16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1-8 over hurdles, up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December; with two major backward steps since, a lot seemingly depends on his subsequent wind surgery and today's first tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
8th 9 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who was suited by the step up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on his third handicap start; merely mid-division at Newbury (3m, good to soft) since but not written off in view of the promise shown on his penultimate start. |
8/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened his hurdles account in similar event at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last time; remains unexposed at this sort of distance and bumper form suggests he has the potential to do better still; shortlisted. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Listed bumper here last season; tends to travel too strongly for his own good (races keenly) and can finish weakly, as was the case when a beaten favourite on recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m); however, a first-time hood and the possibility of a solid gallop to chase means he can't be discounted. |
11/4 |
|
14th 4 |
12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
It wasn't a strong Listed race that he won here in November (good; coped with softer in points) but he had loads more in hand than the narrow margin would suggest; turned over since at odds-on at Huntingdon but a blind eye can be turned to that as he was far too gassy off tepid fractions; could be seen in a different light here should they crack on at a solid pace and top trainer has been talking up his chances. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Narrow Uttoxeter winner (soft) who went down by only a neck when penalised on stable debut at Sedgefield (good); tongue-tie now added; this is a big step up from those two venues. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Finished well to record 16-1 success for Paul Collins at Uttoxeter (good) in July; has 7lb penalty to shoulder on this stable debut but still features prominently in calculations. |

9th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |
7/2 |

1st 1 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Displayed ability in four runs over hurdles but was beaten a long way on handicap hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good) in November; down 3lb but with something to prove on the back of that effort; modest form on Flat since, towards rear ten days ago on latest start. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bumper winner and a fair maiden hurdler; 0-6 on the Flat but he was a good third in a Chelmsford handicap (1m6f) in February and the drop to back to 8.6f looked against him at Wolverhampton last time; should get a good tow into this race and he could be dangerous back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Not at his best in competitive handicap hurdles at Sandown in March and Aintree in April, but he'd previously won well at Newbury (2m, good to soft; probably stays 2m4f); began his career in points (1-1) and has a jumps pedigree so there's a reasonable chance he'll make a chaser; respected in first-time headgear. |
3/1 |

14th 5 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with a bang when seeing off the reopposing Melon at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February; has a quick turnaround as an excuse for a lesser effort in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) one week later, while his trainer reported to the stewards that he'll be suited by a flatter track and a quicker surface, both of which he should get today; not dismissed. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Returned to form with a bang when dropped back in trip and a well-backed winner at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last Saturday; now 8lb higher in a much hotter race but he's unexposed at this sort of distance and his stable is in tremendous form; has also won on soft ground; not ruled out. |

11st 12lb |
Ex-Gavin Cromwell; likely needed first run since April 2025 when beaten 28l on British/yard debut; middle leg of subsequent five-timer was a 6l defeat of Practice Run in a Howick intermediate (soft); untried over rules fences, but versatile as regards track and going types. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished well for narrow win in 1m4f classified here last month, opening her account on 15th start under all codes; soundly beaten in Wolverhampton handicap over that trip since but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m on the Flat. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went into her last race a 14-race maiden but she'd shown bits and bobs across both codes and got off the mark, staying on strongly to land Lingfield classified (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; unexposed in this sphere despite her age and could be a leftfield improver; chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and is usually held up at the back; struggled to get competitive at Chepstow in February and now 0-6 over hurdles but interesting if judged on some of his form towards the end of last year; not out of this if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
14/1 |

8th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but his fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November was a good effort, and he caught the eye making a big forward move from the rear before his effort petered out at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; hood removed; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |

First-flight unseat on hurdle debut but showed ability in bumpers and did likewise when fourth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May on his second hurdle start; probably needs a bigger run today but not ruled out. |

Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right. |
