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. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Had four starts for Tom Lacey, winning a pair of 2m hurdle races and perhaps better again when a front-running third in a handicap at Cartmel (second run in cheekpieces); obvious claims with his main rival also doubly penalised. |

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. |

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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
In good form in similar races under Georgia King lately, reaching the frame three times before resuming winning ways at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 31 days ago; the second from that race has won since so he retains handicapping scope off only 2lb higher but soft ground would be an unknown. |

1st 1 (7) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/AW handicap winner; second of 13 here (1m2f, good to firm) in May under Georgia King and has since twice made the frame under the same rider, the latest when third of seven at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last month; still unexposed on turf and respected back down in grade. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |
11/8 |

1st 1 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

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. |
