20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
All eight Flat wins have been on the AW, though he's won twice over hurdles at up to 2m4f; very capable at the right level but this isn't it; faces a mammoth task on all the figures. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over hurdles on his handicap debut in March; this lightly raced 5yo steps up in trip for this first chasing start and it would be no surprise if he shows improvement in this sphere. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ridden by Aamilah Aswat in his last five races; he's won the last two, though a 19l margin of victory at Newbury last time (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) provided the handicapper with the ammunition to hit him with a 10lb hike; he still rates a likely contender as a 6yo firmly on the up. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Scored under Aamilah Aswat at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) this month, drawing clear of the others with a progressive rival; 6lb higher here but, after only eight hurdle runs, further progress is possible; tongue-tie added. |
4/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Not yet off the mark but the step up to 3m didn't work for him last month and he was rarely far away over similar trips to today's in 2025 (on soft and good ground); probably needs some weight off his back though. |

Fifth foal; dam pulled up in French 2m/2m1f hurdle races, half-sister to a French 2m2f Listed hurdle winner, out of half-sister to Grand Steeplechase de Paris winner Otage Du Perche; on debut, perhaps best watched. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won chase debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; from 2lb lower) in April but has posted form figures of PUP since; it's difficult to know what to expect, but he does revert to hurdles at an appropriate level and has run well here (second and third) in the past. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford in May and followed up on the Flat over this C&D (good to firm); it's disconcerting he was pulled up on his chase debut at Stratford three weeks ago but he may well bounce back and play a leading role reverting to this code. |
10/11 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |

12st 0lb |
All three defeats over hurdles have been in maidens; has since gone 5-9 over fences, last time making all at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) after wind surgery; off the same mark for his handicap debut as a hurdler. |

Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Mark took a hit for winning four of his first five races over fences (all handicaps) and was beaten 13l and 21l in his last two with cheekpieces fitted; those aids are now removed and he's only 2lb higher than for his last win, so hard to dismiss. |

He needs to produce more than he's managed on his first three chase starts but this lightly raced 6yo is in top hands and could take a sizeable step forward at some point. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Showed a nice bit of promise in three non-handicap hurdles and connections evidently keen to get him over fences for this handicap debut; could be interesting. |

Fourth of ten over C&D (soft) and sixth of 11 at Newbury (good to soft) both rank highly in this context, particularly the former, and he should play a major role this time. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Left behind previous efforts when winning at Market Rasen (2m6f, good; hooded) in May after wind surgery, her fourth handicap start, but never figured over 3m there the following month; bought for £3,000 since and, despite the drop in trip not being an obvious plus, she can have a say. |

4th 10 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Either or both of the wind surgery and headgear tweak inspired her to dig in for a head victory here latest (2m6f, good; Time Was pulled up); need to hope that improvement can translate to longer trips also, but clearly far enough down the weights to make hay if a corner has been turned. |
15/2 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting. |
