20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to very progressive rival over C&D (good) last month and remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden; likely contender. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Capable on his day for Jamie Snowden, winning three times; didn't sign off for that yard in bad form but he made a quiet debut for this yard here when 3m1f was no excuse. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Returned to hurdling after a layoff with a narrow win at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November; has had another break since but still looks on a workable mark and has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May, despite some rather sketchy jumping, and returned from a layoff with good hurdle run in January; below form twice since, though (chase/hurdle), and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time winner, the latest at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last May, and she hasn't been running badly this season (good to soft/soft); edging back down the weights and might not be far away. |
5/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won on soft but best form on good to soft or quicker; yard continues in fine form but Either Or had her measure at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month and she has no strong turnaround claims. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who had been running well in both codes until a well-held fifth in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle 39 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |
12/1 |

5th 10 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Generally in much better form last March-October than in his three starts this winter; no impact in his four races beyond 3m2f and the bottom line seems to be that he last won a race in April 2023. |
20/1 |

3rd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chance if bringing his 'A' game but he hasn't on last two outings when tailed off at Fakenham (3m5f) and Fontwell (3m2f; both on soft); risky. |
25/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Running well since the spring, most recently second of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in first-time visor last month; will probably find others too strong in this deeper race, though; usual cheekpieces refitted. |

Won a novice hurdle at Doncaster last March but has struggled to get competitive in handicaps since (five attempts); needs to raise her game. |
