5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

No more than minor promise over hurdles but this is his first time outside of novice company and is entitled to show more; cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie tried last time; market vibes awaited with interest. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

!6-race maiden; two fair runs at Wetherby in December (2m3f, soft); well beaten since (tried over hurdles last time); no easy task from 5lb out of the handicap. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-14 under rules and 0-2 in points but returned from break with two respectable runs at Wetherby (both 2m3f, soft) in December and should be okay on this right-handed track; could have a say. |

26th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Good enough to win a Group 2 on the Flat in France when owned by Godolphin; went 0-12 over hurdles for two previous yards but he's come good for this one with back-to-back Taunton wins (2m3f, good; 3m/good to soft); raised 20lb for those but something has clicked and deeper ground here will be no hardship. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 |
14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made just a fairly encouraging seasonal/stable debut in October but displayed big jolt of improvement to win easily by 13l here (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; hiked up 13lb for that and has stamina to prove over new trip today but ought to handle the slower ground and commands respect. |

7th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Still in contention before falling at third-last flight over C&D (heavy) in February but was tailed-off 66-1 shot at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month and is now 0-8 over hurdles. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rallying gamely to regain lead on run-in at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last week; has plenty of scope for further progress but the forecast rain is a worry here. |
9/2 |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Fourth in a bumper in October 2022 (2m1f, good); not shown a great deal over hurdles and well beaten after a break at Musselburgh when last seen out in December (tongue-tie on for first time); probably best watched on return from another break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

Won three times last spring (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft; including C&D) and followed a break by returning to winning ways with a career best at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, albeit with half the hurdles omitted; could still have more to offer and she's respected up 4lb. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Made excellent progress when fitted with cheekpieces in the spring, and the second of her three wins was gained over C&D; further improvement is possible if she's fully tuned up after five-month break. |

Well treated on her second in a Down Royal handicap (1m5f, good) in July 2022 but she's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles for her current yard; still relatively lightly raced but she comes with risks attached back in this sphere; tongue-tie added. |

Chequered career since close up in C&D novice as a 3yo but there has been the odd bit of encouragement and the drop in grade paid off when rallying to retake the lead inside the final furlong at Wolverhampton (1m4f; cheekpieces refitted) last month; should go well again. |
