9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
But disappointing in four runs over hurdles since a spell chasing; has dropped to a good mark as a result and better run last time; down in grade; could go well. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Easily made all in this last year when 5lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's struggled for form over fences/hurdles since winning a novice chase at Kelso in December. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won this last year before following up at Ayr and is well handicapped on all that; however, this season's wins have been over fences and it's been a struggle back hurdling the last twice. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner in 2023; useful hurdler subsequently; he's run okay recently over about 1m3f on his first two Flat starts but will be of greater interest when tackling further in handicaps. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner in April 2023, who also won twice over hurdles (2m) for Nicky Richards; 22-1, lacked the pace to challenge when fifth of nine on Flat debut at Haydock (11.5f, soft; Yafreh about 1l ahead in fourth) three weeks ago; likely to be seen in a better light once handicapping. |
8/1 |

21st May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner at Aintree in April 2023; well beaten over hurdles on last two starts (stable debut latest) but he's shown some useful form in that code and is an interesting contender on this Flat debut. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fourth in this last year (good to soft) and he comfortably made all at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) in February; pulled up at Fontwell 15 days later but that was a Grade 2; could make a bold bid back in a handicap. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Very useful handicapper who picked up a third hurdle race when comfortably landing Warwick handicap (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; something to find in this company but he's in form and the type to run above himself. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
2m/3m winner over hurdles; reappearance was encouraging but fell over fences next time and wasn't at his best back in this discipline at Haydock (3m, good to soft); nothing wrong with this mark if he can get himself back on track; ground fine. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Last of his six wins over hurdles was off a 25lb higher mark at Musselburgh in January 2024 (2m4f, soft); mainly disappointing since then, including when tried over fences; best watched for now. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
One-time very useful handicapper; nothing like as good these days and has finished last on last two starts, latest a four-runner C&D handicap last month; very well handicapped (dropped a further 4lb for his run last time so now 22lb below last winning mark); plenty to prove at present. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very talented in his prime; this 10yo isn't the force of old and today's race is much tougher than the hunter chases he's won easily on his last two starts (2m4f, good to soft/good) but if he can tap further into his back-class he may well be in the mix; James King has won this twice. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Listed winner in his prime and has made a solid start to hunter chasing, namely a close second and easy success at Wincanton; should follow up. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling last season but he was a classy chaser back in the day and nearly won his first hunter chase over 3m1f here a month ago (heavy); may need that longer trip now but strong claims otherwise. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form for a good while now, including on this month's two runs (latest a rare Flat run) for new stable; it's therefore hard to see him adding to the trainer's recent winners; Divilabother looks a much better chance for the yard but Harry Reed (who rides most of their British runners) is on this one. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but has been out of form over jumps for a good while now, including when last of six on recent stable debut; this will be his first Flat run since a heavy defeat in summer 2023. |
14/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
9-39 hurdles, but no win since quickening clear in a four-runner Class 2 at Kempton (2m5f, good; from 19lb higher) in November 2024; pulled up over fences (bled from nose) on final start for Harriet Dickin nearly four months ago; best watched on stable debut (£6,000 purchase). |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Useful mare whose record of 6-12 over hurdles includes two handicap wins over C&D and Listed honours at Sandown; heavy ground possibly contributed to a form-dip last time; faded into midfield in this race last year but was ridden more prominently than usual; on a stiffer mark this time. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced and thriving, better than ever at the age of nine; took hurdles record to 6-11 when staying on strongly to win Listed event at Sandown (2m4f, good; handles soft) early last month; has a 4lb penalty for that but she's very well entered up at the Cheltenham festival next month and commands plenty of respect here. |

12st 0lb |
Retains lots of ability despite his advancing years and won a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh in February (3m, good to soft); Uttoxeter was disappointing in a race he won the previous year, but he's shown bouncebackability in the past. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Successful in this race last year (2-3 at Uttoxeter overall) and Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh latest start, both on good to soft ground; retains plenty of ability despite his advancing years and can't be dismissed. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Veteran who won in a big field at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft; 1lb higher today) last March; tailed off both starts since (Freddie Keighley on board last time) but with nearly eight months off in between and his trainer (also runs Sonigino) is always one to note here. |
