16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went up 10lb for winning comfortably at Fontwell (2m1f, good) and that was a factor in him finishing third in a small field at Fakenham; still lightly raced though and could have more to offer. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Disappointed on handicap debut in the autumn but returned from break with 16l win at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; 10lb higher here but could easily have more to offer. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-9 in points (completed only three times) and has same strike-rate over hurdles; gave a fairly good account when fifth of 15 at Worcester (2m, good) last July but this chasing debut comes after a 314-day absence. |

5th 1 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
No win in nine points and 0-8 over hurdles but has form figures of 34232F24 in this sphere; chased home a handicap blot at Warwick (2m3f, soft) in final start last year and she shaped as though she needed the run there on her return last month; has form over C&D and she could be dangerous back in trip. |

Maiden who is returning from a five-month break but this former pointer ran some good races when switched to rules in the second half of last year and could be thereabouts if at the top of her game. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Still has low mileage and will be suited by today's forecast good ground but, following a long absence, has been pulled up on both outings this year; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7yo; won well on final start for previous yard but has failed to complete in both runs for new stable; big question mark over current form. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
All five starts on good ground; won novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f) in October 2024 for Mel Rowley; beaten when falling at final hurdle on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f) the following month; absent since; a market check is advised on his return but there's a suspicion he's best watched. |

11st 0lb |
Creditable second of 15 at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) just under a year ago but not seen again until a heavy defeat in December, and absent for 160 days since; considered only if lively in betting. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Came good with two wins in November (2m1f/1m7f); returned from break with two low-key runs this spring but remains unexposed over 2m4f and James King is an interesting jockey booking. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect. |

Flat winner for Ralph Beckett in 2023 (1m4f, good); only hurdles win was a Leicester novice handicap (1m7f, heavy) in December 2024; lightly-raced and fair form since; a possible. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
20/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added. |

Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) one week ago; 2-3 under amateur riders and he's run respectably here before; 2lb well in under the penalty and rider Paul Hainey has already impressed this season. |

Inconsistent hurdler who's been off for five months since a poor effort here in the winter; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and it's tough to find any positives. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Started the season with a good 2m4f Uttoxeter fourth but he's been pulled up all three starts since in handicaps from 2m4f to 3m; in top hands but is hard to warm to despite the drop in grade. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Good fourth on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when pulled up on consecutive outings towards end of last year (2m4f/2m6f); tries a new trip here; needs three-month break to have done him good. |
