12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner on good ground over 2m4f; bumper winner on heavy and won his maiden here on soft (1m7f); nearly went in again in a Taunton novice last time but this is a huge hike in trip for only his second handicap, having never raced beyond 2m1f under rules. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Something went wrong when favourite on handicap debut last time but previous bumper (including on good ground) and hurdles form makes him one of the leading candidates in this line-up. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Useful bumper performer who won a Wincanton maiden (1m7f, soft) on last month's hurdle debut and was not discredited when fourth at Sandown (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; should have some improvement to come in handicaps; leading contender. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Good-ground bumper runner-up who improved with each of his first four runs over hurdles, easily winning a maiden here (2m, soft) in February; pulled up in the competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft) since and needs to prove his stamina, but pedigree provides hope; not written off. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Took a few goes to get off the mark over hurdles but did so in emphatic fashion at Plumpton (2m, soft), making all in a canter; bred to be suited by 2m4f+ and is a very interesting contender now tackling handicaps. |

1st 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who has shown ability in 2m hurdle races won by smart novices and this could be his best opening yet; leading chance on figures. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
No immediate improvement for a switch to handicap company when fourth of nine over 2m5f at Haydock (good to soft) seven weeks ago but it's still early days for a good stable with a very strong Perth record. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Not seen since struggling in good-quality Newbury maiden in November but significant positives can be drawn from his first two hurdle runs (both 2m); up in trip for this handicap debut and open to improvement. |
5/1 |

8th 3 |
17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner (yielding) who bettered his disappointing bumper debut when third of six at Taunton (heavy) in February; probably needs to improve again to make a winning hurdle debut but riding arrangements suggest he's the pick of Olly Murphy's four runners. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Made a solid start to hurdling career on good ground; second on handicap debut at Newbury in November and went one better next time in taking fashion at Wetherby (again about 3m on soft) in February; raised 7lb but it's easy to think he has significantly more to give. |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner who landed a maiden here (2m3f, good) in October on second hurdle start before good second on handicap debut at Newbury (3m, soft) in November; there can be optimism he'll continue to progress for his top trainer and he's high on the list. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Ran well under penalties after winning his first bumper and has the benefit of hurdling experience after chasing home a well-touted horse (promising) at Chepstow (2m, good); faces nothing of that one's calibre here and very hard to oppose. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish point winner; only 13l off the Supreme fourth Baron Noir in a Uttoxeter maiden before finishing tailed off on his handicap debut (both those runs on soft and in a new tongue-tie); could be interesting on the back of a wind operation. |
14/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner; has been racing prominently and didn't have it all his own way when a 13l third behind the smart Baron Noir (won last weekend) at Uttoxeter a month ago (first-time tongue-tie); stays this far and might be on a fair mark for handicap debut. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second foal; half-brother to fair 7f/1m Flat winner Majestic Tejaan; dam unraced half-sister to a 1m6f/2m Flat winner; has fairly good standard to reach on debut and stable is 0-15 in bumpers during last five seasons. |
