28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around this trip last year (Chepstow maiden and Sedgefield novice); comes into this having won a Carlisle handicap on the Flat three weeks ago (1m1f, soft); quite interesting. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a record of 3-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; creditable third at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut most recently; major player off same mark, assuming he copes with this drop back in trip (stiff track and forecast slow ground are helpful in that respect). |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since French Flat win in 2022; close up in three of his four races for Venetia Williams and back from a long break when narrowly denied at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on latest, albeit by a 16-1 chance who hadn't shown much previously; thereabouts. |
100/30 |

2nd 4 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1-9 on the Flat in France (RPR 105) and showed ability in two starts over hurdles on a soft surface at Ludlow (2m) in February, his latest third of 12 catching the attention of the stewards; has looked highly strung, but he gives the strong impression he has a much bigger effort in him and this isn't a deep race. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) in the autumn and creditable fourth at Aintree (3m, soft) in December when his jumping lacked fluency and he didn't see the trip out that well; disputed favouritism at Newbury (2m4f) last month but clipped heels and slipped up before halfway; cheekpieces go on and he needs to resume improvement, with Sean Bowen (on board for those wins) back. |
6/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) and, although only fourth on soft off this higher mark at Aintree, he didn't run badly given his jumping lacked fluency; still lightly raced and by no means ruled out. |
5/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Improved upon his debut third at Chepstow (2m, good) in April to win a maiden hurdle over this C&D (good) last month; he begins handicap life on a fair mark and this very lightly raced 5yo could have more to offer. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |
11/2 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |
9/2 |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in France last year; 0-7 and generally disappointing over hurdles but the form of his close third at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) two starts ago reads quite well, and his top trainer has an excellent strike-rate (6-14) with his occasional Sedgefield runners. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Modest run last time but wasn't far away in his two previous runs after a wind operation and there are races in him off this mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His three qualifying starts were over a trip that looked short of ideal; couldn't take a significant step forward when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter in June (good); returns from a break and wind surgery needing improvement to defy this mark. |

Off the mark on second run over fences at Leicester in December (2m6f, good; cheekpieces on for second time); up 5lb; takes another step up in trip, but a possible. |

Some promise when fourth of 12 on his bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in December, but has shown little in another bumper and two starts over hurdles since; may be one for handicaps is due course. |

Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles, with jumping an issue; going right handed may help (jumped that way back in a maiden last time) but unconvincing overall; first run beyond 2m5f. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in bumpers and over hurdles so far and she had jumping issues on handicap debut at Fontwell (unseated at fourth) last week; still early days but has a lot to find back in a maiden and can only be watched; cheekpieces added. |

Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was well beaten when 40-1 for recent handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good); drops back in trip with tongue-tie and blinkers added here. |

Has got better with each of his four runs, finishing a 22l fifth in a Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) four weeks ago, and this handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity; however, improvement is still needed. |
