24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
2-11 over hurdles; built upon satisfactory seasonal debut when creditable second of 14 at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) a fortnight ago and can cope with today's drop back in trip; obvious contender if in similar form again. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive 7yo won a competitive Ascot handicap in December (15.5f, good to soft) and was second in a valuable Windsor handicap next time (2m, soft); posted career-best effort in the County Hurdle last time, keeping on well to win by three lengths (2m1f, soft); has course form after filling the second spot in a festival handicap here last season; enters Grade 1 company now and will need a good fist of improvement again, but he's clearly thriving. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive 7yo who made it 5-11 over hurdles when making all in competitive handicap at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December; backed that up when second of 14 in another valuable handicap at Windsor (2m, soft) in January; likeable but he will need more again. |

Progressive 7yo who made it 5-11 over hurdles when making all in competitive handicap at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; had nearly 3l to spare over the runner-up Hot Fuss and he's respected up 7lb. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Did well for new stable in 2024, winning twice, and runner-up in valuable Southwell handicap (2m, good) on New Year's Day; reverts to hurdling after a pipe-opener on the Flat last month; probably needs to squeeze out even more improvement to land this prize. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive since joining this yard and switched to hurdles, mainly under Paul O'Brien, while his sole Flat run for Harry Derham was a respectable third of 11 at Newbury (1m4f, heavy) last October; market may help on this first start since March but stable's horses don't tend to lack for fitness; should go well. |

Had some fair form for Michael Wigham but well held in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Fakenham this term after a long absence; hard to make a case for in his bid to gain a maiden success. |

Lightly raced maiden who left his previous yard for 3,500gns; at 16-1, he was struggling a long way out on stable debut at Uttoxeter (soft). |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Race-fit off the Flat when a battling winner over a little shorter at Worcester a month ago (visor back on) and looks a good thing to give his running once more off 4lb higher; respected. |
5/4 |

1st 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Easy winner over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) last November and he recorded his fourth Flat win when scoring at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) in April; wasn't beaten far back there 12 days ago and he still has potential for further progress in this sphere; interesting contender back over hurdles. |

6th 1 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over hurdles last November and recorded his first win on the Flat in Britain, at this track (2m1f, good to firm) in April off 4lb lower; good second at Ripon subsequently but finished last of six back there (2m, good) after slipping on the bend on the first circuit last month; swaps a visor for blinkers and may be worth forgiving latest run. |

11st 8lb |
Won when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in December on third handicap start and bounced back from Market Rasen fifth to score at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) in February; up another 6lb but he was strong at the finish last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; key player. |

Winless and modest on the Flat and she offered little fitted with cheekpieces on her first go over hurdles when seventh in 2m Huntingdon novice 12 days ago; others appeal more. |

Placed a few times on the Flat in 2022 (1m1f-1m3f) but returned from absence with two underwhelming runs in low-grade AW handicaps last month and is now 0-17; swaps blinkers for refitted cheekpieces on hurdle debut. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Out of a half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi but showed no significant promise on the Flat (five runs) and can't be recommended on this hurdling debut. |

21st Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Finished last in three maiden/novice races, the last twice over 1m at Newmarket this year, but is sure to appreciate this considerable ease and may benefit from the step up in trip. |
