28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; found to have bled when well held next time and played up at the start (deemed a non-runner) at Exeter eight days ago; wore tongue-tie on those last three appearances and cheekpieces at Exeter, but has neither today; unexposed handicap debutant. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in November; found to have bled when well held at Doncaster since, which is a concern, but would have obvious claims if back to best with cheekpieces added. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Favourite for two of his three bumpers (good to soft or good), winning the first and on the latest occasion finishing third under a penalty at Chepstow where they didn't go much of a gallop; others in here have superior form but he's a likely improver over hurdles. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles and now 2-2 over fences, the latter win gained at Sandown (3m, soft) in March; withdrawn three times since then with good ground deemed unsuitable but his first two wins (one over hurdles) were gained on good; probably still has more improvement to come; must be considered. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
2m7f winner at Market Rasen in March for previous yard and not disgraced at Plumpton on stable debut last time; had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied; interesting, with a bigger effort plausible. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |
9/2 |
|
6th 7 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
French-bred 5yo; outpaced in closing stages of tactical race at Taunton (good to soft) in November but still displayed significant promise there (finished fourth); likely to make his presence felt here. |
3/1 |
|
4th 2 |
28th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
90,000euros 3yo out of a dam who was placed over fences in France; of obvious interest for his leading yard. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-10 but she ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in March and rallied for a respectable fifth at Taunton (good) three weeks ago on her first crack at 3m; shaped last time as though today's extra yardage could be in her favour and she might be in the mix. |

5th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but she's a reliable sort, runner-up at Hereford (2m4f, good) last time, and looks worth a crack at this sort of trip. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Course regular who was mostly in good form last year and last month's reappearance run at Exeter looked too bad to be true; hard to dismiss, especially back here. |
6/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Two-time winner over a similar trip at Newton Abbot (both good); was competitive from this mark on his last two starts at that track (both 2m5f) and should be involved if straight enough after a six-month break. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 10 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner this season; rebounded from two lesser efforts when close third of five (just behind Striking A Pose) over C&D (good) last month but has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 10y |

Ordinary form over jumps in Britain and two Flat runs have offered nothing. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Distant third at Worcester (2m, good) in September probably the best of her qualifying runs; no impact when 33-1 for a Hereford handicap in October and came down at the first when back in maiden company a fortnight ago; it's still relatively early days but others are far more solid. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-2 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles, and her third was remote; has no form claims. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest form so far; was a bit keen when beaten 20l last time and has further to go on this handicap debut, so will need to settle better. |
14/1 |
