22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has shown better form over hurdles than on the Flat in 2026 but may benefit from the return from this scenario, having gained sole success over C&D; second start for new yard. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last February when trained by Jim & Suzi Best; 0-5 for his previous stable (Flat/hurdles) and has a hood applied on his first outing for Luke Dace. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-grade winner on the AW who has shown some aptitude for hurdling, making the frame in run-of-the-mill 2m maidens at Hereford (good) and Huntingdon (good to firm); not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but should feature in a weak race. |

26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
12-race maiden who has been well beaten in his last two runs but he failed to see out 1m2f last time and was placed a few times earlier in the year, going close over C&D in March; each-way possible now back down in trip. |
14/1 |

12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went close off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and was good third at Yarmouth next time, but his form has cooled in last two starts; has bit to prove again and he's now 0-11; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
14th May 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he's been generally consistent since joining this yard in January; behind Paragon when fourth of 13 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last week and needs a bit more in the added cheekpieces (has tried blinkers and hood) to turn those placings around. |

Unplaced in all 13 starts, yet to improve for the switch to Mick Applenby's stable; return to 7f can help but others have more pressing claims. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

3yo maiden who gives the impression she may prove suited by this step back up to 1m on third start for shrewd new connections; new headgear combination; not ruled out. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Wasn't placed in ten starts for Marco Botti; sold for 7,000gns to join upwardly mobile connections in July, and it would be no surprise if she showed significant improvement from her stable debut when fifth of 14 at Lingfield (7f, AW) ten days ago. |

Three-time course winner over 7f/8.6f and suggested he needed a return to a stiffer test when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) six days ago; respected. |

5th 7 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Caught late after hanging left in a C&D classified event two starts ago before gaining his fifth AW success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on old form and he has to be respected. |
9/2 |

1st 11 (2) |

Two course wins include one over C&D; has been placed in each of his last three starts, most recently when getting caught late after hanging left at Lingfield (1m) 17 days ago; drops in trip with cheekpieces on for the first time and he's shortlisted. |

Good third in 6f Leicester nursery in October but he's not come close to that form since and was out the back on recent stable debut at Southwell (5f); record now 0-9 and has plenty to prove on his step up to this trip. |
