24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |

3rd 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |
13/2 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
5-19 on AW but 0-15 on the grass after finishing well behind at Thirsk two weeks ago (1m4f, good); he'll be of greater interest when back on the synthetics. |
11/2 |

10th 8 (12) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Started off in handicap hurdles with three good-ground wins for Kevin Philippart de Foy last spring (2m-2m1f) and is back on a good mark now; just a respectable fourth when back over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) three weeks ago but still enters calculations. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
3-9 over hurdles but was tailed off in her final jumps run in November (2m2f, good) and she's been good and bad on the AW since then; C&D winner who is on a realistic mark but she is becoming tough to predict. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Rare Flat runner for her jumps-oriented yard; has been faring respectably in similar company of late, latterly in a Kempton handicap that didn't pan out ideally; one to consider. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival. |
25/1 |
|
2 (7) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't take to hurdling on stable debut at Stratford three weeks ago but she ran some good races on the Flat earlier in the year for Andrew Balding and is not ruled out now back in this code. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four times on the AW but is 0-23 on turf, although has been placed on 12 occasions; decent third at Bath last time (1m6f, good); each-way chance; cheekpieces now tried. |
15/2 |

All four wins on AW at Wolverhampton; 0-22 on turf and beaten 24l on reappearance at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; hard to fancy. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

4 (10) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap here (13-8 favourite) last September but he's finished tailed off in three subsequent runs and latest was at Windsor last month; blinkers are now added and has lots to prove on this drop back to 1m. |
16/1 |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to score on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in September and is also suited by turf but he ended last season with two heavy AW defeats and returns from 163-day break with a point to prove. |

Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not seen on the Flat since hard-fought course win (2m1f, soft) last summer but produced career-best hurdle performance when winning on good ground last month and is evidently in very good nick; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 7 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |
