16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-4 over hurdles but mixed form in five runs over fences, with his best effort a second of five at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; had wind surgery after disappointing run at Kelso (jumped right) in February and he had a walkover at Hereford on Tuesday; not easy to weigh up at present but both hurdle wins came over similar trips and he has claims if back near best. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Well beaten at Kelso in February last time to make it 0-4 over fences but that was on heavy going and he's had a wind op since, while the return to a right-handed track is a likely plus; good second at Windsor (3m, soft) in January and he seems fine on good ground; solid claims if back on song. |

Lightly raced 7yo who ran well when upped in trip at Windsor (3m, soft) last month, finishing second of five; there can be optimism he'll still be seen to good effect now back down in distance and he's one to consider. |

11st 7lb |
Course bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in April 2024 (soft ground); 0-4 over hurdles for that stable last season, signing off with defeat at odds of 4-11 in 2m7f Uttoxeter maiden won by Stone's Throw in March; however, he sports a first-time tongue-tie and visor for this stable/handicap debut and it will be very interesting to see what Sam Thomas can do with him. |

Bred to be useful and won Bangor bumper last April; ran as if amiss on hurdles debut but he looks to be progressing now and took second behind an impressive odds-on shot in maiden at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago; shapes as if he'll stay this longer trip; leading player. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Beaten favourite on last three starts, albeit one upped to 3m4f and Class 3 and another over hurdles; largely back on track with last month's Wincanton second, and doesn't appear weighted out of further gains. |

2nd 2 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Hit the ground running for this yard with two chase wins in the autumn (3m/3m2f, good to soft) and then ran pretty well in a marathon chase at Windsor; latest defeat was over hurdles and is probably best forgiven. |

Started off for Sam Thomas with two chase wins in the autumn (3m/3m2f, good to soft) and subsequently ran well in quite valuable Windsor marathon; reverts to hurdling on a lower mark and needs to be taken very seriously; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

11st 12lb |
Looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on his handicap debut but was beaten even further back over 2m4f at Market Rasen (14l off the winner); off the same mark here but has undergone a wind operation, which may help. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Came good over hurdles at fifth attempt, with clearcut success at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in January; well beaten (albeit in better race than this) last month, though, and may not be ideally suited by this quicker ground. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Not an instant success over fences this season but cheekpieces seem to have helped lately and he won by 5l off a reduced mark here (2m1f, good to soft) last month; moves up in grade today but should be fine over the longer trip and might use that recent success as a springboard. |

Lightly raced 8yo; dropped to 2m1f from 2m4f he ran better to be beaten about 12l at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) a month ago; down 3lb with cheekpieces fitted and more appealing than a good many. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark on his penultimate start, when getting racing early at Southwell (2m4f, good) and seeing it out well; tactics were similar when, after a 5lb rise, he was almost 5l second in a C&D (good) conditionals event recently; should be thereabouts. |

Out of a half-sister to stable's Gold Cup winner Coneygree; won good-ground point bumper by 5l in January 2024 but has struggled on all three starts under rules, most recently when pulled-up 100-1 shot in 2m3f Doncaster maiden in March. |
