12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect. |

3rd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made a sound return to hurdles after four months off when fourth of nine over 2m7f at Market Rasen six weeks ago, fading only from the last under a positive ride; remains unexposed as a stayer in this sphere (quite useful over 2m on the Flat); considered. |
8/1 |

4th 1 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Useful stayer on the Flat, but mixed form under both codes after an impressive hurdles debut at Doncaster (2m1f, good) at the end of 2024; not seen in four months but has a fine record fresh and remains unexposed in this sphere. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |
6/4 |

1st 1 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row in December/January (1m7f-2m, good-good to soft), following a wind op; recent efforts suggest he's still in good form and likely to give this a good shot. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten 32l on his chase debut in October but subsequent wind surgery sent him on a roll, a win over C&D (good to soft) in December triggering a hat-trick; nothing wrong with his third of six at Sedgefield last time and he may still be capable of better. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Useful over hurdles and even better over fences; found a bit more improvement when coming from behind to beat Be Aware 1l in three-runner Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft; handles good) in January; well beaten next time in 2m4f handicap at the Cheltenham Festival, lack of stamina probably a factor; this drop back in trip looks a plus and he wears cheekpieces for the first time (has won when hooded); not ruled out. |
12/1 |

17th 3 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins at up to 2m1f last season but he was the last to finish in the Martin Pipe here (about 2m4f) last March; has proved his worth in small-field chases since, winning two from four starts, over 2m3f (good) and 2m (soft); he can raise his game further but a strongly run race on a track with a steep uphill finish raises a question. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a handicap at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on chase debut and has continued in good form in Grade 2 chases on next two starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping as though this drop back in trip is well worth a go; could have a big part to play. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-8 over hurdles but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April, and returned from a break with a fairly encouraging run three weeks ago; can go well off current mark if that recent outing brought him on. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

0-8 but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April and he ran well prior to fading late on there (2m3f, good) in May when last seen; not ruled out now back down in trip. |

Beaten about 25l in first two handicaps but seemed to be moving into contention before stumbling and falling just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month; must be considered after that improvement. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Yet to win in eight runs over hurdles, but third over 2m1f here (good to soft) and over 2m3f at Doncaster (soft) and Catterick (good to soft; first two have both won since) on last three starts; chance. |

10st 3lb |
Made it 0-9 when no match for the front two at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last time but the runner-up has won since and this lightly raced 6yo is unexposed at today's trip; could be in the shake-up. |

Placed in points but yet to make the frame in six starts under rules, a well-held sixth in 3m handicap chase at Bangor last month; easy to look elsewhere. |

Failed to build on a mildly encouraging hurdle debut and his first handicap was over fences when tailed off at Ludlow (2m4f) in late 2024; plenty of risks involved after his long absence with a hood now fitted. |

Faded into fifth on last month's handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft), but that run was arguably a bit better than his eventual 15l defeat might suggest and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Came good under rules at Huntingdon (2m3f, heavy) in February, her second handicap; found one just too strong when odds-on to follow up at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) last month but was given a wind op soon afterwards and now moves up in trip; probably still has potential. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Stable debut at Leicester in January landed her amateur rider in hot water, but she made no mistake under Sean Bowen at Huntingdon (2m4f, heavy) last month; up 8lb and it remains to be seen if testing ground is important to her, but she remains unexposed; should be hard to beat. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner; picked up for £15,000 in October after heavy defeats in non-handicaps for previous yard; favourite for stable debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) after an absence but never got involved for a jockey having her first ride under rules; plenty to find with After Many Days on that run but Sean Bowen now takes over. |
