Bumper winner on good and a maiden winner on good to soft; feasible excuses for last two runs on account of ground/trip and now goes chasing with a pointing background; first-time tongue-tie. |

3rd 4 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is 2-3 in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this season, the latter win gained by 18l at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time hood) 11 days ago; faces tougher opposition on this British handicap debut but still commands respect. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising in defeat for Nicky Henderson before a stint in Ireland; has made a positive start for Tom Lacey, winning at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) and running just as well in defeat when penalised here last month (good); has raced freely and now goes in a hood. |
5/4 |

2nd 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had some fair form for Nicky Henderson without success but was unplaced in three outings last summer when trained in Ireland; sold for £19,000 last October and dropped in distance to get off the mark on his stable debut in a Huntingdon maiden (2m, good to firm) last month; incurs a 7lb penalty but should run well. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look. |
7/1 |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
C&D winner in November; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 13 in 1m2f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; can go well again back up in trip with the headgear retained. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left it late when winning a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in November; three lesser runs have followed but he is now 2lb lower than for the win; drops in trip with headgear added. |

10st 13lb |
Immediately better for the return to a stayers' trip and good ground when third on last month's Plumpton handicap debut, albeit looking as if in need of greater respite than the 1lb drop she's received; blinkers added. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Upwardly mobile 6yo; won three handicaps in 2025 and posted another personal best when beaten a head at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month, pulling well clear of the third; strong candidate off just 2lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Progressive 6yo who made it 3-3 in handicaps when keeping on strongly to lead close home on seasonal debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November; fell mid-race last month but remains very much of interest. |
4/1 |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Displayed big jolt of improvement on handicap debut 23 days ago, winning readily over C&D (soft); went up 8lb for that but could still have a lot more to offer; good chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ended last season with a breakthrough win at Taunton (2m3f) but she's offered little this season, a well-held sixth back at Taunton (3m) last month; not easy to make a case for. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Experienced pointer who won a Taunton hurdle race (2m3f, good) off 1lb higher last March; returned to form when fourth over that C&D (heavy) last month but pulled up (reportedly lame) on chase debut four weeks ago; unraced beyond 2m5f under rules. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; third in a maiden hunter chase in January 2024 (2m5f, heavy); didn't show much in two chases for new yard in the winter, nor in two points in April; others stronger. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 |
1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in Irish hunter chase (2m5f, heavy) in early 2024 but struggled in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable last season and was pulled up when 66-1 for 2m4f handicap chase in December; upped in trip with tongue-tie/cheekpieces added today; leap of faith required to support him. |
20/1 |

28th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Probably fortunate when left clear to score at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month but readily followed up in four-runner C&D (good) contest ten days ago and is evidently in prime form. |
4/5 |
|
1st 4 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner; proving consistent over fences and carries a penalty for Monday's 20l success at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) where he was left clear at the last; looks sure to put up another bold show, receiving plenty of weight off his rivals. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who has reached the frame in all of his four chase runs; was no match for A Little Something when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) this month but that was after an absence and he has a big swing in the weights with that rival; could be dangerous. |
