and he is now conceding weight to several 3yos who are much less exposed; opposed. |
