14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his ten wins have been on AW and he had a near-miss over 1m3f at Kempton last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his three wins were over 1m2f at Newcastle last October-December, easily on last occasion, but his creditable third there on latest outing suggests that the handicapper has caught up. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over C&D (Class 5) between October and December, rising 20lb in the weights; reportedly "ran flat" when only fifth of six (beaten over 12l) over C&D (Class 3) on New Year's Day; given a short break since, and this is marginally easier (a Class 4); chance. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended winter AW campaign with respectable fourth in February and kept on for third when back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; also suited by this track and can go well again; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins at up to 1m4f but last three have been on AW and last turf win was 2022; finished placed twice on AW this season but he was last of five over C&D last month and was beaten 12l on that stable debut; opposable. |

Five-time winner; picked off by late arrivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) earlier this month and a day later changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales; could have further wins in him. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

Debutant by Nathaniel out of a dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to winners La Pantera (6f), Clara Zetkin (6f/7f) and Hija (2m/3m hurdle); others are more appealing. |
