15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form. |

Temporary switch to front-running over a sharp 3m netted him a Southwell hurdle off this mark in May 2024 (soft), but rather lost in the crowd in big-field chases on only two starts since; tongue tie off. |

19 races for two wins, the latest in January 2025; creditable minor honours on all four starts this season, albeit as favourite on first three occasions; one of those was under Harriet Tucker; stays 3m2f and will probably be thereabouts. |

10st 9lb |
Still a maiden at the age of nine but she reappeared after a long absence with fair third on chase/stable debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; didn't build on that over hurdles (2m6f, heavy) last time but cheekpieces are now added and this return to a right-handed track looks a positive (jumped right on penultimate run); could be dangerous back over fences. |

12st 1lb |
Won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and he finished in the first three in his next five starts; still looks on workable mark but he had a rare blip at Windsor (2m6f, soft) last month and he's never raced at shorter than 2m3f; bit to prove and others are preferred. |

Consistent sort who won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and has been in the first three on all five starts since, most recently runner-up here (2m4f, good); stays this far and versatile ground-wise; each-way player. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |

First-time blinkers did the trick when scoring at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in March and he was short of room at a crucial stage when close third at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; now 8lb higher than for his last win but he's a reliable type who still has potential in this sphere; respected on his return. |

Posted career-best performance when coming from off the pace to score by 6l here (2m6f, soft) in November but returned from break with two lesser efforts last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has a point to prove; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) back on today. |

9yo who is lightly raced for her age and won at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November on second run back from break; not seen to same effect at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) 12 days ago but she's better than that; not ruled out. |

Lightly raced over last couple of years but bounced back to form at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) in November, staying on well to win by 6l; subsequent 6lb rise may not be beyond her if the emphasis is on stamina again. |

Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |

Out of a sister to the stable's top-class chaser Cue Card but hasn't progressed since twice finishing runner-up in 2m5f non-handicaps here last summer; underwent wind surgery before falling at Wincanton when outpaced at the time, though that was on soft ground; tongue-tie tried last time is retained and he might yet turn a corner. |
