1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive 7yo won a competitive Ascot handicap in December (15.5f, good to soft) and was second in a valuable Windsor handicap next time (2m, soft); posted career-best effort in the County Hurdle last time, keeping on well to win by three lengths (2m1f, soft); has course form after filling the second spot in a festival handicap here last season; enters Grade 1 company now and will need a good fist of improvement again, but he's clearly thriving. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive 7yo who made it 5-11 over hurdles when making all in competitive handicap at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December; backed that up when second of 14 in another valuable handicap at Windsor (2m, soft) in January; likeable but he will need more again. |

Progressive 7yo who made it 5-11 over hurdles when making all in competitive handicap at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; had nearly 3l to spare over the runner-up Hot Fuss and he's respected up 7lb. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Point/bumper winner who landed a Hexham novice (2m, good) in October but has a mixed record since and was only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are more convincing. |

Made a winning start for current yard over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in November but only eighth back hurdling in 2m7f handicap here 17 days ago; visor and tongue-tie are retried now. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; front-running in the 2m4f Ascot Handicap (33-1) one month later did not work out but he might still have more to offer on the Flat. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) one month ago, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; up 7lb and into a much stronger race but he could have plenty more to offer. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Fairly useful hurdler who was consistent last jumps season, albeit in defeat; has left Paul Nicholls (same owners); unexposed on Flat (1-3 in France early in 2023) and needs a second look. |

Without a win on the Flat since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent hurdler who returned to the Flat with respectable fourth (just behind Penelope's Sister) over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower today and might be better suited by the slightly slower ground; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-54 but he's been placed over hurdles in his last two runs and is well handicapped on his best Flat form in 2025; hard to rule out back in this sphere and he has won at this track. |

11st 9lb |
Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |

Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Useful hurdler who is 1-1 over fences having won a four-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m4f, soft) on last month's reappearance; today's task is tougher and he has something to find, but he's unexposed over fences and at this sort of trip, and he may well have more to offer. |

This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Made it two wins for the season when scoring over C&D (soft) in January and bounced back from lesser run here when 1l second of five over C&D (soft) last month; could give another good account but he needs to be better than ever back up in grade if he's to win today. |

Two wins this season, on good ground at Kelso and soft over C&D; still on a competitive mark if a line can be put through his latest effort when tailed off over this C&D. |

Short-headed when upped in trip at Ayr (2m, good) last month on his second stable start before winning here (2m, good); he's just 1lb higher than last time and could have more to offer over staying distances; respected. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two solid efforts for new stable, latterly beaten a short head into second at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; twice a winner over hurdles but this will be the first time he has tackled 2m on the Flat. |

Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at about 2m3f at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) and the combination of a deep race and the drop back to 2m found him out at Aintree; better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |
10/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
On a hat-trick after 2m3f wins at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) under Charlie Maggs last month but the fact he failed to win at around 2m on his first ten starts in Britain hardly boosts confidence in him for this drop back in trip. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |

It was a Class 4 he won at Haydock (good to soft; raced prominently) but that was his first time over this far since arriving from France and he's a willing partner; Charlie Maggs rides again off a 5lb higher mark. |
