25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat for the Chester Cup (2m2f) in May; respectable efforts off 8lb higher when sixth of 20 in the Ascot Stakes and Northumberland Plate in June; freshened up since; needs improvement to win at this level. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat for the Chester Cup (2m2f) in May; sixth off this 8lb higher mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f) was right up with that form and he's a player if this AW surface (sole race on one was as 2yo, finished last) proves suitable. |

6th 7 (18) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat in 15-runner Chester Cup (2m2f, good) over five weeks ago, never far away before strength of stamina took him to the front inside the final 1f; below-form outsider last April/June on his only two starts on good to firm (one at this meeting); up 8lb since Chester but may well be capable of another advance if the ground is okay. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at about 2m3f at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) and the combination of a deep race and the drop back to 2m found him out at Aintree; better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |
10/1 |
|
11th 9 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
On a hat-trick after 2m3f wins at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) under Charlie Maggs last month but the fact he failed to win at around 2m on his first ten starts in Britain hardly boosts confidence in him for this drop back in trip. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
It was a Class 4 he won at Haydock (good to soft; raced prominently) but that was his first time over this far since arriving from France and he's a willing partner; Charlie Maggs rides again off a 5lb higher mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024 but has been unable to get his head in front since; his mark continues to drop and cheekpieces are back on replacing a visor; best watched. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
2-15 over hurdles; winless this campaign but it started quite well and the third at Sandown in December was in a first-time visor that now returns having been missing the last twice; on a fair mark if factoring in Murray Dodd's claim; could stage a revival. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two juvenile hurdles for Anthony Charlton last season but largely disappointing in handicaps for new stable this term, albeit not running badly when fifth at Taunton (2m, good) this month; needs to up his game. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a losing run but was perhaps ridden too aggressively (in a visor) when pulled up in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle in January; yard is going really well so this C&D winner could bounce back off a reduced mark with headgear now dispensed with. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; didn't run too badly in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) but may have been flattered by how that race panned out (soon led); others perhaps safer. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when winning by 6l over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers in April; obvious contender if judged on that evidence but ran a lacklustre race at Aintree last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the right mood in first-time visor today. |

|
8th 6 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) and subsequent defeats have come in better races than this; didn't run at all badly in the latest at Kelso (2m5f); back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Opening mark looked harsh but she's tumbled down the weights; hasn't been able to capitalise on that, however, and was tailed off on her chase debut at Wetherby (about 2m3f, soft) in December; drop in trip and return to hurdles might help but she's risky. |
16/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Third of six in Grade 3 for 3yo fillies in France in May 2024; however, unable to tap into that promise in Britain subsequently and now 0-12; makes handicap debut and others have more compelling claims. |
15/2 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made the frame in a Grade 3 fillies' hurdle in France last spring (2m1f, very soft) but last season's British form was underwhelming (albeit she was placed twice), and she suffered a heavy defeat in February on latest outing; not an easy one to predict here. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Three hurdle wins at around 2m; has been running well in defeat this summer (2m-2m4f), mostly in a hood but in no headgear last time; cheekpieces now added; others are more compelling. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Three hurdle wins at around 2m; seemed to need his run in May and then rallied to threaten an unexposed winner at Worcester (2m4f, good); that was a solid effort and he's only 1lb higher. |

2nd 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has three wins over hurdles at around 2m; may have needed the run on his first start since January when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) last month and this step up in trip should suit. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
