2nd 2 |
4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

3rd 9 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who is versatile ground-wise; well handicapped on best form last season but he was out of sorts in the autumn and needs a major revival after six months off. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 9lb |
Three handicap wins (one on soft) at 1m2f, the latest in July 2024; 11lb lower today but he's basically gone off the boil this season. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
A fairly useful 2m3f hurdles winner in May, 2022, who has been in excellent form since returning on the Flat this summer, bagging a third win at Chelmsford (1m6f) nine days ago; he's not taken lightly back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning a slowly run race at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) ten days later; good second at Brighton (1m4f) on Tuesday; well handicapped under a penalty if he can keep up the good work after just a two-day break. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Mostly hurdling since trained in Britain but he's returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning on AW (1m4f) on second run back and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last week; a big rise looms so his claims are very obvious with no penalty. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles and nothing wrong with his most recent efforts in handicaps at top tracks; every chance provided he's straight enough after a lengthy break. |
5/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Fair Flat racer who was 3-6 during first season over hurdles, the last two wins gained from the front in handicaps (2m/2m1f); well beaten when upped in grade at Cheltenham in April and absent since but may still have more to offer. |
13/2 |
|
15th 13 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Raised in grade after dominating single-figure fields at Ludlow (good to soft) and Fontwell (good), making most on both occasions; a collective rise of 17lb (Freddie Keighley claimed the 10lb last time) could spell danger but hard to dismiss. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |
20/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |
7/2 |
|
9 (11) |
4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Won on Jersey and Chepstow (both 1m2f, good) under Brodie Hampson earlier in the year, but finished behind three of these at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back from that. |
7/1 |
|
4 (5) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Won in Jersey in April and followed up with a last-gasp verdict at Chepstow (1m2f, good); just 2lb higher here. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Back on the mainland after game win under Brodie Hampson in Jersey (1m2f, good) in April; this race is almost certainly stronger but he's still on a workable mark and probably won't be far away; cheekpieces refitted. |
5/2 |
