6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-4 over fences this term but far from disgraced on a couple of starts and ran respectably when fourth back over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month; yet to win in handicap company but drops in class returned to fences and warrants respect. |
7/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Record of 0-4 switched to fences this term, albeit far from disgraced on two occasions; 2-6 over hurdles and finished a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f) last April in most recent attempt; each-way possibilities. |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Younger than most of these and posted a career best when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; stiffer task in C&D non-handicap next time; unexposed over this trip and beyond, and drying ground may suit (last win came on good); definitely of interest in first-time headgear. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
2m7f winner at Market Rasen in March for previous yard and not disgraced at Plumpton on stable debut last time; had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied; interesting, with a bigger effort plausible. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |
9/2 |
|
6th 7 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered low-key seasonal/chase debut when close second at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December and was very respectable third at Windsor (2m6f, soft) last month; up in trip again here; can make bold bid from the front. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
2m4f novice hurdle winner (good) who kept on well for a close second at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago on his second chase start; today's extra yardage could prove to be a positive and he's a possible player provided he handles the ground (all starts on good/good to soft). |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Got off the mark on his stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in March with the aid of first-time cheekpieces (retained since) off 4lb lower; back over hurdles after a couple of unsuccessful efforts over fences; holds claims if running to his best form. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won his third chase start at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, edging home by a short head; hasn't reached those heights since, last time finishing behind two of these at Southwell. |
8/1 |

5th 7 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third chase start, and gave another good account before fading into fourth at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) 12 days ago; might collect a minor prize. |
14/1 |

4th 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third start over fences; that form looks modest and he's 4lb higher here but further progress is possible. |
4/1 |
