17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Regularly ridden by Lucy Turner, as when winning twice over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft/soft) last February and again at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in October; good runs have followed and another one is highly likely. |

Won twice over 3m at Ludlow in February and looked back in very good nick when scoring readily by 4l at Uttoxeter (3m, good) this month; recent 6lb rise does not look excessive; respected. |

Point winner who is yet to threaten under rules but has had just four attempts and he shaped as though he may improve last month's fourth at Exeter (3m, soft) on his chase/handicap debut; interesting contender. |

10st 7lb |
Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |

11st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Signs of retaining ability, while seeming to need the run, at Ludlow (3m) this month on stable/seasonal debut and second chase attempt; may step up on that effort; nicely handicapped on best hurdles form. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Pulled up in June 2023 on sole chase start and absent since that November; however, he's on a handy mark on his best hurdle form for Peter Bowen and he's one to watch in the betting on his stable debut. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Form of October 2024's Hereford chase debut win (3m1f, good) has been consolidated rather than improved upon; fair record after long absences but realistically needs the wind surgery since last seen to elicit improvement. |

Made it 0-9 when below best at Taunton in December on his second chase start; however, he's shown some promise (including on chase debut) and has edged down the weights, and perhaps wind surgery will have helped. |

0-5 over hurdles but looked suited by the move up in trip when keeping-on fourth (about 7l behind Langley Hundred) over C&D (good) on recent chasing debut; could easily have a bigger run in him; high on the list. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Got off the mark when winning a Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in February and he's finished runner-up in four over his five starts since; his latest second was behind Knightsbridge at Warwick but he has big swing in the weights with that rival and should be in the thick of things again. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance. |

2nd 5 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark when well clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but paid the handicapping price after; it's been harder since but he was unfortunate to run up against one who relished the new 3m3f test at Stratford (good) in April, although he still ran well; major player in first 3m run. |

Four-time chase winner who is suited by good ground; out of form for Henry Oliver during the winter, but makes stable debut from a good mark and may have been refreshed by combination of new regime and 96-day break. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's fallen/unseated on three of his five starts over hurdles but was going well when exiting two out at Stratford (2m6f, soft) last month and ran well when runner-up to well-backed winner at Bangor (3m, good) a fortnight ago; major player granted a clear round. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Maiden; three times third over hurdles; 0-4 over fences and yet to complete the course, yet he was bang in contention when falling two out at Stratford three weeks ago (2m6f, soft; has form on good); if avoiding the mistakes he should have a role to play. |
