25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who has shown excellent progress over fences and whose record for current stable reads 11112, the last two wins in Grade 2 handicaps; collared by Jonbon in soft-ground Grade 1 at Ascot (2m1f) when last seen; may turn the tables returned to forecast ideal ground, being 5-5 on good; possibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet; respected. |
7/4 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
One of the success stories of the season, improving dramatically for new yard and rattling off four handicap wins (2m-2m3f, all on good); showed high-class form when routing six rivals at Kempton just after Christmas; impossible to discount, but he'll need another personal best in this higher grade and he also has to prove he's as effective on ground softer than good. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Debut for this yard when making it 2-3 over fences with an all-the-way success last week at Kelso (2m1f, good), justifying odds of 5-4 on his return from a 265-day absence; 2lb well in even with the penalty and he's very lightly raced for an 8yo. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here. |
5/4 |

3rd 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Three-time winner over fences for James Ewart (2m-2m4f) but he didn't get going for Olly Murphy and it's been a similar story in two points and a hunter chase (all about 3m) for these connections; the drop back in trip might help, though. |

|
3rd 2 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has folded in a couple of points for new yard and his record over 3m remains far from solid; yet to win beyond 2m4f and faces a stiff task at the weights; hunter chase debut. |
16/1 |

7th 5 |
25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Did well over fences for James Ewart but a beaten favourite in both his runs for Olly Murphy (2m/2m2f handicap chases) and currently has a bit to prove; does stay this far so stamina will be no excuse. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has made the frame on his last four starts but he's operating at a lower level than in the past, having no obvious excuses over 2m at Musselburgh (C&D winner) last month; has slipped to his last winning mark but others are preferred. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has registered a couple of useful handicap wins this season, including at Kempton (2m4f, good) on penultimate start; faces a stiffer task conceding weight all round in this grade, with 4lb penalty incurred. |
25/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Can be difficult to settle and he was reluctant to line up at Kempton (2m4f, good) four weeks ago, but that didn't stop him winning; had just a neck to spare but the first two were clear and this 8yo is now 4-10 over fences; further progress is possible and he's not ruled out up just 3lb. |
40/1 |
|
1st 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
All three chase wins (good to soft and good) in 2025, including at 2m2f here; creditable shows in his first 2m4f chases on last two starts and perhaps this sharper test than at Newbury recently will suit; not far away. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Safely held at last month's Aintree festival but back in calmer waters here and now back on same mark as for win at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over this trip; might be the answer. |
6/1 |

9th 12 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who hasn't had much racing for his age and has been progressive this term, with wins at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) and Haydock (2m4f, good to soft); however, below par at Carlisle in February last time and, even if back on song, there's a firm suspicion this will prove too competitive. |
33/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft) and 8l second to progressive winner at Doncaster (2m, soft) last time; he can give another good account and is one to consider. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won over C&D off a 6lb higher mark in September (good); has not fared quite as well since, although more encouraging run when 13l third of seven over 2m1f here last time (good); step back up in trip will suit. |
7/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |

Won over 2m5f here following a 163-day break last September (good) but rather disappointing since; on a good mark now, but a bit to prove. |

12st 0lb |
Free-goer who was useful in his prime and was in front before last-fence fall over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and, providing his confidence has not been affected, he's an obvious contender. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Back in better form the last twice, then sold for £7,000; gained his sole chase win off 7lb higher and can't be dismissed on debut for another new yard (his fifth). |
5/1 |

2nd 5 |
13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Should be well handicapped and he ran well for a long way when a 4l third behind Jet Of Dreams at Chepstow (2m, good); perhaps went off a bit too hot that day and has to be of interest. |

Regressive 9yo who ought to have been favoured by the soft ground when never-dangerous fourth (about 19l behind Dusky Days) here (2m6f) last month; on a very good mark now but needs to stage a revival. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Took step back in right direction when respectable fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month and has the services of James Bowen again here but this regressive 9yo is patently not the force of old; others preferred. |
