11st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated and he was only eighth at Wincanton last month; however, he had shown spark when third at Taunton in November following a break, and he's not ruled out now back at the scene of his last two wins. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat/hurdles winner who came back from an absence (after a nasty spill at Plumpton) with encouraging third at Salisbury (good; not clear run) in May; didn't build on that at Goodwood (also 1m6f) this month but he travelled well until soft ground likely got the better of him; drops in trip and he's not ruled out. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner under rules who made a fine return from 389 days off when third of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) last month, looking unfortunate not to go closer; good or faster ground may suit ideally, but he handles soft; respected in his bid to make it 4-5 in Class 4 handicaps on the Flat. |
9/2 |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback. |

7th Mar 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Quirky customer who often races lazily; well suited by a slog in the mud and now 11lb lower than when making all at Exeter (2m7f, heavy) 14 months ago but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form for a good while now, including on this month's two runs (latest a rare Flat run) for new stable; it's therefore hard to see him adding to the trainer's recent winners; Divilabother looks a much better chance for the yard but Harry Reed (who rides most of their British runners) is on this one. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but has been out of form over jumps for a good while now, including when last of six on recent stable debut; this will be his first Flat run since a heavy defeat in summer 2023. |
14/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
9-39 hurdles, but no win since quickening clear in a four-runner Class 2 at Kempton (2m5f, good; from 19lb higher) in November 2024; pulled up over fences (bled from nose) on final start for Harriet Dickin nearly four months ago; best watched on stable debut (£6,000 purchase). |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back to form after a second wind op, posting career-best RPRs when scoring at Chepstow in February and when runner-up at Hereford the following month (both at 2m); has his best form over shorter but shapes as though this trip should suit and he commands respect on that recent form. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last year's winner on good ground; bounced back to form after wind surgery to beat four rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) two weeks ago, making virtually all; back up 5lb but has leading claims again. |
6/4 |

1st 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m, good-heavy), but ended that campaign with a poor run and has not been at his best this term (three starts); needs last month's wind op to have made a difference. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Rather lost his way last season after winning at Newbury in October and last week's Fakenham run was an all-time low; tries a visor this time, but blinkers and cheekpieces did nothing for him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Easily won three-runner race at Newbury (2m4f, good) in October but subsequent form last season was underwhelming; well handicapped now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and will probably be okay back at 3m but needs the new cheekpieces to perk him up. |
11/2 |

7th 15 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easily won three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) on reappearance; jumped left when 6l third of four at right-handed Ascot (2m5f, good) next time, and his 13l sixth of nine at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) came in a race that worked out extremely well; heavy going excuses him being tailed off at Warwick and he could go well now back on better ground. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Didn't jump with fluency but took advantage of ease in grade to justify favouritism in a Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start; toiled back in a handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield latest; this is a tough task, even if returning to this shorter trip may suit. |

12th 2 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bounced back from disappointing seasonal debut with clear win in Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago but faces much tougher task on this handicap return and still has something to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |

6th 2 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from layoff with two clearcut wins at Sandown (both 2m, soft) this year but his revival came to an end with a pulled-up effort at Warwick in February; bit to prove after that and he's untried over this far. |
