4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins came on AW in early-2025 when trained by Daragh Bourke; hasn't run to that level since and now with his sixth trainer; best watched at present. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (4) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained his last four wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m-1m2f); handles fast ground but is yet to strike form after three runs this season and might still be too high in the weights. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Loves it here and loves the mud, so this dry spell has done him no favours; probably one for another day. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-44 but has made the frame off higher marks in his last two visits here (1m/7f); record suggests this first start in 103 days may be needed, though. |
14/1 |
|
8th 14 (18) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
One win from 42 starts but he's posted some good placed efforts this year, including when third of ten here over 1m eight days ago; drops back in trip with place claims but he may prove vulnerable from a win perspective. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two of his four wins have been here but he's 4-61 overall and has offered little this year. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; runner-up on two of his three chasing attempts this spring but was no match for the winner at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last time and others in this line-up have more compelling form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |
|
4 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

1-38 and finished behind two of these when fifth of seven in a 0-50 classified event over C&D (good) 12 days ago; others preferred. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Denied a clear run when fourth in first-time visor (retained since) in Bath classified two starts ago; however, he didn't really build on that in a handicap at Chepstow last time and has won just one of his 37 starts. |
12/1 |
|
7 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Looked unlucky not to finish closer to the target when fourth in recent Bath classified (5.7f, good to firm; first-time visor) but has poor strike-rate (1-36) and makes only limited appeal on this handicap return. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Jack Channon; eight-race maiden; fair efforts in turf handicaps on last three starts; cheekpieces now tried for second AW start; a possible. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unplaced all seven starts and finished 5l behind Fascinating Lips at Windsor (11.4f, good) a week ago; look elsewhere. |
50/1 |
|
11 (7) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six-race maiden; not disgraced when midfield at Leicester (1m2f, good) on Wednesday, her first start for 12 weeks, but needs to improve to get a win on the board. |
33/1 |
