28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

Quirky and sometimes blows the start; on a reduced mark and retains some ability but he is not the obvious solution to this puzzle. |

Quirky and sometimes blows the start; well handicapped judged on lots of 2024 form over 1m4f-2m, but he's seldom sparked in the same way since. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up. |
20/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |
8/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Lurks on a dangerous mark and his defeat on heavy ground a fortnight ago is not viewed harshly but he's largely been disappointing this season and has stamina to prove over this new trip. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Switched to hurdles for new yard last May-September and won four of his six starts (all on good ground), two of them over C&D (one a handicap); held in fourth of six at Plumpton last September when last seen but retains potential; yard among the winners and he could go well back from a break. |
9/2 |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who has won a handicap over hurdles (off 8lb lower) and has since made it 4-5 in this discipline when defying penalties in a 2m1f good-ground novice at Newton Abbot; he was entitled to win that and probably with greater ease than he did, but he's a likeable type. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat stayer who is 3-4 over hurdles and comfortably won a small-field handicap over C&D last month; penalised accordingly but he has the best form by some margin; the glaring concern would be should the ground go soft. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won against his own age-group here (2m, soft; also suited by good) in December and has finished close up on all three outings since (1m7f-2m); must be considered on this first attempt at 2m4f. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent for a while now and, although beaten off this mark on his last two starts, it was a pretty good handicap in which he went down narrowly at Newbury the last time (2m, good to soft); thereabouts if gelling with Jude Fernandes. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who battled well to pip Don Virginia in small field at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-4 over hurdles; ought to run his race again but others have more compelling form. |
12/1 |
|

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner who scored on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and came second on both subsequent hurdling starts (2m5f/2m; form well advertised by the two winners since); not at best when back on the Flat last month but a major player. |
6/4 |
|
6 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won two handicaps (1m6f/2m) on the Flat last season and he's done well switched to hurdling for new yard since May including a win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good); still has potential as a stayer on the Flat and he's in the mix back in this sphere. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark. |
8/1 |

5th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Overall strike-rate of 6-20 and a four-time winner on the AW; finished behind Cello last time despite having the run of things but he's likeably reliable and should give backers a run for their money. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time Flat winner; got off the mark over hurdles on his sixth attempt when making all over C&D (good) 15 days ago with first-time blinkers (retained) replacing cheekpieces; has solid claims to defy penalty. |
8/13 |
|
1st 4 |
6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time Flat winner who was placed on the last four of his five hurdling starts, most recently when close second in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month; should be fine over today's shorter trip and has another big role to play; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

On a losing run and he was tried in blinkers when a below-par seventh of ten in 1m6f handicap at Goodwood 30 days ago; others appeal more. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6th 3 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Two wins here including over this trip, but he ran very poorly on his return from four months off at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a fortnight ago, especially as he proven fresh; visor returns. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stretches back to May 2023 (hurdles); ended 2025 with some modest efforts for James Owen and fared little better when fifth of seven on his stable debut 11 weeks ago (2m, Polytrack); enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Five wins (Flat and hurdles) when trained in Ireland; mixed bag for James Owen when last seen; not on a bad mark if a change of scenery piques his interest. |
