5th 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who got off the mark over fences on his second attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; third on both starts since and first-time cheekpieces are now employed along with regular tongue-tie; should be thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Off the mark over fences at second attempt, with very comfortable win in four-runner C&D (good) contest in March; again ran well when third at Southwell (2m4f, good; albeit finished tired) last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
This Irish point winner was having only his second chase start when landing a cosy success in a small-field Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; seems to have odd quirk (hung left on the run-in at Huntingdon) but has the potential for better again over fences. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Twice-raced and nicely bred 7yo who gives the impression he's likely to improve back down in distance with 2m4f reappearance under his belt; interesting in this second hurdles attempt. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
His maiden win over hurdles came at odds of 1-3 in a small field and he's since tasted defeat in three handicaps, going up 2lb for the latest second at Ludlow (2m5f, soft); difficult to call him well treated but now goes over fences and he has the look of a chaser. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner at 1-3 in a maiden at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in December; didn't see out the extended 2m7f on handicap debut next time and his fourth at Windsor (2m4f, soft; bumped before two out) on latest was better; still needs extra but he's heading the right way. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumped into a good one on his hurdling debut and then easily justified short odds at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); beaten 18l on his handicap debut at Ascot but he travelled with purpose for much of that race and didn't see out the extended 2m7f; this trip might be the right fit at this stage of his career; respected. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree. |
3/1 |

9th 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Made the running when winning two novice hurdles in November (2m3f/2m, good); ridden with restraint and pulled hard when failing to threaten in February in his first two handicaps (2m, good to soft/soft); could yet be capable of considerably better for his top yard, and a return to more prominent tactics might be the catalyst for an improved performance. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 9lb |
Authoritative Wetherby maiden winner (2m, good) last month on his fifth start over hurdles; needs to back it up now entering handicap company; one for the shortlist. |
7/1 |

1st 9 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Weakened into modest third over 2m3f at Catterick last time; consistent at 2m otherwise in bumpers and over hurdles; holds solid and leading claims back down in distance. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

24th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Promising third of seven at Doncaster; the first two give mixed messages as regards that form but he's open to improvement and Harry Cobden is a positive booking. |

14th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

By Telescope; half-brother to useful 1m7f-2m4f chase winner Numitor; dam unplaced in bumpers; stable's newcomers usually come on for a run. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Good-ground bumper winner; has missed the frame on only one occasion over hurdles, when highly tried at Kelso on handicap debut following wind surgery; better judged on latest Hereford second (2m, good) when back in maiden company; respected at this level against her own sex. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Good-ground bumper winner; 0-4 as a hurdler but placed on two occasions and was highly tried last time (after wind surgery); respected at this level. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who has run well in defeat on two of her three hurdle starts, most recently runner-up at Catterick (1m7f, good) in December; has had wind op since; makes handicap debut off workable mark and she's the sole runner here today for her in-form southern trainer; interesting. |

Fourth foal; half-sister to bumper/hurdle winner Ceara Be; dam fair Flat/hurdle hurdle winner, half-sister to four 2yo sprint winners; has the right type of pedigree for bumpers and her stable does fairly well in these races (10% strike-rate). |

Modest form in five runs over hurdles, pulled up in handicaps on last two; first-time tongue-tie worn last time is persevered with, joined by first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Yet to make the frame in a trio of runs over hurdles, seventh in 2m Hereford novice four weeks ago; needs this switch to handicaps to spark some progress. |

The RPR of 104 for November's 13l Newcastle fifth (2m1f, good to soft; weakened last) is a bit of an outlier, and his Sandown second since was a remote one; others are that bit more persuasive. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Has good Flat pedigree and represents a top stable but made underwhelming start to career when midfield in two bumpers towards end of last season and needs to take a big step forward on this hurding debut. |
