Triumph Hurdle entry at Cheltenham; fair 1m6f Irish Flat winner in July and followed up in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good front-running third to a top prospect at Ascot (good) 18 days ago and that's easily the best hurdles form in this line-up. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark at Uttoxeter on chase debut in October (2m, good); decent second next time but last two runs have been a bit disappointing (26l last of four at Stratford last month); may well have the race run to suit him and he's a possible. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won readily by 5l on British chasing debut at Uttoxeter in October (2m, good); absent since disappointing run over 2m4f on New Year's Day but could still have potential and will be dangerous if back on song after 108-day break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |

Ex-French and was placed on his chasing debut there last summer; 1-4 as a juvenile hurdler last term but was set some stiff tasks and he made an immediate impact back over fences when readily beating four others at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month, despite jumping a little to his right; up 5lb but likely has a good bit more to offer. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Aided by cheekpieces this year, winning three in a row here (2m-2m4f, heavy) in January/February; also suited by faster ground but managed only fifth behind Jack's Jury off this career-high mark over C&D (soft) last month. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Thriving 5yo who has won three times on heavy ground here (2m-2m4f) this year; drew nicely clear of the others with another in-form horse when prevailing by a neck over C&D last time and remains unexposed over this trip; must be considered. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Heavy-ground 2m wins here the last twice, and although the latter represented no further improvement on RPRs he was value for further than 2l having walked through the last; untried over this far and 7lb rise demands a career-best, but clearly in the heart to go close once more. |

Sole win from 14 starts came at Bath (1m4f, good to firm) last June on his final start for Richard Hughes; failed to make an impact in four starts over hurdles for Harry Derham and he's struggled in three outings since joining this stable; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
First run over this sort of trip when springing a 50-1 surprise at Hereford in October; proved it was no fluke when third at that track (also 3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; latter form looks solid and he's unexposed as a stayer; player despite potential ground query. |

Fair on the Flat for Ed Walker last year; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn (failed to complete consecutive races) but his run at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |

0-8 on Flat, with plenty of fair form (best effort at 1m2f); however, she refused at the third flight on stable/hurdle debut in November and was pulled up before two out when 66-1 at Newbury one month later. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner in Germany; has hurtled down the ratings in Britain for good reason but having first run for Mark Loughnane when showing more here 18 days ago (8.6f; 5-1); he faded late on after being up there; could be on the verge of turning a corner. |

9st 6lb |
Won over 1m and 1m1f in Germany, on turf and sand, but it's been a right old slog in Britain; at least he's dropped 22lb since last May and any market move would be interesting on yard debut (left Max Young); tongue-tie refitted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Small fields suit this free-going mare, as do sharp, flat tracks; perhaps on a fairly tough mark after coming up short last time but shouldn't be far away. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Free-going mare whose latest game, dominating Fakenham success took her record to 3-5 in 2m contests there; 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive, but a best RPR of 81 going right-handed versus 104 anticlockwise tempers greater confidence. |
4/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high. |
