19th Mar 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and easily followed up at Hereford (2m, soft); tailed off in Grade 2 at Kempton (2m, good to soft) since but he's a leading contender if bouncing back to his best now back down in grade. |

Showed promise in Ireland and has impressed in winning two minor hurdles at Windsor (good to soft) and Hereford (soft); others in here have superior form but he's unquestionably promising. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful hurdler who was having her first British start over fences when third of four, beaten 10l, at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; her jumping didn't convince that day but maybe returning cheekpieces can help. |
4/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Sole win came in a Huntingdon 2m maiden hurdle in January last year, but she has a string of respectable placed efforts since and wasn't beaten through lack of stamina on her first try beyond 3m latest; appears to be on a tough mark but may improve for going back over fences, having run well in France in March 2024 on her sole previous chase start; handles most ground. |
4/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Consistent sort but she's won just once (a maiden last January) from 13 starts; rallied into a remote second here (good) last time, so perhaps a first attempt beyond that 2m5f will help the cause. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Came good when switched to handicaps in the autumn, winning over 2m at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft), but is yet to make any further progress; flopped badly when warm favourite at Exeter (2m) a fortnight ago and has a point to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m4f under rules. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Kicked off the season with handicap wins at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft); has looked in the grip of the handicapper since but this is a drop in grade, so certainly not dismissed. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and followed up in big field at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; slightly disappointing when favourite at Cheltenham last month but could still have more improvement to come over today's longer trip. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish bumper winner; made underwhelming start to hurdling career last season but kept on strongly to win Stratford handicap (2m2f, good to firm; second run after wind op) this month; upped in grade here but could still have more to offer. |
5/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Irish bumper winner who had yet to reproduce that ability over hurdles until runner-up to a subsequent winner, when upped to around this trip at Warwick last month (back from a break following wind surgery); remains with handicap potential and one to consider. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish bumper winner, unable to reproduce that promise over hurdles and soundly beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham in January, but he returns from a break having had wind surgery and with his trainer in fine form; no surprise to see a bigger performance today. |

10st 7lb |
4-4 in handicaps (soft/good to soft) and strode clear for emphatic wins at Market Rasen and Newbury when stepped up to about 3m on his two runs this season; up another 10lb but he's been seeing out those races in grand style and, after just eight starts, still possesses serious potential. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Strode clear for emphatic success in Pertemps qualifier at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in sole start this term, taking record since handicapping to 3-3; another big hike in the weights reflects his progress, which may well continue; greatly respected back down in grade. |

Best effort in three 2m maidens was his 28l fifth of ten runners behind the smart Regent's Stroll at Newbury in November; could be a very different proposition in this low-grade handicap and a tongue-tie is added. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Very productive on AW this year and also scored over hurdles in the spring; suffered a heavy defeat on most recent attempt in this sphere but remains well treated judged on Flat form. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May on third hurdle start and scored on the Flat at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) four weeks ago; in view of his Flat ability he has potential off this opening hurdle mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Placed in a couple of handicaps earlier this year but beaten 25l and 13l on last two Flat starts; has another change of headgear with blinkers replacing a visor but has plenty to prove. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Fontwell maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in March and was not beaten far when eighth of 22 in Punchestown festival handicap in May; however, his record over hurdles was very mixed and he's a bit of a character (ran out in consecutive races last autumn); had wind op in spring; comes with risk attached on chasing debut. |
