27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when leading close home in valuable Summer Hurdle over C&D (good) in July; 6lb higher today but confirmed his wellbeing with a good Flat run last month; probably won't be far away. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |
|
8th 15 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a losing sequence but she really caught the eye when a running-on third of 14 in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; up 2lb but very much one to consider. |
15/8 |

3rd 3 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Kevin Philippart de Foy; formerly a useful performer and was successful at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last April; now 24lb lower than for that win but she's struggled since and has form figures of 9050876 for her current yard; opposable. |

Ex-Kevin Philippart de Foy; formerly a useful performer, winning off 21lb higher mark on turf last April; mainly disappointing since; on a good mark, but plenty to prove now. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |
25/1 |

11th 10 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner during busy summer for James Owen last year but well beaten (over hurdles) on stable debut on Tuesday and returns to the Flat with quite a bit to prove. |
