11st 9lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who is 2-2 at this sort of distance, the wins in Irish point (3m) last May and Plumpton handicap hurdle (3m1f) this month, both on good ground; open to further improvement and commands respect. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who ended last year with a brave success at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft); well held there in both runs this spring but he got involved in a battle up front last time; a player if he can get back near his best. |
13/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Steadily worked his way back to form this season, culminating in a narrow win over C&D (good to soft; 5lb higher today) in December under 7lb claimer; reverted to a lesser show 19 days ago but perhaps he needed that run after more than three months off. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had been struggling but has steadily got himself back on track and prevailed narrowly over C&D in December on latest appearance; 6lb higher for this and connections claimed another 7lb last time through Isabelle Ryder, but he had dropped to a fair mark anyway. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Point and hurdle winner on soft ground; has improved for the switch to fences, making it 2-2 with a strong staying performance over C&D last month, both wins coming under Freddie Gingell; up another 4lb, but he remains open to further progress and may well complete the hat-trick. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Point winner who was 1-8 over hurdles but he made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring over C&D (good; 13-2) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he travelled well for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that convincing success; interesting contender. |
6/4 |

1st 3 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) in March 2024; largely out of form in limited starts since but there were signs of a revival here (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; needs to back that up but could improve for this switch to fences. |

3rd 2 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only one win from 18 runs over fences but he tends to run his race and has plenty of placed efforts to his name; below par when third off this mark over C&D last month and now wears a refitted tongue-tie; could quickly return to form. |
7/4 |

3rd 3 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race for Alison Thorpe a year ago (good ground; visored) and returned from layoff with close second for new stable at Southwell (3m, good; first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; strong claims. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers. |
