4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |

Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

Ten-race maiden whose best form has been at 2m and he was tailed off when raised to 2m4f at Southwell (good) only recently; now goes in cheekpieces. |

0-7 over hurdles and absent since a poor performance in January but his second of 13 here (2m, good) in November was a good effort and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has yet to win and placed again on her first run for this yard in a 2m maiden at Worcester 18 days ago; still appeals as a likely contender and she has been competitive off this sort of mark. |
9/4 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame on five of her eight hurdling starts for Alex Hales, most recently when second of seven in Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) in May; soundly beaten on final two outings for that stable and not sure to be favoured by the forecast rain here but has good claims if back on song for new trainer Olly Murphy. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |
100/30 |
|
8th 3 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who rewarded good market support and showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by 10l here (2m5f, good to soft) in March; 8lb rise asks a fair bit of him but the forecast faster ground should not be a problem. |
5/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four Flat wins and three over hurdles; has yet to win this season over jumps but two of his three placed efforts came here and he's likely to be a strong contender, for all that last two runs (hurdle/AW) weren't his best. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
From a successful family for this stable but she's yet to really shine in five starts over hurdles, although her latest run in November (2m, good) when returning from a break was more encouraging (second run in handicaps); another absence to overcome but she has each-way claims if building on that. |

From a successful family for this stable and put up her best effort over hurdles when fourth of seven over C&D (soft) in May; didn't build on it on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) the following month and has something to prove after 158 days off. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 0-30 but she's been placed with cheekpieces added in last two starts and was a well-backed favourite when third at Hereford (2m3f, good) on Monday; should go well again off unchanged mark and she's in the mix. |
11/2 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Returned from break with good second over C&D (good) in May but her subsequent record is very mixed and she's now 0-20 over hurdles; tried in new cheekpieces today; would probably prefer the rain to stay away. |

Unplaced all five hurdling starts; arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth of 16 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last month but subsequent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Hardly brings compelling form claims and heavy ground wasn't an obvious excuse when a remote fourth at Hereford on chase debut (2m5f); essentially disappointing given the promise of his point runs. |
5/1 |

4th 8 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Solid effort when runner-up in his second Irish point (3m, heavy) in 2024 but he couldn't land a gamble when beaten 40l in a Lingfield handicap hurdle (2m7f, soft) just under a year ago; two starts over hurdles this term have been poor but needs monitoring in the market on this chase debut under rules. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up in a point but has form figures of 0989F over hurdles and those last two runs have been at big prices in handicaps (2m/2m3f); has stamina on his dam's side but he needs to show a lot more on this switch to a staying trip. |

Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

Won a 1m claimer on soft at Gowran in May 2023; best run over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice for this yard in January (2m, good to soft); not done as well for two different trainers over hurdles and on the Flat since; on a good mark and interesting back with Tony Charlton having had wind surgery. |

Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Little to get excited about in three starts over hurdles last year, but he has won six times on the Flat including this summer; could step forward now switched to a handicap. |
