6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All of his five wins have been gained at Plumpton but he's been well held at that track (2m1f/2m4f) in last three runs; now 9lb lower than for his last success but that that was 14 months ago and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All his five victories have been gained here but he arrives under a cloud, last of five in 2m1f handicap chase here last month; yard is back among the winners though so not totally dismissed. |

11st 13lb |
All five wins on this track, over hurdles and fences (good and soft); ran his best race for a while over C&D last month, but soundly beaten when last of four finishers (odds-on) here since; reservations now. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who regularly gives his all and was beaten off only on the run-in when third to Dance And Glance over C&D (good) five weeks ago; should make another bold bid but several of these look less exposed. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who was second over C&D (good) in December and bounced back from being pulled up in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (heavy) to make all in four-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); has a career-high mark in this hotter race but he did it comfortably last time; could make a bold bid. |
8/1 |

1st 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Poached a nice advantage but unable to hold off a progressive rival at Haydock (2m, good; in added cheekpieces) on penultimate start; pulled up in deep in a Premier Handicap at Newbury (50-1) latest; chance back in calmer waters. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |
4/5 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously. |
13/2 |

1st 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who bounced back with 33-1 success from well out of the weights over C&D (good) most recently, taking Ludlow record to 2-4; just no certainty to follow up, having been inconsistent for a while. |
7/2 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in December but this veteran has struggled in five subsequent runs; has lots to prove and he's a long way out of the weights. |

Back with his former trainer for this first start on the Flat since October 2021; no win since the summer of 2017 so not hard to oppose. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

A fair hurdles winner for Claire Harris in 2023 but this veteran mare offered little over hurdles and fences for Kevin Pickard last season; always behind on belated Flat debut at Kempton last month. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |
20/1 |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |
