10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Two juvenile hurdle wins last winter; reappeared with a good third of 11 in handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) in December and bounced back quickly from a lesser effort at Windsor when chasing home the reopposing Rubber Ball at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February. |

2-4 in juvenile hurdles (including a win on soft) and reappeared with a good third of 11 in handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) in December; claimer ridden when disappointing at Windsor six weeks ago but could bounce back. |

2-4 in juvenile hurdles last season (including a win on soft) and he reappeared with a close third of 11 in a handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) last month; open to improvement and has an each-way shout up 2lb. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won Flat maiden in Ireland in September and has taken very well to hurdling for new stable, despite a tendency to race too freely; justified favouritism in fillies' Listed race at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January and could have more to offer if subsequent wind op has made a difference. |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 0-6 on Flat and 0-6 over hurdles; far from solid on his handicap form; returns to this code for the first time since July 2024. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-6 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; modest effort over C&D in sole outing this term (stable debut, 50-1 shot); perhaps best watched unless the market signals prove stronger. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A fair maiden on the Flat for Hugo Palmer but he was headstrong and failed to go on in four runs over hurdles for Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero in the spring; could still do better for his new handler after a layoff though. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |
16/1 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Seems to have learned to settle better on recent outings and kept on well for close fourth (just behind Willie Shake Hands) over C&D (good to soft) last month; slightly disappointing at Ayr since but still considered. |

Remains winless but he posted a good fourth of 13 in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle 22 days ago given he was set plenty to do; this keen-going sort can't be discounted off the same mark. |

Hasn't shown anything over hurdles in her last three races and Flat form is none too inspiring, including four handicaps at up to 1m2f. |

10st 11lb |
Out of a Listed Flat winner but was beaten about 30l in two good-ground bumpers last month and needs to take a big step forward on this hurdling debut. |
