7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Second-season hurdler who is proving consistent; creditable fourth in competitive races won by Dance And Glance and Hot Fuss on last two starts; becoming a little exposed but again seems likely to give his running and is solid in that respect. |
14/1 |
|
4th 14 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Second-season hurdler who was runner-up on first two starts this term (2m1f/2m, good to soft; including here) before close fourth of 15 at Ascot (1m7f, soft) four weeks ago; might not be far away. |

11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner but he was a well-held fifth of nine on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February; still unexposed but he needs to find more progress after 252 days off. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Useful Flat performer and also 2-15 as a hurdler (regularly placed); left Harry Fry for £15,000 and was a 6l third over 1m4f at York on last week's stable debut (no headgear); first-time visored now (effective in tongue-tie/cheekpieces). |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quite useful on the Flat at the start of his career; similar standard over hurdles for Harry Fry in more recent times; sold for £15,000 in July and joined a stable with excels with new recruits. |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
At his best as a hurdler when gaining his second win in this sphere, at Kempton (2m, good) in March; touched off at Ludlow next time but below his best up in trip at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; ridden on four of last five starts by Ciaran O'Shea; back to 2m and needs to return to form. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Improved with experience over hurdles last season and won Lingfield maiden (2m3f, soft) by 9l in February; makes handicap debut after eight-month absence and in a much tougher race; further progress required. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well-held fourth in sole Irish point last spring; same outcome on hurdling debut at Ludlow in December but he found improvement with his rallying third at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; that was an eyecatching effort and he could have a big role to play over this longer trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Last month's keeping-on second at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) came in just a run-of-the-mill handicap and she's now 0-4 over fences but she's unexposed over this sort of trip and may still have a bigger run in her; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft. |

2nd 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winning hurdler; has got closer in each of her three runs over fences, last time beaten 5.5l at Warwick (2m, good to soft); could well have more to offer. |
100/30 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on chasing debut in January and probably didn't achieve a great deal when second of three behind short-odds winner at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; remains lightly raced but needs improvement here. |

11st 12lb |
Won his maiden on soft but is fine on good ground; flattered to finish only 2l off the classy Regent's Stroll last time (2m4f) but that was a fine run and he was clear of the rest; interesting off this mark. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Good-ground bumper runner-up who won here (1m7f, soft) last month on his second hurdle start; Regent's Stroll has much stronger form but this unexposed 6yo is bred to be suited by the step up in trip and is open to further improvement; can give another good account. |

8th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Showed some ability in his two bumpers and two hurdle races but plenty more is needed if he's to make an impact today; perhaps one for longer trips later on; stable also runs Eskimo Sam. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13 over hurdles but was very respectable second when upped to 3m at Ffos Las (heavy) a fortnight ago and might still have a bigger run in him over this sort of trip if the ground is slightly better. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four thirds are the best he's managed from a bumper and 12 hurdle races, including off this mark when five ran over an extended 2m4f at Leicester (heavy) last time; that's the furthest he's been and he may well need a career best to win this; ridden this season by Eleanor Williams. |

Down the field in four runs for Tom Lacey and she returned after long absence with well-held fifth on handicap/stable debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; still early days but she needs improvement on this drop back in trip; hood reapplied. |

Unexposed 5yo who encountered traffic in the straight when close third of 14 on last month's handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie); moves up in trip here and probably still has potential. |

Safely held in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m3f) since quite promising debut in soft-ground Carlisle bumper in December, but represents a top stable and may fare better in handicaps; tongue-tie fitted. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat in Germany and France in his youth; 0-7 over hurdles but he was a creditable second off a reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m5f, good) 17 days ago; would have finished closer if he didn't make mistakes at the last two hurdles and he's a player if he can repeat that form back in trip. |

His first time on fast ground and only his second run in a tongue-tie when narrowly winning on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) where the front two pulled clear; 7lb higher for this and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on his plate; unexposed, though. |
