17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles in Britain with Jamie Snowden at up to 2m5f, also a dual winner over fences; well beaten in Pertemps Final and pulled up (lost right shoe) at Haydock in April final start before bought for 18,000GBP following month; interesting to see if new yard can spark a revival, ground to suit. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences last season and has won twice over hurdles since September; now he's on a recovery mission after very quiet runs at Windsor (2m4f) and at the Cheltenham Festival (3m; again on his favoured good ground). |

10st 8lb |
Won two chases last season and 2-4 back hurdling this term, with all those wins on good ground but he also scored on soft in his novice days; however, tailed off at Windsor on New Year's Day, unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and needs to resume his improvement. |

Made all for a narrow verdict at Warwick in May of last year; neither run since has been quite so good and current wellbeing is an issue. |

11st 2lb |
Ties in with Basilette on latest effort but that rival holds stronger claims kept to Stratford; has never won away from Plumpton and, despite a falling mark, her losing run is mounting up to boot. |
14/1 |

5th 7 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip. |

Sole success over hurdles came in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; has shown bits of form since but was pulled up at Plumpton (2m, good) when last seen; difficult to enthuse over. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender. |

0-11 on the Flat, most recently well held off low-40s marks in 1m classified events; switch to hurdling needs to prove transformative. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
More than 5l too good in a Stratford novice hunter in March (2m5f, soft) despite whacking the last, and no shame since when second at Lower Machen giving the prolific Fumet d'Oudairies 3lb; could argue he's marginally more compelling at sub-3m trips, but among the likeliest even so. |

Dual bumper winner; has won three points, two of them this season; has since finished runner-up to a 1-3 shot in a Leicester hunter chase (2m4f, soft; first two well clear); chance. |

11st 11lb |
Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |

Two wins over hurdles last season (3m/3m2f, good/good to soft); has failed to finish in three of his five starts over fences, best run when second at Taunton in December (2m7f, good); could go well but a bit risky. |

11st 12lb |
Exploited reduced mark under Benjamin Macey at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and last month's heavy-ground third was perfectly respectable; also suited by much quicker surfaces; probably won't be far away. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Back on track off a reduced mark since returning from a break and responded well to Benjamin Macey's urgings to get back up at Wetherby (3m, soft); big run looks on the cards off 4lb higher. |

12st 0lb |
Twice a soft-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; lost his way last season and had slipped to a handy mark and was supported before taking a step back in the right direction at Haydock (3m, good) latest; likely player from the same mark. |

12th foal; closely related to St Leger second The Last Drop and two very useful Flat-racers (one also a useful hurdler), half-brother to two other Flat winners (one very useful); dam fair 7f AW winner; stable has just a fair bumper strike-rate but this newcomer has a striking pedigree. |
