18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson; just 1-10 over hurdles and has struggled with consistency but he ran well to finish third at Hereford (3m2f; first-time blinkers) last month; ties in with Dwight K Schrute on that form and has claims if he can back that up. |

Ex-Nicky Henderson inmate who struggles with consistency; disappointing in his two runs for this yard but he's on a good mark should blinkers trigger something (he ran one good race when cheekpieces were tried). |

Proved unable to sustain early progress for previous yard but ran creditably over C&D last spring; dropped away on stable/seasonal debut, perhaps needing the run; check the market signals. |

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. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
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. |

Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |

Promising start to handicap career when fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January where he would have finished closer but for being hampered at the last; looked to be crying out for a stiffer test when outpaced on good ground at Fakenham (2m4f) latest; respected upped to 2m7f. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Ended last season with an account-opening win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); didn't live up to market expectations on Fakenham reappearance last month but may have needed that run and she still has low mileage; in the mix with tongue-tie added. |

Made all to win two chase (3m; good to soft and heavy) last winter but he's flopped in his last two starts and latest was at this track in November; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to get back on track after another break. |

10st 7lb |
Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Good fourth over C&D (soft) in November and outstayed next-time-out winner Jalisco Star when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; still on workable mark after latest 2lb rise; likely contender again. |

Took a hiding at the weights for Newbury win (2m4f, heavy) last March; he's run to a similar level in defeat twice since but was pulled up at Fontwell in February and 3m2f may be further than he wants to go. |

Soundly beaten in three slow-ground novice/maiden hurdles towards end of last year but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut, and his French Flat win on good to firm in 2022 offers hope the less testing conditions will enable improvement. |

Hurdles win in 2024 came at Listowel (2m, soft) off 91; returned there in September for a staying-on third in same event (following 141-day absence); 6-4 favourite for handicap chase at Killarney when last seen, falling at three out when going okay; lightly raced and could go well. |

Yard's runners often go well here and last year's winner is back to defend his crown off 8lb higher; that success came after a similar break so his lack of a recent run isn't a concern but he has to prove this mark isn't beyond him. |
