1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m6f Flat winner (Ireland 2024) who was 2-3 over hurdles two seasons back but had 297 days off before tailed off on soft ground on handicap hurdle debut last November; 306 days off this time and the market can guide. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
4lb lower than when taking another five-runner renewal of this contest last year (good); didn't kick on as he might have after that win but hopefully he's sweetened up following a five-month break. |

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 |

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. |

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. |
5/2 |

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. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-runner; far more exposed than some of these but won two (Fakenham and Bangor) of her last four starts and there's no question over her recent wellbeing; another bold show is likely despite career-high mark. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m) in May and has continued in good form, scuppered by a late blunder when third of four in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen in July; that form has been franked so this front-runner can go well again off the same mark. |

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. |
